SalaryAbout Qilimanjaro
Who are we?
Quantum computing will change the world but with current approaches, the true impact of quantum computers lays at least a decade away. At Qilimanjaro, we plan to offer true quantum computational power to solve industry critical problems, specifically in the areas of optimization and quantum simulation, in a much shorter timeframe than other existing quantum computing approaches.
The Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech SL startup company is the quantum spin-off from the Barcelona Supercomputer Center (BSC), the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institute of High-Energy Physics (IFAE) that started operations in 2020 on the back of international customer, multi-year contracts.
Qilimanjaro has brought together a great team of scientists and engineers with extensive training, knowledge and experience in international labs at MIT, Caltech, Waterloo in Toronto, Stony Brook and TU Delft.
Our integrated hardware & software team develops superconducting qubit processors to focus on timely and affordable quantum advantage. We design next-generation analog quantum processorswith high-quality qubits which do not require quantum error correction and can therefore be faster-to-market in specific targeted applications.
We are looking for highly motivated candidates to join our permanent staff.
At Qilimanjaro, we work on superconducting-based quantum computers, both gate-based systems as well as our signature product, analog quantum processors.
Both project lines (gate-based systems and analog quantum processors) have multiple positions open. Your degrees and experience years will be counted into seniority.
Why don’t you join us?
You will:
- Get the opportunity to build something amazing and unique, something that hasn't been done before
- Work on ground-breaking projects and possibly solve massive challenges on a global scale
- Be at the intersection of research and industry, where biggest innovations happen
- Make an enormous impact in a dynamic scale-up rather than being a small cog in a big machine
- Work with super smart, knowledgeable and yet, very friendly people in Barcelona, one of the best cities in the world (picture a lot of sun, amazing food and friendly locals)
- Get to be part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default
We are looking for highly motivated candidates to join our permanent staff.
Job description:
At Qilimanjaro we work on superconducting-based quantum computers, both gate-based systems as well as our signature product, analog quantum processors.
- Development and standardization of fabrication routines to produce coherent analog QPUs, working in high-standard cleanrooms and cutting-edge instrumentation.
- Collaborate with partner companies and research institutes to advance the field of fabrication of superconducting qubit chips.
- Supervise the maintenance of the company’s own fabrication instrumentation.
- Contribute to the measurement and characterization of the fabricated devices to assess their quality.
- Share tasks and responsibilities and support the general work of Qilimanjaro’s technical team.
Minimum requirements:
- PhD, or an equivalent number of years of experience.
- Demonstrated a strong ability in Fabrication.
- Good command of English language (oral and written), including good reporting skills.
- Team-working, constructive attitude.
Any of the following skills will be highly valued:
- Long-term experience fabricating superconducting qubits.
- Usage of specific lithography tools: e-beam, metal deposition tools.
- Programming skills, particularly in Python.
- Previous leadership role/expereince.
- Electromagnetic simulation software (e.g., HFSS, CST, Maxwell, Sonnet).
Please mention in your application both availability dates and whether you would need an EU work permit to be arranged.
