## Job description

## About Us

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

QuantWare is seeking an Experimental Quantum Engineer to join our growing Operations team. The mission of QuantWare’s Operations team is to consistently deliver high quality quantum hardware and make advanced quantum technologies accessible to customers all over the world. Together with your colleague Experimental Quantum Engineers, you will be in charge of several state of the art cryogenic setups. You’ll use these setups to perform advanced qubit measurements and guarantee the quality of all devices before they are shipped to customers. Whenever you spot abnormalities, you’ll search for root causes and countermeasures, together with your colleagues from Fabrication or Design. Product volume and complexity of our products increase - so the challenge is to stay one step ahead by continuously improving our measurement setups, software and processes.

## What you will be doing

- Own QuantWare’s cryogenic measurement setups: purchase and build them, and keep them state-of-the-art (maintenance, upgrades).
- Manage the hands-on physical operation of cryogenic quantum hardware, working directly with the dilution refrigerators.
- Develop measurement code to implement and refine Python-based routines for device characterization.
- Characterize quantum chips to evaluate and improve the performance of superconducting qubits and amplifiers - to guarantee QuantWare’s customers receive perfect devices and to support new product development and research.

## Your Profile

- Education: master’s degree in physics or electrical engineering, preferably with a focus on quantum computing.
- Experience: Hands-on experience with programming, preferably Python.
- Knowledge: Experience with superconducting circuits and microwave measurement techniques is a plus, but not required.
- Skills: you are tech-savvy, learn fast and get things done: regardless if that means getting your hands dirty or deep in the python code. You enjoy solving problems and methodically improving our processes.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection.

What We Offer: At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a high-performing team of world-class experts in an ambitious, fast-moving environment. From day one, you’ll have the trust, tools, and support to do your best work. Here’s what you can expect: Competitive salary - A salary that reflects the impact and importance of the role (and of course 8% holiday allowance) Pension that’s built to last - A generous and future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage. Flexibility built on trust - We focus on outcomes. Work flexibly, in a hybrid setup, with an open vacation policy that lets you manage your time Personal growth - We invest in your L&D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know great candidates don't always follow a straight path, and we value diverse experience, perspectives, and ways of thinking. We know this helps us make better decisions, drives more innovation, and strengthens our culture.

As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
