Mid level Quantum Hardware engineer - Quantum Register : Massy, France, 4 days onsite / 1 day remote per week or full onsite based on preference, Full time
PASQAL is building and developing Quantum Processing Units (QPU) that enable highly performant computation using neutral atoms manipulated with lasers. We have partnerships with key users in fields such as energy, IT, finance, drug and chemical design, and automotive. The maturity and potential of our technology and the quality of our scientific team has been rewarded several times at French, European and global levels. On the hardware level, hard challenges make this journey unique and interesting.
Due to growth, we are adding a Mid level Quantum Hardware engineer to support ongoing improvements with our Quantum Register. The Quantum Register team pushes the limits of the performance of the QPU’s register enabling scalability and high repetition rate. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced engineer to join this team. You will have a key role at PASQAL developing ideas and innovating in a growing industry.
Main responsibilities:
- Lead technical developments on the hardware aspect of the quantum register of PASQAL’s QPU (R & D).
- Develop small mathematical and physics models and simulations.
- Collaborate closely with other teams in the hardware department.
- Documentation: prepare detailed and comprehensive test plan and reports on the outcome of the technical development.
- Communicating scientific results between, within and outside the team.
- Supervision of junior engineers and master students.

- Data Analysis: Analyze data, review papers and present results to team
To be successful in this role, you will have the following experience:
Education: PhD & 1+ years professional experience (experimental) OR Masters 2 degree + 2-3+ years industry experience. AMO / Laser related fields preferred.
Hard skills: - In-depth knowledge in experimental physics (Atom-light interactions, AMO, quantum computing)
- Strong interest for experimental physics and mathematical/physics models.
- Programming skills for data analysis and simulations (Python, ...).
- Versioning control is a plus (git tools)
- Experience in managing small-scale projects (project Management).
- AMO, Laser and/or Quantum Industry experience highly desired

Based on more than 40 years of academic research, co-founded by one of the 2022 Nobel prize laureates in Physics, PASQAL is on track to deliver to market a 1000-qubit quantum processor with smaller processors that can operate at room temperature and with lower energy consumption. These innovative processors address applications which are out of the reach of the most powerful existing supercomputers, encompassing real-world challenges as well as fundamental science. As they are very low energy intensive, they will significantly contribute to reduce the carbon footprint of the computing industry. This makes PASQAL one of the key world-class players in this quantum race. Will you join us?
Right to work in France without sponsorship is preferred.
