Job description

QphoX is looking for a Quantum Application Engineer to help push our microwave-to-optics conversion technology and its application to quantum computing to the next level. In this role, you will be part of a team focusing on the development of optical interconnects for control, readout and networking of quantum processors. As a Quantum Application Engineer, you will define and articulate the performance requirements of our products, develop experiments to quantify these requirements and demonstrate the performance of our technology both internally as well as with external partners and customers.

You will be involved in:

Research and development of microwave-to-optics transducer technology
Development of optical signal delivery systems for high fidelity qubit control
Planning and executing experiments to demonstrate the performance and practicality of our products, including joint demonstrations with external partners, collaborators, and customers
Analyzing, summarizing, and presenting experimental results through reports, presentations, and technical discussions
Collaborating closely within a diverse, multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers

Skills and knowledge you will bring to QphoX:

A master’s (WO) in (applied) physics, photonics or a related subject
2+ years of industry or applied research experience in one or more of the following: superconducting circuits, photonics, telecommunications, test and measurement or a related subject
Proficiency in Python for instrumentation, data acquisition and data analysis
The ability to work collaboratively with inter-disciplinary teams
An organized and rigorous working style

Our Ideal Candidate:

Our ideal candidate is a passionate, hands-on experimentalist who enjoys translating technology from the lab into real-world applications. They are eager to contribute across the full journey from experiment to product — from early‑stage technical development through deployment with customers, from drafting concepts to presenting results.

Teamwork is an essential value of our company, hence fitting into the team is crucial. Finally, they would have to feel positive working in a fast‑paced learning environment.

We strongly encourage people of any underrepresented group to apply as we are committed to diversity and work to build an inclusive environment where all people, regardless of gender, race, religion, or background, can thrive.
