We are looking for a Senior Receiving Inspector to join our Quality team. As a Senior Receiving Inspector, you’ll be part of a cross‑functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems.

In this role, you will make sure that incoming, in‑process, and finished components agree with mechanical, electrical, and PCBA specifications. You will also own the inspection element of the Material Review Board (MRB) process: the handling and the containment of nonconforming material, the inspection actions that the MRB assigns, and the verification, closure, and tracking of nonconformance records after the Quality Engineer gives the disposition.

You will serve as the senior technical resource for inspection, allocate daily inspection work, and give guidance to less‑experienced inspectors. The ideal candidate balances technical expertise with the professional integrity to hold quality standards under production pressure.

• Perform daily inspection of incoming parts, in‑process production, and final release of finished goods. Determine the inspection method and the sequence of daily work with little instruction.
• Inspect mechanical, electrical, and PCBA components and their documentation against approved engineering specifications, drawings, and purchase order requirements.
• Interpret drawing callouts and datum structures (GD&T, ASME Y14.5), and convert them into inspection plans and acceptance criteria.
• Apply statistical sampling plans to select the sample size and the acceptance criteria, and increase the sample size when the quality data shows a risk.
• Select and use the correct metrology gauges and instruments, and program and operate automated measurement systems (CMM, OMM, or vision systems).
• Support the calibration schedule. Remove out‑of‑tolerance equipment from service and start the recall and impact assessment for affected product. Keep the inspection area and the tooling to the local 5S procedure.
• Control nonconforming material. Identify, tag, segregate, and quarantine the material, and keep lot and serial traceability correct at each move (ISO 9001, AS9100).
• Do the containment actions. Sweep stock, work‑in‑process, in‑transit, and finished goods to find all affected material, and hold the affected lots until the disposition is complete.
• Write the nonconformance record (NCR) for Material Review Board review with the nonconforming condition, the measurement data, the affected quantity,…
