## Description

GlobalFoundries' GF LABS organization drives differentiated technology innovation with a strategic horizon beyond two years. We collaborate closely with our businesses and ecosystem partners to define and execute medium- and long-range R&D programs.
The quantum computing industry is transitioning from the 'noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) to utility scale quantum computing (USQC) and GF is uniquely positioned to champion this transition. We are seeking a driven executive to lead our Quantum Technology Development initiatives. This role is ideal for a seasoned technologist with a strong background in the integration and materials systems required to create quantum solutions and beneficial to have knowledge across quantum modalities-including superconducting, photonic, electron spin, ion trap, and neutral atom systems. The successful candidate will provide technical leadership, strategic direction, and operational oversight to a high-performing team, with a focus on building and scaling an at-scale quantum technology execution organization. The scope of the role covers broad aspects of quantum computing technology including cryo-CMOS and specific modalities, * Strategy & Roadmap: Develop and execute the GF Labs Quantum roadmap aligned with emerging industry needs strategic customer engagements.

 * Team Scaling: Lead the aggressive recruitment, onboarding, and mentoring of a at-scale multidisciplinary team, including quantum physicists, integration and process engineers, design enablement engineers and project managers.
 * Joint Development: Lead planning and execution of customer joint development programs targeting the acceleration of quantum system comprised of >1m qubits.
 * Ecosystem Cultivation: Build strategic partnerships with quantum materials/tools providers, research institutions and universities to solve fundamental materials and integration challenges.
 * Stakeholder Advocacy: Champion the value of quantum initiatives through clear communication of technical milestones and demonstrated ROI to business stakeholders.
 * System Integration: Quality and reliability at the system level will be driven by the hardware reliability - developing robust capabilities for cryo-operations is a top priority
 * Operational Oversight: Oversee GF Labs Quantum Technology Solutions:
 + Optimize project scope and timelines for maximum strategic impact.
 + Drive continuous improvement in specialized quantum fabrication processes.
 + Establish OKR-driven management systems to track quantum hardware benchmarks.
 + Manage 8-quarter budget planning and performance for large-scale R&D.
