In this role, you help turn complex hardware into reliable, measurable systems. You work side by side with Production and R&D teams to support smooth system deliveries, improve measurement setups, and build practical upgrades into everyday lab work. You will learn fast, take ownership of well scoped engineering tasks, and contribute to performance improvements that make our quantum systems more stable and easier to operate.

What will I be doing?

• Support commissioning and performance evaluation of cryogenic systems used for RF and quantum device testing

• Perform RF measurements, analyse data, and contribute to interpretation of system performance

• Install, test, and verify cryogenic and room temperature RF cabling, attenuators, amplifiers, filters, and coaxial assemblies

• Troubleshoot RF signal integrity, impedance mismatches, and noise related issues in measurement setups

• Take ownership of small engineering tasks or sub projects, including planning, execution, documentation, and reporting

• Coordinate with scientists and senior engineers to develop improved measurement setups

• Maintain a safe, organized lab environment and follow proper handling of sensitive equipment

• Participate in continuous improvement by proposing practical design or process enhancements

• Work collaboratively with Production and R and D to support reliable deliveries and feedback loops that improve future builds
  

What skills do I need?

• BSc or MSc in electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, telecommunications, or a closely related field

• Solid understanding of RF fundamentals including S parameters, transmission lines, attenuation, and amplification

• Experience with RF test equipment such as VNA, spectrum analyzer, and signal generators

• Ability to interpret measurement data, spot anomalies, and communicate findings clearly to different audiences

• Hands on ability for precision assembly, wiring, and careful lab work with sensitive equipment

• Comfort working in tight spaces during installations and routing cabling cleanly and safely

• A structured way of working with good documentation habits

• A collaborative mindset and willingness to ask questions, learn, and improve how things are done

What skills are nice to have?

• Basic understanding of cryogenics and vacuum systems

• Experience with low noise measurement practices and signal integrity work

• Familiarity with calibration workflows and measurement automation

• Any prior lab experience in RF, microwave, or cryogenic environments from studies, projects, or internships

What can I expect from IQM?

• At IQM, you can expect to contribute to groundbreaking projects that shape the future of quantum computing. Your work on calibration automation software is mission-critical: the frameworks you build and scale directly enable the calibration and operation of increasingly large quantum processors, from today’s systems to future architectures.

• You will thrive in a creative and open start-up environment that values technical excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement. IQM encourages engineers to take responsibility for meaningful parts of the system, influence technical direction, and continuously refine performance, usability, testing, and documentation. Learning and innovation are part of everyday work, supported by close collaboration with highly skilled quantum engineers and scientists.

• We offer a highly international and fast-paced environment where collaboration across disciplines and cultures is essential. You’ll work closely with calibration engineers, software teams, and R&D groups across locations, contributing to shared solutions and ensuring that complex systems work seamlessly together.

• As a rapidly growing organization, you have the opportunity to play a significant role in our exciting success story. Your contributions will have visible impact as the company scales its technology and software platforms. Senior engineers are not just implementers. They are trusted partners in building the foundations of a global quantum computing leader.
