Quantum Engineer - Cryogenic Systems (relocation to Australia included) Full relocation package and visa sponsorship on the table for a Quantum Engineer to join a leading Australian quantum computing company. This role would suit an early-career engineer or physicist looking to move to Australia for the right opportunity. About the companyAn Australian full-stack quantum computing company with commercially deployed products in market today, backed by significant institutional investment and decades of technological work. Not a research project - a commercial business shipping product and generating revenue, with in-house chip manufacturing that turns new quantum chips around in under a week. About the roleYou'll develop and validate the cryogenic infrastructure that connects silicon quantum processors to the classical world. As the processors scale, the wiring, interconnects, and quantum-classical interfaces inside the dilution refrigerators become as critical as the qubits themselves. Careful, hands-on laboratory work building the infrastructure that makes large-scale quantum computing possible. Your work will includeTesting and validating cryogenic wiring, attenuation stacks, interconnects, and connector solutions (in-house and third-party)Developing and executing cross-talk testing protocols for high-density cryogenic signal deliveryAssessing how cryogenic components affect qubit performance - noise, thermalisation, warming effectsOperating and maintaining dilution refrigerator systems, contributing to their monitoring and reliabilityDeveloping and maintaining test and data analysis code, documenting rigorously against defined requirementsCollaborating with hardware engineering and measurement teams on quantum-classical interfaces and fridge configurationsMaintaining specialised laboratory and RF equipment EssentialBachelor's, Honours, or Master's in physics, electrical engineering, quantum engineering, or a related disciplineHands-on laboratory experience in cryogenics, RF/microwave test and measurement, or low-temperature physicsProficiency in PythonHighly organised, detail-oriented, and rigorous in testing and documentationExcellent communication across diverse audiencesEffective in multidisciplinary teams with shared ownership of outcomes DesirablePhD in physics, electrical engineering, quantum engineering, or a related disciplineHands-on experience setting up and operating dilution refrigerator systemsStrong background in RF measurement techniques and signal integrityExperience measuring qubits or other cryogenic quantum devicesFamiliarity with cryogenic wiring, attenuation, and filtering design for quantum computing systems Location, relocation, and processAustralia. Full-time, on-site. Visa sponsorship and full relocation package included. 3–4 interview stages covering role fit, technical depth, and values alignment. Background and Right to Work checks are part of the process. This position may involve export-controlled information - eligibility subject to relevant citizenship/residency considerations.
