Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior System Architect - **Company:** QuantWare - **Location:** Delft, Netherlands - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Job Scheduling, Python (Programming Language), Quantum Computing, Software Engineering, Systems Modeling Language, Systems Architecture, Digital Twin, High Performance Computing, Material UI, Slurm - **Published:** August 20, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.nl/details/5849706867 ## About the Role * Education: Master's or PhD in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Mechanical Engineering. * Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in complex systems engineering, system modeling, or multi-disciplinary hardware architecture. * System Modeling Expertise: Demonstrated experience with establishing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies in novel systems (SysML, Python-based digital twin frameworks, or custom MBSE tools). * Hardware Domain Expertise: Demonstrated experience with complex, high-CAPEX, multi-disciplinary systems involving chip-based architectures, Radio Frequency signal chains, temperature gradients, for example in Aerospace, Defense, HPC, or Semiconductor Equipment context. * Collaboration: You thrive in a collaborative environment and are comfortable taking ownership from day one. ## Description We are seeking a Senior Systems Architect to lead the system-level design frameworks and tooling that enable our Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) technology to be deployed across global Quantum Computing and High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures. In this role, you will own the development of parameterized Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, full-stack quantum computer blueprints, and standard component libraries. Acting as a key technical lead, you will work closely with system integrators, QPU roadmap teams, and supply chain partners to ensure optimised, deployment ready quantum system designs., * System Blueprinting & Co-Design: Architect parameterized full-stack quantum computer blueprints (covering QPU requirements, thermal budgets, RF signal paths, cryogenic systems, HPC integration, etc.). Work with partners to co-design systems around our QPUs. * MBSE Tool Development: Own the development and implementation of our Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tool, defining system modeling structure, logic, trade-offs. Collaborate closely with our Software Development teams on implementation. * Component Libraries: Build, curate, and maintain standardized component libraries aligning with system models. Identify supply chain trade-offs, interface requirements, risks, etc. Collaborate closely with supply chain management to ensure supply chain readiness. * HPC-Quantum Interfacing: Define and architect hardware-software control interfaces bridging classical HPC job schedulers (e.g., SLURM, Qaptiva) with the QPU calibration and control layer. * Ecosystem Alignment: Identify interface, cost, and timeline mismatches between our QPUs and required third-party system components, partnering with Ecosystem Managers to resolve gaps and ensure seamless integration for partner SIs. ## Related Videos - [AI in Regulated Industry - Validating AI-Enabled Products with PLM and Digital Twins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2065-ai-in-regulated-industry-validating-ai-enabled-products-with-plm-and-digital-twins) - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Building a component library for modern challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/650-building-a-component-library-for-modern-challenges) - [Schroedinger's cat: Thinking in- and outside the box of quantum mechanics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/216-schroedinger-s-cat-thinking-in-and-outside-the-box-of-quantum-mechanics) - [The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/393-the-billion-dollar-machine-first-time-right) - [Every CEO needs a digital twin to understand the scope of generative AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1006-every-ceo-needs-a-digital-twin-to-understand-the-scope-of-generative-ai) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
