About Us

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

As a Quantum Process Integration Lead (Front end of line), you’ll play a crucial role in developing our state of the art quantum processors and advanced multi-layer chip stack architecture. These components development aims to achieve best in class quantum chips which are in turn integrated in our VIO technology. You will define fabrication development projects, device specifications, design of experiments, and ensure seamless integration and optimisation of all technical components. Your work will be essential as we scale to increasingly complex systems and deliver on the promise of quantum computing.

What you'll be doing

• Plan and lead the development of front-end fabrication technologies, with a focus on enhancing the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of Josephson junctions, metallization, through-silicon vias, and other device components integrated into quantum processors.

• Develop and coordinate integration test plans in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

• Lead the definition and formalisation of chip development processes across the organisation.

• Establish scalable, well-documented integration procedures to support system growth.

• Investigate and resolve integration issues and technical anomalies, ensuring alignment with specifications and overall performance targets.

Your Profile

• 4+ years of experience in chip development of deep-tech or low-volume technology, preferably in quantum computing.

• Hands-on experience with process-flow development, and specifically EBL, metal and dielectric depositions and patterning, process control monitoring structures.

• A background in superconducting qubits is a significant plus.

• A background in quantum physics, microwave/RF/electrical engineering, or a related field (PhD is a plus)

What We Offer:

At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a high-performing team of world-class experts in an ambitious, fast-moving environment. From day one, you’ll have the trust, tools, and support to do your best work. Here’s what you can expect:

Competitive salary - A competitive monthly salary, plus an 8% annual holiday bonus paid out each May

Pension that’s built to last - A future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage. QuantWare covers 63% of the premium

Flexibility built on trust - We focus on outcomes. Work flexibly, in a hybrid setup, with an open vacation policy that lets you manage your time

Relocation support - If you’re moving to the Netherlands, we’ll make the transition seamless. We cover visa support, temporary housing in most cases, and help securing the expat tax benefit for eligible candidates.

Personal growth - We invest in your L&D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance

A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare

We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know this helps us with better decisions, more innovation, and strengthens our culture. In particular, we’d love to see more women in the quantum industry!

So if you’re a female talent, excited about this opportunity but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
