Description du poste

At planqc, we are building scalable quantum computers based on neutral atoms, one of the most promising platforms for achieving real-world quantum advantage. As a Quantum Integration Engineer , you will lead the assembly, integration, and commissioning of our quantum hardware systems, taking subsystems from design through to a stable, scalable, and fully operational whole . You will review subsystem requirements, ensure infrastructure readiness, and define the best practices that keep our systems reliable, well-documented, and ready to scale. Working at the intersection of electronics, mechanics, and systems engineering, you bring deep, hands-on expertise in one or more of the following areas: RF and quantum hardware control electronics, 19-inch rack integration, and industry standards for power distribution, cooling infrastructure, and system safety. In close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams across hardware, electronics, mechanics, and software, you will help translate complex subsystem designs into reliable, production-grade quantum computing systems. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy hands-on system integration, rigorous documentation, and solving complex cross-disciplinary problems.

What characterizes you

• You enjoy bringing complex systems together and taking them from design to reliable operation.
• You take ownership and drive integration topics from planning through to commissioning.
• You are structured, detail-oriented, and value thorough documentation.
• You thrive in interdisciplinary teams and communicate effectively across domains.
• You are motivated by turning cutting-edge subsystems into robust, real-world technology.

Joining us means

• Working on cutting-edge neutral atom quantum hardware
• Taking ownership of quantum systems from day one
• Collaborating with an exceptional, international team across disciplines
• Contributing to a fast-growing quantum startup at a pivotal stage

What you'll do

• 01 Lead the assembly, integration, and commissioning of quantum hardware systems, including reviewing subsystem requirements, ensuring infrastructure readiness, maintaining documentation throughout all stages of the process, and planning for scalable system operation.
• 02 Review and validate system designs, with a focus on subsystem interfaces and integration with external infrastructure.
• 03 Define and implement best practices for system assembly, component testing, and rack integration.
• 04 Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of complex issues across electronic, mechanical, and software domains.
• 05 Plan and manage infrastructure component inventory based on project scope and system requirements.

What they're looking for

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Several years of hands-on experience integrating, testing, or commissioning complex technical or scientific systems in a lab, industrial, or engineering environment.
• Proven experience reviewing and validating system designs, with a focus on subsystem interfaces and integration with external infrastructure.
• Ability to take ownership of complex technical systems and drive them forward independently.
• Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail.

Nice to have

• Programming experience (e.g. Python) for automation, testing, or documentation workflows.
• Experience with CAD tools for mechanical or rack layout planning.
• Experience transitioning research setups into more robust or scalable systems.
• Experience with quantum hardware or other complex experimental physics setups.
• Prior experience in an industrial or startup environment.

Pay and benefits

• Flexible working. Flexible hours and hybrid work where the role allows.
• Company pension. Betriebliche Altersvorsorge with an employer contribution.
• Health and fitness. EGYM Wellpass for gyms, pools and studios, plus regular Health Days.
• Job bike. Lease a bike through planqc.
• Learning and development. Trainings and conference participation, including international conferences. Plus regular internal learning sessions where colleagues share their knowledge.
• Relocation and visa support. Practical support for international hires and their move to Germany or Austria.
• Four locations. Headquarters in Garching, an office in central Munich, plus sites in Ulm and Innsbruck.
• Team culture. Regular team and company events throughout the year, from after work socials to our summer and Christmas parties.
