Quantum System Implementation Engineer

Описание

The Quantum System Implementation team at IQM builds world-leading quantum computers and works to move new quantum computer hardware from the lab toward production. This is a full-time, on-site role in Espoo, Finland.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, install and verify cryogenic and room-temperature RF cabling, attenuators, amplifiers, filters and coaxial assemblies
• Run RF measurements with VNAs, spectrum analysers and signal generators, then analyse the data and explain what it means for system performance
• Troubleshoot signal integrity, impedance mismatches and noise in measurement setups
• Support commissioning and performance testing of cryogenic systems used for RF and quantum device testing
• Work with scientists and senior engineers to improve measurement setups and validate new assemblies
• Own small engineering tasks and sub-projects, from planning and gathering information to execution and reporting
• Write clear assembly instructions and documentation so production teams can repeat your work
• Keep the lab safe and organised, and suggest practical improvements to designs and processes

Requirements

• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, RF Engineering, Physics, Quantum Technology or a related field, or equivalent experience
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience with RF systems in a lab, research or industry setting
• Solid understanding of RF fundamentals, including S-parameters, transmission lines, attenuation and amplification
• Practical experience with a VNA, spectrum analyser, signal generator and multimeter, including testing microwave components
• Hands-on assembly skills. You build your own setups, solder, and do precise wiring work, also in tight spaces
• Experience working in an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected area and following structured lab practices
• Strong documentation skills. You write instructions that someone else can follow and repeat
• You think critically and try to solve problems yourself first, and you know when to raise a flag and ask for guidance
• You learn fast, stay curious and take initiative, while following safety and process guidelines

Nice to have

• Experience with cryogenic systems, dilution refrigerators or high vacuum
• Experience with 4-wire measurements of low resistances
• Familiarity with lean practices such as 5S
• Experience from a quantum technology lab, in academia or industry
