Quantum Measurement Engineer
One of our clients, a leading quantum start-up in Munich, is looking for a Quantum Measurement Engineer who will build and operate cryogenic measurement platforms, develop calibration routines, and design experiments that quantify coherence, fidelity, crosstalk, and noise in superconducting circuits.
Working with the company’s novel, error-protected qubit architecture, you will not only apply standard characterization methods but also develop new gate protocols and calibration strategies tailored to these devices. Your work will provide critical feedback to design and fabrication.
You will establish robust, automated measurement workflows and acceptance tests, making device performance reproducible, comparable across runs, and scalable as the company grows.
Tasks
– Set up and operate cryogenic measurement systems for superconducting quantum circuits.
– Characterize qubits and resonators: measuring coherence times, gate fidelities, crosstalk, and noise spectra.
– Develop and implement new gate protocols and calibration methods
– Collaborate closely with design and fabrication teams
– Maintain and upgrade lab infrastructure, ensuring reliable and reproducible operation of measurement systems.
Experience
– MSc or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
– Hands-on experience with quantum measurement setups, cryogenics, or superconducting circuits
– Proficient in Python for experiment automation and data analysis
– Strong understanding of microwave electronics, RF signal chains, and cryogenic techniques
– Familiar with gate calibration methods and qubit control (preferred).
If this role sounds interesting and you have the required experience, please apply and we’ll be in touch soon to discuss.
