Quantum Setup Integration Engineer
Description
Mission
Lead the end-to-end integration and deployment of advanced quantum systems, ensuring robust, scalable, and reliable operation from lab prototype to on-site installation.
You will bridge physics, engineering, and infrastructure, owning the full system integration lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
🔹 System Integration & Deployment
- Lead the integration of complex quantum hardware systems (cryogenic platforms, control electronics, RF/DC infrastructure, racks).
- Own system bring-up, validation, and performance verification.
- Develop structured debugging workflows across electrical, RF, thermal, and mechanical domains.
- Support and coordinate on-site deployments, including international travel when required.
- Contribute to system-level architecture decisions focused on scalability and maintainability.
- Support design and validation of cryogenic components, filtering chains, shielding, and interconnects.
- Perform simulations and analytical studies (thermal, electromagnetic, signal integrity) when needed.
- Define system requirements and acceptance criteria.
🔹 Infrastructure & Site Planning
- Conduct site readiness studies (power, cooling, space, safety, network).
- Develop system documentation: rack layouts, system diagrams, BOMs, integration plans.
- Participate in cost estimation and deployment planning.
🔹 Documentation & Operational Excellence
- Create structured integration procedures, debugging guides, and operational playbooks.
- Standardize processes to improve repeatability and scalability.
- Contribute to automation of testing and reporting workflows.
🔹 Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Act as the interface between physics, engineering, suppliers, and customers.
- Participate in design reviews with a system-integration perspective.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians.
Minimum requirements
Required
- MSc or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related field.
- Hands-on experience with complex laboratory systems (cryogenics, RF systems, superconducting devices, or similar high-tech platforms).
- Strong debugging and problem-solving mindset across multiple domains.
- Experience with measurement instrumentation (e.g., VNA, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes).
- Programming skills in Python or similar for automation and data analysis.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Nice to have
- Experience with quantum hardware or superconducting circuits.
- Background in multi-disciplinary system integration (electronics + thermal + mechanical).
- Experience deploying hardware outside the lab environment.
- Familiarity with simulation tools (COMSOL, HFSS, LTSpice, or similar).
- Experience working in fast-paced startup or deep-tech environments.
PhD is not required. Early-career candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Why This Role Is Unique
- Full system ownership: from integration to deployment.
- Exposure to cutting-edge quantum hardware.
- Direct impact on scalable quantum computing infrastructure.
- International collaboration and growth opportunities.
