Senior Counsel will lead complex commercial contracting and strategic transactions, including customer, partnership, government, licensing, technology development, SaaS, data, vendor, and procurement agreements. The role advises on intellectual property, export controls, national security, public company obligations, revenue recognition, disclosure, governance, and regulatory matters. It also develops legal processes, playbooks, approval frameworks, and training while partnering with commercial, technical, finance, and executive teams in a high-growth public technology company.

Lead end-to-end technical execution for a terrestrial quantum gravity gradiometer program. Own system architecture, technical decisions, risk mitigation, verification and validation, testing, and product readiness. Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams spanning systems, mechanical, thermal, opto-mechanical, electrical, embedded controls, and software. Partner with program leadership on cost, schedule, roadmaps, and technical execution while mentoring engineers and supporting deployed quantum sensing products.

Administer contracts from negotiation through closeout, including reviewing terms, assessing risk, ensuring FAR and DFARS compliance, managing deliverables and changes, advising stakeholders, coordinating government property reporting, and completing final invoicing and disposition activities. The role also maintains contract records, supports billing and collection, and collaborates with accounting, program teams, customers, and government officials.

Supports sales and commercialization of quantum hardware products by identifying prospects, engaging technical and business stakeholders, preparing presentations and quotations, managing CRM pipelines, coordinating supplier registration and procurement processes, and overseeing custom orders through production and delivery. Serves as a technically credible liaison between customers and internal Product, Engineering, Production, Contracts, Finance, Quality, and Supply Chain teams.

Develop and own production software controlling and calibrating neutral-atom quantum computers. Build backend services, control frameworks, scientific data pipelines, CI/CD systems, and containerized deployments. Debug the full control stack from embedded kernels through distributed services, collaborate closely with physicists and hardware engineers, and create tooling for experiments, real-time image analysis, and object detection.

Qualify, assess, audit, and monitor suppliers for quality-system capability, technical competence, capacity, delivery, and risk. Manage supplier nonconformances, material review, root-cause analysis, CAPA, SCARs, quality plans, first-article inspections, traceability, and objective quality records. Interpret engineering documentation and ensure compliance with Government and defense contract requirements, including FAR Part 46. Collaborate with suppliers, procurement, engineering, manufacturing, program management, and customers.

Leads global software development and serves as technical lead for quantum sensing products. Develops and productizes React/Next.js frontends and Python FastAPI backends integrating with embedded hardware, Rust middleware, and device-control systems. Responsibilities include architecture, code reviews, testing, documentation, CI/CD, Jira and sprint management, team coordination, and transitioning prototypes into production-ready systems.

Design and integrate precision mechanical infrastructure for quantum gravity gradiometers deployed in laboratory, terrestrial, and space environments. Lead structural, thermal, vibration, shock, tolerance, and environmental analyses; integrate optical, electrical, vacuum, thermal, fiber, cable, and spacecraft interfaces; manage suppliers and product lifecycle reviews; support testing, risk resolution, reliability, and manufacturing readiness. Present technical decisions to customers and leadership while mentoring junior engineers.
