Junior Quantum Engineer (PhD candidate)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes. This position is part of QuBriC , the first European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network dedicated entirely to QEC. You will join an international cohort of doctoral researchers and collaborate with leading academic and industrial partners, including research visits at Chalmers (Gothenburg) and INRIA (Paris). Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat. The work . The PhD project focuses on successfully implementing and testing quantum error correction (QEC) protocols on hardware-efficient quantum processors (QPUs). You will have access to IQM's co-designed architecture QPU to benchmark QEC code efficiency on those QPUs. Joining our QEC Operations team, you will combine Python development, experiments on superconducting quantum processors, and data analysis to improve and demonstrate QEC performance. You will develop calibration procedures and fundamental operations such as qubit reset and leakage reduction units. Working with quantu
