Junior to Middle Quantum Engineer, Readout
About this role
At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.
Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.
The work
We are looking for a junior to mid-level Quantum Engineer to contribute to the development of readout and reset techniques for superconducting quantum processors and to support our quantum error correction (QEC) efforts towards scalable quantum computing.
In this role, you will work closely with experienced engineers and researchers to support experiments, improve measurement performance, and help develop scalable solutions for quantum computing systems.
This position sits at the intersection of experimental physics, cryogenic microwave engineering, and software, offering strong opportunities for learning and growth.
What you'll actually doAssist in developing and testing readout and reset techniques for quantum processors
Support experiments on mid-circuit and terminal readout performance
Contribute to calibration routines and benchmarking workflows
Help implement and evaluate qubit reset protocols
Analyze experimental data and identify basic performance trends
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, fabrication)
Document results and present findings with guidance from senior team members
What we're looking for M.Sc. in Physics or a related field.
1-3 years of relevant experience (can include internships, thesis work, or academic projects)
Solid foundation in physics, engineering, or a related field
Basic understanding of quantum computing or superconducting circuits
Familiarity with experimental lab work or measurement systems
