About Us QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

As a System Engineer , you’ll play a crucial role in bringing together our subsystems into coherent, high-performing quantum hardware. You will define system specifications, lead validation efforts, and ensure seamless integration and optimisation of all technical components. Your work will be essential as we scale to increasingly complex systems and deliver on the promise of quantum computing.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan and manage the integration of cutting-edge scaling technologies developed by our R&D teams into next-generation quantum processors
• Develop and coordinate integration test plans with cross-functional teams
• Lead the definition and formalisation of system engineering processes across the organisation
• Establish scalable, documented integration procedures to support system growth
• Investigate and resolve integration issues and technical anomalies, ensuring alignment with specifications and overall performance targets

Your Profile

• 4+ years of experience in system engineering for deep-tech or low-volume hardware
• Hands-on experience with systems exposed to extreme temperature environments (e.g., aerospace, cryogenics, telecommunications, defense)
• Familiarity with superconducting technologies
• A background in quantum physics, microwave/RF/electrical engineering, or a related field (PhD is a plus)
• Experience with electromagnetism, semiconductor/superconductor chips, or MEMS

What We Offer At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a high-performing team of world-class experts in an ambitious, fast-moving environment. From day one, you’ll have the trust, tools, and support to do your best work. Here’s what you can expect:

Competitive salary - A competitive monthly salary, plus an 8% annual holiday bonus paid out each May

Pension that’s built to last - A future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage. QuantWare covers 63% of the premium

Flexibility built on trust – We focus on outcomes, not hours. You’re trusted to manage your time and energy responsibly, in a hybrid setup with an open vacation policy—because with freedom comes ownership

Relocation support - If you’re moving to the Netherlands, we’ll make the transition seamless. We cover visa support, temporary housing in most cases, and help securing the 30% tax benefit for eligible candidates.

Personal growth - We invest in your L&D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance

A focus on well-being - We support your physical and mental energy through wellness initiatives that help you recharge and stay sharp

A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer

Financial clarity - Through our partnership with Equip, you’ll get tools and expert guidance to help you understand and optimise your total compensation

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know this helps us with better decisions, more innovation, and strengthens our culture. In particular, we’d love to see more women in the quantum industry!

So if you’re a female talent, excited about this opportunity but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
