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.
Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.
We're growing and looking for an Equipment Engineer who's passionate about keeping cutting-edge tools running at their best. In this role, you'll take ownership of ramping up new equipment, driving tool reliability, and pushing performance to the limits, directly enabling our technology roadmap and production targets.
What will I be doing?
Full ownership of uptime for your assigned tools, including maintenance, troubleshooting, performance improvement, and equipment upgrades.
Prevent unexpected breakdowns by diligently executing preventive maintenance tasks.
Keep tools in top condition to eliminate potential safety issues and maintain high operational standards.
Drive continuous improvement of equipment performance in close coordination with Production, QPU Process, QPU Development, and Facilities teams.
Execute change control and deviation monitoring practices.
What skills do I need?
At least 2 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor equipment maintenance.
A hands-on mindset with genuine enthusiasm for learning, improving, and innovating.
Strong attention to detail, accuracy in work, and excellent documentation skills.
A collaborative team player with good technical communication skills.
Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.
Never the smartest: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.
Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!
The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.
Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.
