Production and Test Engineer

Full TimeDelft, The NetherlandsQblox
YOUR MISSION

Qblox is looking for a production and test engineer to help us deliver control stacks for quantum computers. These quantum control stacks generate the analog signals needed for the control and readout of quantum bits. The signals have frequencies spanning the range from DC to the microwave regime (~20 GHz) and need to have extremely low noise, temperature drift and interference. To reach these analog properties as well as stringent timing criteria in quantum computing, signals are generated using high-end FPGAs connected to high-speed data converters. Furthermore, it is required that the control stack is scalable and can grow to accommodate larger quantum processors.

As a production and test engineer, it is your role to help assemble the systems and improve the processes around them. You will test the quality of the produced systems and help with the automation of these tests. This will require building test setups and writing test scripts to generate and analyse the results. You will be in control of installing and updating the latest software on the devices and help build a framework to automate this. Once good assembly and documentation are in place, you will help with outsourcing the production with one of our partners. Finally, you will investigate and repair RMA’s and come up with suggestions to improve the overall quality of our products based on this.

YOUR PROFILE
You have an engineering degree in MBO/HBO and are required to have at least 3 years of experience in a professional environment doing:

  • Hardware testing, debugging and verification
  • Experience with test and measurement equipment
  • Python
  • Quality assurance practices
  • PCB design (analog and digital) is a plus

Women are encouraged to apply for this position.

ABOUT US
With a dedicated team of scientists, engineers and developers we are pushing quantum technology to support experimentalists worldwide with our scalable and low-latency qubit control and readout equipment from ultrastable DC to 18.5 GHz for academic and industrial quantum labs. In addition to scalable control hardware, we have created state-of-the-art control software – Quantify,  an open-source python framework that can be used to control quantum computers and experimental setups.

Qblox is a young and fast-growing company with the mission to enable the quantum revolution. We are a spin-off from QuTech (a collaboration between Delft University of Technology and TNO) based in Delft, a historical city in The Netherlands located between The Hague and Rotterdam. You will join a highly-skilled and motivated team​. We are shaping the future and have a lot of fun while doing so!
