Job summary

QuantWare is seeking a Junior Quantum Design Engineer to design and lay out superconducting circuit components for next‑generation quantum processors. You will run EM simulations, verify layouts, and help translate theoretical designs into production‑ready structures, collaborating across fabrication, measurement, and system integration teams.

You’ll work in a fast moving, multidisciplinary setting that values ownership, hands-on problem solving, and continuous learning.

Qualifications

• MSc in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field (PhD a plus).
• Understanding of microwave engineering, circuit theory, or superconducting devices.
• Experience with EM simulation tools (HFSS, Q3D, Sonnet) and layout tools (KLayout, Qiskit Metal).
• Python skills for design automation, simulation workflows, or data analysis.
• Detail‑oriented with structured design, verification, and documentation.
• Eagerness to learn and grow in a fast‑moving, multidisciplinary team.
• Familiarity with superconducting qubits or cleanroom fabrication is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and lay out superconducting circuit components and test structures.
• Perform EM and circuit simulations to predict device parameters.
• Contribute to design verification and layout reviews against fabrication constraints.
• Compare simulation results with measurements to validate models.
• Develop and maintain design tooling, scripts, and documentation.
