The posting

IQM is a global leader in superconducting quantum computing. We design and build full-stack quantum computers and provide both on-premises systems and cloud access to our technology worldwide. Our customers include leading high-performance computing centers, research institutions, universities, and enterprises who rely on IQM’s integrated hardware and software solutions. Today, IQM has over 300 employees across offices in Finland, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and the US.

(www.meetiqm.com).

At IQM, we are pioneering the next generation of quantum computers. Our experimental and theoretical teams work hand-in-hand, allowing us to extract maximum value from our unique, large-scale quantum hardware.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Quantum Error Correction Experimentation Engineer to join our QEC team. In this role, you will contribute to the implementation, execution, and analysis of quantum error correction (QEC) experiments on superconducting quantum processors.

Your work will help demonstrate and improve QEC capabilities on real hardware and directly support IQM’s roadmap toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing.

This role combines experimental quantum computing, error modelling, and software development, offering the opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum hardware and software while contributing to key technical decisions that shape the future of our quantum computers.

What will you be doing?

  • Implement, execute, analyse, and report results of quantum error correction benchmark and demonstration experiments on superconducting quantum processors
  • Develop features for the Quantum Computer Control Software stack in collaboration with quantum physicists and software engineers
  • Contribute to the development and evaluation of QEC protocols and decoding approaches for near-term quantum processors
  • Model and analyse error processes in quantum circuits and hardware experiments
  • Identify technology stack requirements for QEC experimentation and propose improvements to tools and workflows
  • Collaborate closely with experimental, theoretical, and software teams to support IQM’s fault-tolerant quantum computing roadmap
  • Participate in regular team discussions to coordinate experiments, analyse results, and drive progress in QEC development

What skills do you need?

  • Experience calibrating qubits and QPUs (superconducting preferred), beyond running gate-level workloads on cloud quantum computers
  • Experience with quantum error correction experiments and data analysis, with familiarity with QEC literature
  • Software engineering experience in Python, including environment management, testing, documentation, and version control
  • Understanding of quantum information and QEC theory, including decoding algorithms and lattice-surgery-based approaches
  • Experience with tools for modelling errors in quantum circuits or physical quantum hardware
  • Familiarity with digital and analog features of quantum computer control hardware
  • Experience working with large-scale quantum processor experiments or similarly complex experimental systems

Required skills

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Ability to make work reproducible and usable for others through well-structured code and documentation
  • Ability and willingness to collaborate in a diverse, multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and software developers

Education / Experience

  • PhD in a relevant discipline is considered a strong plus
  • Experience in experimental quantum computing research or development is highly beneficial

What can I expect from IQM?

  • An opportunity to work with a passionate and diverse team on an important mission
  • A unique opportunity to make a real impact on the future of quantum
  • Growth and progress in a creative and open start-up environment

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.
