Staff Automation Engineer Internal Audit

IonQ is developing the world's most powerful full-stack quantum computer based on trapped-ion technology. We are pushing past the limits of classical physics and current supercomputing technology to unlock a new era of computing. Quantum computing has the potential to impact every area of human society for the better. IonQ's computers will soon redefine industries like medicine, materials science, finance, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptography, and more. IonQ is at the forefront of this technological revolution. The Process Engineer, Internal Audit is the architect of the modern audit function. This role is not about performing audits; it is about designing the systems that perform them. You will engineer, automate, and continuously optimize audit workflows by integrating Generative AI, agentic orchestration, and process engineering principles. Your goal is to move the department from "point-in-time" manual testing to a "continuous assurance" model that provides real-time risk insights.Responsibilities: 1. Audit Architecture & Process Re-Engineering Workflow Deconstruction: Analyze and map complex end-to-end audit processes (Risk Assessment through Issue Remediations) to identify "automation-first" opportunities. Lean Audit Design: Apply Lean/Six Sigma principles to eliminate "waste" in the audit lifecycle, such as manual data entry, redundant evidence requests, and administrative overhead. Scalable Solutions: Design standardized, modular workflow patterns that can be reused across Financial, IT, and Operational audit domains.2. AI Agent Orchestration & Prompt Engineering Intelligent Augmentation: Build and deploy AI-assisted workflows using Vellum AI, Copilot Studio, and Claude 3.5/4 to automate: Control
