The posting

At Universal Quantum, we aim to make the world a better place by engineering the future of computing. Together, we are creating truly impactful quantum computers. Our machines will be capable of solving problems until now considered impossible, with applications ranging across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, materials and aerospace. We are seeking to hire a Quantum Operator (f/m/d) to operate our quantum processors. Passionate about helping create technologies which can change the world? We may be the right place for you, so get in touch!

What You’ll Accomplish

  • Operate, monitor, and maintain ion-trap quantum computing hardware and experimental systems.
  • Perform calibration, optimisation, and characterisation of quantum hardware, control systems, and experimental procedures using established methods.
  • Support the development, integration, and testing of new quantum hardware and experimental systems, working closely with physicists and engineering teams.
  • Collect, analyse, and report experimental data to support system performance and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure reliable and repeatable operation through careful attention to detail, hands-on problem solving, and following established procedures.

Requirements

The Three Most Critical Attributes We’ll Use to Compare Candidates:

  1. Strong hands-on experience with quantum control experiments: Experience operating and troubleshooting AMO-based quantum systems (e.g., trapped ions, neutral atoms, or related platforms), with practical exposure to key experimental tasks such as laser cooling, state preparation, quantum control, and measurement.
  2. High reliability and attention to detail: Ability to follow experimental procedures carefully, perform repeatable calibrations and measurements, identify abnormal system behaviour, and maintain accurate records.
  3. Strong teamwork and practical problem-solving: Ability to work closely with physicists and engineers to operate systems, support hardware integration and testing, and solve experimental issues efficiently.

Must-have:

  • Master’s degree in AMO physics plus at least 2 years of relevant hands-on experimental experience in a laboratory setting.
  • Experience with experimental quantum technologies, preferably involving ion-trap or neutral-atom systems, or other optical-based quantum systems.
  • Practical experience with one or more of the following: laser and optical systems, RF/microwave control, vacuum systems, or high-precision imaging.
  • Understanding of quantum control, state preparation, measurement, and experimental calibration.
  • Good data analysis skills and experience using Python or similar programming tools.
  • Ability to follow, improve, and document experimental procedures for reliable system operation.
  • Collaborative mindset, with the ability to work effectively across physics and engineering teams to solve technical problems.

Nice-to-have:

  • PhD in physics, quantum technologies, AMO physics, or a closely related field.
  • Experience working with surface ion traps.
  • Experience with high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems, including vacuum chambers, ion pumps, and bakeout procedures.
  • Experience with automated experimental control, calibration, or measurement systems.
  • Experience with hardware integration, system testing, or commissioning of new experimental equipment.
  • Familiarity with Git, data management, or laboratory automation tools.

Please feel encouraged to apply even if you don't match all the requirements of our job description. We would love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match.

Benefits

Competitive salary, equity options, flexible paid holiday allowance, direct insurance pension with 50% employer contributions, group life insurance, job ticket/Deutschlandticket, supplemental health insurance, personal development budget and a relocation allowance.

We are committed to nurturing diversity and inclusion At Universal Quantum, we’re passionate about working with and for all kinds of minds. We are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, and we hold ourselves accountable through continuous improvement, transparency, and the way we design our hiring and working practices. We welcome team members from all backgrounds and actively work to ensure everyone can flourish.

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.
