- Chain of Custody: Maintain an airtight, documented chain of custody for all sensitive or legally restricted hardware in strict accordance with instructions from the Legal and Security teams.
- Policy Enforcement: Strictly adhere to corporate security protocols and legal procedures regarding device handling, data privacy, and evidence preservation.
Basic IT Helpdesk Support
- First-Line Triage: Monitor incoming helpdesk tickets, Slack channels, or walk-up requests, providing basic technical assistance or routing complex issues to tier-2 engineers.
- Hardware Preparation: Perform basic provisioning tasks (e.g., enrolling devices via MDM, imaging laptops, running OS updates, and conducting initial hardware functionality checks).
- Peripherals & Conference Rooms: Troubleshoot basic workplace tech issues, including monitors, docking stations, keyboards, printers, and meeting room AV setups.
Requirements:
- Experience: 1–3 years of experience in IT asset management, warehouse inventory tracking, logistics, or an IT desktop support role.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
