About the quantum processor measurement work
- Run DC, RF and microwave measurements on test structures and quantum processors, at room and cryogenic temperatures
- Collect, process and document measurement data for fabrication, device design and integration projects
- Help run and maintain cryogenic systems, microwave instruments and automated test set-ups
- Give the R&D team fast experimental feedback at each stage of development
- Track down anomalies, wiring faults, noise sources and set-up problems
Why this role matters
A quantum processor is only as good as the data that shows what went wrong in the last batch. This role produces that data. It is a good first industry step for a physicist or engineer with cryostat and microwave lab experience.
What QuantWare is looking for
- A BSc or MSc in physics, electrical engineering or a related field
- Hands-on use of electrical and RF lab equipment, such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and signal generators
- Experience with cryogenic measurement set-ups, from industry or a university
- Strong interest in lab work, test automation and data acquisition
- Basic Python for data processing, analysis or instrument control
- Careful, methodical testing habits
Nice to have
- A PhD
- Familiarity with superconducting qubits, low-temperature physics or microwave engineering
Pay and location
The posting does not give a salary figure. It mentions a competitive salary, an 8% holiday allowance, a pension plan and a learning budget. The board lists the role as on site in Delft, while the text says staff work flexibly in a hybrid set-up. Candidates may need to pass pre-employment screening. The posting says nothing about visas.
How to apply
Apply through the official QuantWare job posting. QuantWare’s posting does not give a closing date, so the role is open until filled; ResearchJobs.in will re-check this listing on 13 November 2026. Check the posting for location and work-authorisation details before you apply.
