Product Research Physicist (Neutral-Atom Quantum Control)

Location: Remote in the Netherlands, Delft

Company

hirify.global develops hybrid hardware and software control systems for quantum computers, scaling from individual qubits to large quantum computing systems.

What you will do

• Build and maintain an end-to-end understanding of neutral-atom control requirements across state preparation, gating, and readout.
• Characterize analog signal chains and real-time control flows for neutral-atom experiments.
• Define how control systems scale from a few qubits to large systems running quantum error correction.
• Translate physics and control insights into product requirements and reference architectures.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to shape and deliver control solutions.
• Validate solutions through modeling, simulation, experimental engagement, and benchmarking against real neutral-atom requirements.

Requirements

• PhD in quantum physics or a closely related field.
• At least 3 years of experimental quantum physics and/or quantum computing experience.
• Track record of excellent scientific achievements.
• Excellent oral and written English communication skills and presentation skills.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, independence, and discipline.
• Hands-on experience with neutral-atom systems is strongly preferred.

Culture & Benefits

• Remote work arrangement in the Netherlands.
• Collaboration with hardware, firmware, software, customer, partner, and research communities.
• Work on scalable quantum control systems and emerging quantum error-correction applications.
