Team: Hardware Engineering
Reports to: Ben Lawson, Director of Hardware Engineering
Location: Boston, MA (On-site)
Type: Full-time
About Us
QuEra Computing is building neutral-atom quantum computers at the frontier of the field. Our Hardware Engineering team designs, builds, and deploys the complex modules and systems (involving optical, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering disciplines) at the heart of our machines. We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to keep this fast-moving, cross-disciplinary work coordinated, visible, and on track.
About the Role
This is a hands-on project management role sitting between program management and project coordination. Your organization and diligence will enable the Hardware Engineering organization to execute and deliver. You manage the Hardware Engineering aspects of projects with outside groups (Science, Software, Test and Infrastructure) as well as within the hardware engineering team (Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, and Manufacturing/Production).
What You'll Do
- Field and triage incoming requests from the Science team — work with requesters to understand what is actually needed, by when, and at what priority relative to other requests — then translate that into actionable work.
- Drive delivery completeness — work with the HW Engineering team to ensure all the necessary equipment and planning is done for a successful deployment: all required modules, components, and facilities included in plan.
- Coordinate across disciplines — manage dependencies, requests, and support between ME, EE, OE, and production so cross-functional work stays aligned.
- Own project tracking in Jira — break deliverables into tasks and sub-tasks, capture duration and effort estimates, enforce workflow best practices, and keep boards clean, current, and accurate.
- Plan and manage resources — track resourcing needs and escalate risks early.
- Chase status and remove blockers — monitor projects, follow up with owners for updates, and proactively resolve stalls to keep projects on track.
- Make meetings count — record actions with owners and due dates, track them to closure.
- Audit project artifacts — ensure projects have the required documents in the correct formats/templates and track them down when they're missing.
How Success Is Measured
Within your first 90 days: every active Hardware Engineering project is current and accurate in Jira; incoming Science requests follow a consistent intake path; and no deployment is delayed by a forgotten dependency, missing part, or stalled purchase.
What We're Looking For
- 5–8 years of project management or project coordination experience in a hardware engineering, lab, scientific instrumentation, or manufacturing environment.
- Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional engineering work (mechanical, electrical, and/or optical) — comfortable in conversations about components, BOMs, integration, and installation logistics.
- Strong skills with project tracking tools (Jira preferred): task breakdown, estimation tracking, automation, and workflow design.
- Persistent, diplomatic follow-up — comfortable driving accountability without authority.
- Strong organizational and communication skills; able to translate loosely defined requests into concrete, scheduled work.
Nice to Have
- Experience with hardware engineering development and production.
- Experience supporting system deployments or installations at customer or facility sites.
- PMP or Agile/Scrum certification.
Why Join
- Direct, visible impact: whether systems ship on time and deploy without surprises will be, in large part, your doing.
- Work alongside a world-class, cross-disciplinary team building deep tech machines at the frontier of technology.
- Growth path into program management as the hardware organization scales.
Working Environment
This role is full-time on-site.
Salary Range: $150,000-$190,000. We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Technical Project Manager
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian bachelor's degree qualifies, but your resume needs to show the degree field directly supports the TPM role. Project management credentials like PMP alongside a relevant degree strengthen your specialty occupation case with U.S. employers.
Target employers with active federal contract work
Federal contractors routinely hire Technical Project Managers and are experienced with E-3 visa sponsorship because their compliance infrastructure already handles LCA filings. Defense, infrastructure, and government IT sectors are practical starting points for your search.
Search specifically for E-3 sponsorship using Migrate Mate
Most job boards don't filter by visa type. Use Migrate Mate to find Technical Project Manager roles where employers have demonstrated E-3 or LCA filing history, so you're not cold-pitching sponsorship to employers unfamiliar with the process.
Clarify project delivery methodology in your application
U.S. employers assessing specialty occupation for TPM roles look for demonstrated expertise in Agile, Scrum, or PMBOK frameworks. Spell out your methodology experience explicitly so your application supports the DOL's specialty occupation determination during LCA review.
Get your offer letter to specify degree requirements
The LCA and visa application depend on the employer confirming the role requires a bachelor's degree. Ask HR to include the minimum educational requirement in your offer letter before the E-3 filing process starts. Missing this detail can delay USCIS processing.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage LCA timing
The DOL must certify your LCA before your consulate appointment. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so certification and consulate scheduling run in parallel without gaps that could delay your start date.
E-3 Visa Technical Project Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Technical Project Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Technical Project Manager roles where employers have E-3 or LCA filing history. Most general job boards don't filter by visa type, so you end up applying blind. Migrate Mate surfaces roles from employers already familiar with the E-3 process, which significantly reduces the time spent educating hiring managers about sponsorship requirements.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Technical Project Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, when the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as computer science, engineering, information systems, or business management. The key is that the degree must be tied directly to the job's core duties. General management roles that accept any degree can fail the specialty occupation test, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Technical Project Manager roles?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so you can apply any time of year and start as soon as your employer files the Labor Condition Application with the DOL. H-1B visa selection is lottery-based with an October 1 start date. For Australian professionals, the E-3 is a faster, more predictable path to the same TPM roles in the U.S.
Can I switch Technical Project Manager roles while on an E-3?
Yes, but each new employer must file a new LCA with the DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp if you travel internationally before starting. If you stay in the U.S. and the new role still qualifies as a specialty occupation, you can begin work once the new LCA is certified. There's no grace period requirement to wait for a new visa stamp if you don't leave the country.
