Job details

Available positionQuantum System Validation Engineer / Physicist (permanent position, 40 hour per week) About Nord QuantiqueAt Nord Quantique, we strive to build impactful technology by relentlessly pushing our understanding of quantum science. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, innovators, builders, and enthusiasts on a mission to make quantum computing a reality. Our quantum processors are designed to reduce errors in quantum computation to facilitate long-term scaling toward fully-fledged quantum computers. We believe it is our responsibility to deliver this transformative technology for the greater good of society.Located at the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships region in the province of Quebec, Canada, we develop our technology in the vibrant quantum ecosystem of Sherbrooke. Leaning on more than a decade of vertical integration of quantum hardware, we are leveraging a comprehensive pool of quantum technology and micro-electronic infrastructure to deploy our quantum computing technologySalary : $105,000 ? $122,000 Benefits : 5 weeks of vacation, group insurance (including dental care), virtual care, lifestyle spending account (all available after 3 months of service)Contact: (819) 975-4654, career@nordquantique.caOur current needsAs part of the creation of the Engineering Department, Nord Quantique is building a new Quantum System Validation team responsible for validating that logical quantum performance is preserved as systems scale toward deployment-ready quantum computing platforms.We are seeking a highly motivated experimental physicist or engineer with experience in quantum systems, cryogenic experiments, and large-scale validation environments. Experience with superconducting quantum systems is an asset.The mission of this role is to execute and develop validation methodologies that characterize system-level performance, operational robustness, and long-term reliability of integrated quantum computing systems under realistic scaling constraints.More specifically, this individual will contribute to long-duration validation campaigns, characterize scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources, support system bring-up activities, and help establish the reliability foundations required for future utility-scale and deployment-ready quantum computing systems.Keys responsibilities:<ul><li>Define and execute system-level experimental validation campaigns</li><li>Characterize logical and physical performance under scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources</li><li>Perform long-duration stability and drift measurements</li><li>Support integrated system bring-up and operational robustness testing</li><li>Validate calibration workflows, boot-up sequencing, and hardware?software orchestration</li><li>Contribute to failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and reliability qualification activities</li><li>Develop automated validation and characterization workflows</li><li>Analyze experimental data and communicate findings to cross-functional engineering and research teams</li><li>Support development of deployment-readiness criteria, acceptance metrics, and performance-gating methodologies</li></ul>Education and experience requirements:<ul><li>PhD in electrical engineering, experimental physics, quantum engineering, systems engineering, or a related field</li><li>Relevant experience in quantum technologies, superconducting quantum hardware, or complex cryogenic experimental systems</li><li>Experience executing experimental campaigns in multidisciplinary environments</li></ul>Sought expertise and knowledge:<ul><li>Circuit QED and superconducting quantum syste
