Your responsibilities

• Develop and optimize quantum sensor concepts based on qubit systems and quantum effects.
• Perform advanced numerical simulations and modeling of qubit-based sensing systems, including relevant physical processes, noise sources and system-level performance.
• Work closely with technology development, engineering and experimental teams to translate simulation results into practical implementations.
• Analyze experimental data and use the results to refine physical models and sensor designs.
• Contribute to scientific publications, technical documentation and intellectual property.

Your profile

• PhD in physics, electrical engineering, applied physics, quantum engineering, or a related field.
• Background in quantum sensing, qubit control and precision measurement.
• Experience with numerical simulation, modeling and system design.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills combined with a practical, technology-oriented mindset.
• Strong motivation to work in close cooperation with technology, engineering and experimental teams.
• Fluency in English; knowledge of German is an advantage.

Advantageous experience

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be particularly valuable:

• Cleanroom/semiconductor/microfabrication experience.
• Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, COMSOL or equivalent.
• MEMS/NEMS or integrated sensor technologies.
• Precision measurement and low-noise instrumentation.
• Experience bridging qubit physics, device design and fabrication technology.
