Quantum Integration Engineer

As a Quantum Integration Engineer, you ensure IQM quantum computers operate reliably across cloud, customer, and internal R&D environments. You work hands on with calibration, system stability, software updates, and incident resolution.

You collaborate closely with R&D teams, acting as an expert for our systems. You identify performance deviations, debug complex issues, and translate real system behavior into structured feedback that improves the next generation of our technology used for research worldwide.

Your work ensures that our quantum computers are not just built, but operational, stable, and scientifically usable.

What will I be doing?

• Operate and maintain IQM quantum computers across cloud, customer, and internal R&D environments, ensuring high availability and stable performance
• Plan and execute calibration and service activities aligned with customer and user needs
• Analyze system performance, identify deviations, and troubleshoot hardware and software issues affecting system behavior and stability
• Contribute to L2 incident resolution and technical support for customer systems
• Perform testing, debugging and calibration during customer system deliveries and commissioning
• Act as a key interface between production systems and R&D, providing structured technical feedback to improve performance, usability, and reliability
• Develop and refine service documentation, procedures, and laboratory best practices, Service (Including Delivery) Locations IQM Germany (Munich), IQM Finland (Espoo) Remote status Hybrid
