eleQtron develops and operates full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future.

We are looking for an HF Lab Engineer (m/f/d) to design, test, and optimize microwave and RF systems at the core of our trapped-ion quantum computing platform in Siegen.

Responsibilities:

As a HF Lab Engineer in the Electronic Engineering Team, you will play a key role in testing, validating, and integrating RF systems that support our next-generation quantum computing platforms. In this role, you will work closely with our international team of physicists and engineers to develop, characterize, debug, and optimize high-frequency hardware systems in advanced laboratory environments.

• Installation, testing, and debugging of high-speed digital, RF, and low-noise analogue hardware for quantum computer applications

• Support system operation during the validation and characterisation of our quantum computing platforms

• Collaborate closely with engineering and firmware teams to develop and integrate RF systems for next-generation quantum technologies

• Take ownership of developing new validation protocols and defining characterization standards

Required Skills:

• Bachelor’s or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, RF/Microwave Engineering, Physics, or a related field

• Hands-on experience with high-speed digital and RF hardware systems

• Strong understanding of RF systems, including RF measurements, debugging, and hardware validation

• Experience in installing, integrating, and validating RF and microwave hardware systems in laboratory environments

• Experience with laboratory equipment such as VNAs, spectrum analysers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators

• Excellent organisational skills

• Structured, analytical working style with strong ownership and execution focus
