At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.




THE WORK
You will lead the platform level view of the quantum control system, connecting what the system must do with how we will build it and when it will be ready. You will balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and schedule, and you will make sure the right people are working on the right problems at the right time. You will also play a central role in NPI readiness and supplier coordination so the control system can be transferred to production with confidence.




WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO
* Own the platform roadmap and priorities for the quantum control system, from near term delivery to longer term scalability


* Define and manage system level requirements and interfaces, and run the requirements setting process with stakeholders


* Align objectives and priorities with the Scalable Electronics team leader and other domain owners, and make trade offs visible and timely


* Coordinate delivery across R&D, production, quality, procurement, and project management to keep plans realistic and connected


* Lead supplier and partner coordination for the control system platform, including EMS and production side suppliers


* Ensure NPI readiness and production handover planning, including timelines, documentation needs, and cross team dependencies


* Drive technical decision making at platform level by reviewing implementation options and guiding architecture choices with experts


* Track progress, risks, and dependencies, and communicate status clearly to stakeholders and leadership


* Raise resourcing needs when required and make the final resourcing decisions together with the team lead based on platform priorities


* Improve platform level ways of working so development is structured, predictable, and easy to collaborate on






WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics, embedded systems, systems engineering, or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience


* Strong experience in platform ownership, systems engineering, product development, or technical program leadership for complex hardware systems


* Experience defining and managing requirements, interfaces, and architecture decisions across multiple teams


* Confidence making trade offs across performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and schedule, and bringing stakeholders along


* Experience coordinating external suppliers or partners and keeping delivery quality and timelines under control


* A structured, transparent way of working, including documentation discipline, risk management, and continuous improvement


* Clear communication skills and comfort working across functions in a fast moving environment






NICE TO HAVE
* Experience with precision control, measurement electronics, RF, fast digital, or mixed signal systems


* Experience with NPI, production handover, and scaling from lab development into repeatable manufacturing


* Familiarity with quantum computing hardware stacks or working in cryogenic or research adjacent environments






WHY IQM?
* Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
