Senior Operations Planning Analyst

PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. 

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. 

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. 

That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström. 

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. 

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift, and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we now have the funding, the government validation, and the sites under construction to make it real. 

Job Summary:

PsiQuantum is seeking a Senior Operations Planning Analyst to own the recurring supply, demand, and capacity planning cycle for a complex manufacturing environment. This role will maintain planning data and models, reconcile inputs across systems, track supplier and component commitments, identify emerging constraints, and prepare clear weekly analysis and recommendations for management review.
The analyst will help leaders make timely, well-informed decisions by providing a reliable view of demand, supply, labor capacity, production availability, and risk. The role is central to improving execution, surfacing constraints earlier, and reducing dependence on a single individual for critical planning activities. It will partner closely with operations, manufacturing, engineering, finance, IT, suppliers, and systems teams.
This role owns the operational planning process, planning models, data quality, requirements, and decision support. Management retains accountability for capacity strategy, major supply and production tradeoffs, executive escalations, planning governance, and recovery decisions.

Responsibilities:

Supply, Demand, and Capacity Planning

• Build and maintain weekly supply and demand plans for products, assemblies, and constrained components.
• Translate parent-product demand into component requirements for wafers, dies, PCBAs, FAUs, and other critical materials.
• Model yields, inventory, lead times, demand offsets, work in process, supplier commitments, and production availability.
• Develop finite-capacity plans for internal departments and external manufacturing resources.
• Analyze labor, equipment, material, supplier, and process constraints before they affect production or customer commitments.
• Assess capacity options such as overtime, weekend work, contractors, surge capacity, and external manufacturing resources.
• Prepare scenarios and recommendations when demand exceeds available supply or manufacturing capacity.
• Support capacity allocation discussions with clear analysis of demand, constraints, and operational impact.

Planning Systems and Data

• Maintain and improve planning models with use of AI tools as appropriate, dashboards, PivotTables, formulas, Power Query processes, and VBA automation.
• Reconcile planning data across NetSuite, Camstar MES, Arena, homegrown systems, and Excel.
• Check that planning inputs reflect current approved bills of material, routings, labor standards, work orders, inventory, and supply information.
• Create repeatable checks to flag missing, stale, duplicated, or inconsistent data.
• Define data requirements and business rules for planning-system improvements and integrations.
• Partner with IT, systems integrators, manufacturing, engineering, and finance to resolve data and process issues.
• Maintain practical documentation, version control, and change-control practices for planning models and reports.
• Partner with IT and systems teams on enterprise architecture, security, software development, and production support.

Supplier and Constraint Management

• Track supplier forecasts, commitments, shortages, lead times, and recovery plans.
• Incorporate supplier capacity and delivery commitments into the overall supply plan.
• Identify gaps among demand, internal capacity, supplier supply, and component availability.
• Prepare forecasts, requirements, due dates, and exception reports to support supplier discussions.
• Establish a consistent process for collecting, validating, and updating supplier commitments.

Reporting and Decision Support

• Produce weekly dashboards covering demand, supply, capacity, utilization, constraints, shortages, and recovery actions.
• Develop stoplight reporting and exception management that focus leadership attention on the highest-risk items.
• Present analysis with specific recommendations for capacity allocation, supply adjustments, and shortage recovery.
• Explain the operational impact of changes in demand, labor, supplier commitments, yields, lead times, or bills of material.
• Prepare analysis for operations reviews, supply reviews, executive meetings, and cross-functional planning discussions.

Experience/Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

• 5 or more years of experience in supply-chain planning, production planning, capacity planning, materials planning, S&OP, MRP, or related operations planning.
• Experience planning in a complex manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of demand, supply, inventory, bills of material, yields, lead times, work orders, capacity constraints, and supplier commitments.
• Advanced Excel skills, including PivotTables, complex formulas, Power Query, and data modeling; VBA experience preferred.
• Experience with ERP, MES, PLM, MRP, or supply-chain planning systems.
• Ability to reconcile conflicting data across multiple systems and assess which information is reliable.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate complex planning issues clearly to executives, engineers, suppliers, and operations teams.
• Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous business problems into usable processes, models, reports, and system requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with NetSuite, Camstar MES, Arena, or similar systems.
• Experience in electronics, semiconductor, medical-device, aerospace, or other high-complexity manufacturing.
• Experience with finite-capacity planning or advanced planning and scheduling.
• Experience modeling component yields, processing offsets, constrained supply, and multilevel product demand.
• Experience supporting ERP/MES integration or large-scale planning-system implementations.
• Familiarity with SQL, Power BI, or other reporting and data-analysis tools.
• Experience coordinating shared forecasts, commitments, and planning portals with external suppliers.
