ABOUT US
QuantWare is building the worldβs most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIOβ’ 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 donβt shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. Thatβs where you come in!
Our VIO technology uniquely enables the modular scaling of any superconducting qubit chip. We are working closely with leading quantum teams worldwide to scale their qubit technology.
We are now looking for a Lead System Integration Engineer to take ownership of the technical integration of VIO into our customersβ systems. In this role, you will act as the central technical interface between customers, internal engineering teams, and external suppliers. You will ensure that complex quantum systems can be successfully designed, integrated, and deployed at scale.
This is a highly cross-functional role at the intersection of systems engineering, product development, and customer collaboration, critical to enabling the next generation of large-scale quantum computers.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
Core Responsibilities
- Act as the central technical bridge between customers, internal VIO engineering teams, and external suppliers, translating complex customer system requirements into clear, actionable interface specifications.
- Own the VIO integration lifecycle: Drive the end-to-end process from planning to execution, guiding the physical integration of customer qubit chiplets into VIO modules and supporting seamless deployment into customer systems.
- Blueprint systems & source components: Develop system models for large-scale VIO-powered quantum computing systems to inform customer integrations. Collaborate with ecosystem partners to qualify and source compatible third-party components.
- Mitigate risks & scale operations: Proactively identify and flag integration bottlenecks early in the lifecycle and orchestrate cross-functional solutions. Continuously refine our integration frameworks so we can seamlessly support multiple customer deployments in parallel.
YOUR PROFILE
- Technical background: Deep technical expertise in RF/microwave engineering in a semiconductor context. Experience with cryogenic environments or advanced semiconductor packaging is a strong plus.
- Systems Engineering: Demonstrated experience in systems engineering, specifically in defining technical interfaces and translating intricate hardware specifications into actionable internal requirements. Proven ability to conceptualise and blueprint large-scale, complex hardware systems.
- Interpersonal skills: Great interpersonal and communication skills, backed by a proven ability to lead highly technical collaborations with specialised external engineering teams, partners, and internal stakeholders.
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:
