Our current needs
As part of the creation of the Engineering Department, Nord Quantique is building a new Quantum System Validation team responsible for validating that logical quantum performance is preserved as systems scale toward deployment-ready quantum computing platforms.
We are seeking a highly motivated experimental physicist or engineer with experience in quantum systems, cryogenic experiments, and large-scale validation environments. Experience with superconducting quantum systems is an asset.
The mission of this role is to execute and develop validation methodologies that characterize system-level performance, operational robustness, and long-term reliability of integrated quantum computing systems under realistic scaling constraints.
More specifically, this individual will contribute to long-duration validation campaigns, characterize scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources, support system bring-up activities, and help establish the reliability foundations required for future utility-scale and deployment-ready quantum computing systems.
Keys responsibilities:
- Define and execute system-level experimental validation campaigns
- Characterize logical and physical performance under scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources
- Perform long-duration stability and drift measurements
- Support integrated system bring-up and operational robustness testing
- Validate calibration workflows, boot-up sequencing, and hardware–software orchestration
- Contribute to failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and reliability qualification activities
- Develop automated validation and characterization workflows
- Analyze experimental data and communicate findings to cross-functional engineering and research teams
- Support development of deployment-readiness criteria, acceptance metrics, and performance-gating methodologies
Education and experience requirements:
- PhD in electrical engineering, experimental physics, quantum engineering, systems engineering, or a related field
- Relevant experience in quantum technologies, superconducting quantum hardware, or complex cryogenic experimental systems
- Experience executing experimental campaigns in multidisciplinary environments
Sought expertise and knowledge:
- Circuit QED and superconducting quantum systems
- Cryogenic experimental systems
- RF, microwave, and pulsed measurements of superconducting quantum systems
- Experimental automation and calibration workflows
- Data analysis and statistical interpretation
- System-level validation and performance characterization
- Reliability engineering or long-duration stability testing, an asset
- Python programming and version control best practices, an asset
- Advanced level in English, to communicate with international team members
- Intermediate knowledge of French, an asset
Sought profile:
- Strong engineering mindset
- Strong experimental rigor and analytical thinking
- Systems-thinking mindset
- Team-oriented and collaborative
- Adaptable to evolving technical priorities
- Clear and concise technical communicator
- Comfortable operating in highly interdisciplinary environments
- Motivated by solving long-term scalability and reliability challenges in quantum computing
