Your Qualifications

PhD in physics, mathematics, computer science or equivalent with a focus on quantum optics/ quantum technology
In-depth knowledge of quantum technologies and (ideally) their industrial applications. In particular, quantum key distribution, quantum memories, quantum sensors, and entanglement as a resource in quantum networks
Ideally, system engineering experience in an industrial environment or at least a strong motivation to learn new methods
Experience in the design and implementation of secure and quantum communication systems for ground and space would be a plus
Strong solution oriented, self-managed and pro-active working style
Passion for technology and the motivation to turn ideas into reality
Hands-on experience in the lab in the context of technology development up to TRL 4, ideally in the context of QKD for space-based applications or free space optics
Ideally, experience in motivating and leading small teams in technical roles
Professional experience in the space industry or in space-related projects would be an advantage
