$IONQ Hiring a Production Manager to "provide real-time build support during late-stage NPI and production runs."
Late-stage NPI (New Product Introduction) generally refers to the critical final phase of turning a product design into a mass-production-ready item for commercial launch.
Sounds like new 256 system is about to launch.

IonQ received final regulatory approval today to complete its $1.8B acquisition of SkyWater.
The companies expect to close Friday, July 31.
→ FTC Second Request issued April 24. Cleared in just over three months.
→ SkyWater becomes a wholly owned subsidiary, keeps the SkyWater name, keeps serving its full range of foundry customers
→ Combined Q2 earnings call August 5, after the close
→ Investor day September 8
Six months from signing to clearance, through a Second Request. The friction confirmed the strategic weight - and it did not change the outcome.
Friday, vertical integration stops being a plan.
