The posting

Your mission

At planqc, we are building scalable quantum computers based on neutral atoms, one of the most promising platforms for achieving real-world quantum advantage.

As a Quantum Integration Engineer, you will lead the assembly, integration, and commissioning of our quantum hardware systems, taking subsystems from design through to a stable, scalable, and fully operational whole. You will review subsystem requirements, ensure infrastructure readiness, and define the best practices that keep our systems reliable, well-documented, and ready to scale.

Working at the intersection of electronics, mechanics, and systems engineering, you bring deep, hands-on expertise in one or more of the following areas: RF and quantum hardware control electronics, 19-inch rack integration, and industry standards for power distribution, cooling infrastructure, and system safety. In close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams across hardware, electronics, mechanics, and software, you will help translate complex subsystem designs into reliable, production-grade quantum computing systems.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy hands-on system integration, rigorous documentation, and solving complex cross-disciplinary problems.

Your responsibilities

  • Lead the assembly, integration, and commissioning of quantum hardware systems, including reviewing subsystem requirements, ensuring infrastructure readiness, maintaining documentation throughout all stages of the process, and planning for scalable system operation.
  • Review and validate system designs, with a focus on subsystem interfaces and integration with external infrastructure.
  • Define and implement best practices for system assembly, component testing, and rack integration.
  • Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of complex issues across electronic, mechanical, and software domains.
  • Plan and manage infrastructure component inventory based on project scope and system requirements.

What you bring

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Several years of hands-on experience integrating, testing, or commissioning complex technical or scientific systems in a lab, industrial, or engineering environment.
  • Proven experience reviewing and validating system designs, with a focus on subsystem interfaces and integration with external infrastructure.
  • Expertise in one or more of the following areas:Quantum hardware control systems, including RF amplifiers, arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs), photodetectors (PDs), analog and digital electronics, signal distribution, timing, and synchronization architectures. 19-inch rack integration, including equipment installation, wiring, cable management, power distribution, grounding, cooling, labeling, and maintainable system layouts. Industry standards and best practices related to power distribution, control systems, water-cooling infrastructure, CE conformity requirements, and electrical safety."
  • Ability to take ownership of complex technical systems and drive them forward independently.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail.

Nice to have

  • Programming experience (e.g. Python) for automation, testing, or documentation workflows.
  • Experience with CAD tools for mechanical or rack layout planning.
  • Experience transitioning research setups into more robust or scalable systems.
  • Experience with quantum hardware or other complex experimental physics setups.
  • Prior experience in an industrial or startup environment.

What characterizes you

  • You enjoy bringing complex systems together and taking them from design to reliable operation.
  • You take ownership and drive integration topics from planning through to commissioning.
  • You are structured, detail-oriented, and value thorough documentation.
  • You thrive in interdisciplinary teams and communicate effectively across domains.
  • You are motivated by turning cutting-edge subsystems into robust, real-world technology.

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.
