Mid-Senior Hardware Systems Engineer (R & D)- Quantum Register: Massy, France, 4 days onsite / 1 day remote per week or full onsite based on preference, Full time

PASQAL is building and developing Quantum Processing Units (QPU) that enable highly performant computation using neutral atoms manipulated with lasers. We have partnerships with key users in fields such as energy, IT, finance, drug and chemical design, and automotive. The maturity and potential of our technology and the quality of our scientific team has been rewarded several times at French, European and global levels. On the hardware level, hard challenges make this journey unique and interesting.

Due to growth, we are adding a Mid-Senior Systems Engineer to support ongoing improvements with our Quantum Register. The Quantum Register team pushes the limits of the performance of the QPU’s register enabling scalability and high repetition rate. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced engineer to join this team. You will have a key role at PASQAL developing ideas and innovating in a growing industry.

  Based on more than 40 years of academic research, co-founded by one of the 2022 Nobel prize laureates in Physics, PASQAL is on track to deliver to market a 1000-qubit quantum processor with smaller processors that can operate at room temperature and with lower energy consumption. These innovative processors address applications which are out of the reach of the most powerful existing supercomputers, encompassing real-world challenges as well as fundamental science. As they are very low energy intensive, they will significantly contribute to reduce the carbon footprint of the computing industry. This makes PASQAL one of the key world-class players in this quantum race. Will you join us?
  
  Right to work in France without sponsorship is preferred.
