Technology Scout Quantum Computing

Zurich Instruments is a technology leader in advanced test and measurement instruments and in control electronics for quantum computing. We help advance science and build the next generation of quantum computers.

In this role you support our advance development to push the envelope for scaling quantum computing control systems. Together with our experts you identify relevant technologies and partners and harden proposals for future solutions based on technical feasibility, risk and commercial evaluations.

We offer a diverse work environment with an open and transparent company culture where personal development forms the basis of our success. We thrive on cooperation and support distributed decision-making that allows everyone to take responsibility and generate substantial impact from the start and on many levels.

Now is a great time to join the team.

We look forward to receiving your resume and motivation letter.

Your responsibilities

• Extend the technological base to grow our position on quantum computing control electronics.
• Strengthen our technology roadmap for scaling quantum computing, with a focus on 10x improvements over current state of the art products.
• Contribute to collaborations with technology partners.
• Evaluate technologies in theory and simulation as well as by executing practical validations of prototypes.
• Seamlessly collaborate with all internal stakeholders such as application scientists, key account management, product management, R&D and operations.

Your profile

• PhD in EE or Physics or equivalent background and experience
• Strong experience in quantum computing control electronics
• Wide understanding of the relevant technological trends
• Good communicator, eager to learn and to share knowledge
• Ability to efficiently go “beyond the surface” of technologies and to discriminate according to relevance
• Experience with simulation and modelling, ideally including quantum simulations with QuTiP or similar.
