The posting

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The work

We are seeking a passionate Quantum Engineer, (Junior to Senior level) to join our Gates team in Espoo, Finland, or Munich, Germany. We are looking for candidates with a strong understanding of quantum gate control, a hands-on approach to problem-solving, and a proactive mindset. You’ll be at the forefront of research and development on quantum gate implementations for our superconducting quantum processors.

What you’ll actually do

  • Developing and refining single- and two-qubit gates.
  • Creating calibration and characterization routines.
  • Analyzing gate fidelities and addressing their physical limitations.
  • Collaborating across design, fabrication, software, theory, and other experimental teams to boost QPU performance.
  • Contributing to efforts toward full quantum error correction.
  • (Senior level) Mentoring junior team members and leading initiatives in technical focus areas.

What we’re looking for

  • Junior Quantum Engineer — M.Sc. degree in Physics, Quantum Engineering, or a related field.
  • Quantum Engineer—Ph.D. degree in physics or a related discipline, or alternatively equivalent experience in quantum technologies.
  • Senior Quantum Engineer — Postdoctoral or equivalent industrial experience in quantum technologies.
  • Proven knowledge of gate-based quantum computation.
  • Experimental experience with superconducting quantum bits or similar modalities.
  • Python development experience (ideally in a quantum control framework).
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
  • Independent problem-solving abilities and drive to contribute to large-scale R&D.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Prior work on randomized benchmarking or other gate fidelity characterization methods.
  • Experience with version control and collaborative software development.
  • Background in calibration automation or quantum processor benchmarking.
  • Experience with cryogenic hardware and technologies.
  • For experienced engineers—Strong publication record in superconducting quantum computing, quantum gate control and characterization, or a related field.

Why IQM?

  • Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
  • High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.
  • Never the smartest: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.
  • Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!
  • The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.
  • Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.

The future of computing won’t build itself. You might be one of the few who do.

  • Explore our scientific publications.

We'll start interviews and move forward with hiring as soon as we meet strong candidates. Please submit your application soon.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
