About us

Silicon Quantum Computing is pioneering the future of quantum technology. As the world’s first company to manufacture qubits with atomic precision, we’re delivering quantum advantage today, not decades from now.

Founded by Professor Michelle Simmons, one of the world’s leading materials scientists, SQC has achieved major breakthroughs including the first single-atom transistor and the first integrated circuit built with atomic precision. Our Chair, Simon Segars, former CEO of ARM, brings deep global experience as we scale our technology and commercial impact.

Our quantum machine learning chip, Watermelon, is already accelerating AI in ways classical systems can’t match. We’re generating significant revenue and working closely with multinational partners to solve complex problems with quantum solutions.

SQC is a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where people grow quickly and contribute meaningfully. If you’re excited by deep tech, ambitious about your career, and ready to help shape the future of computing, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

We are hiring a Quantum Integration Engineer to help scale SQC’s modular quantum processor architecture.

This role sits at the interface between superconducting microwave electronics, cryogenic hardware, and atomic scale qubit systems. You will contribute to the development of modular processors in which qubits are controlled using foundry fabricated superconducting microwave circuitry. Your focus will be the design and verification of the circuitry, before it can be integrated in high-performance quantum processors for validation.

In parallel, you will support the development of cryogenic hardware platforms capable of operating processors beyond 100 qubits. This includes implementing multiplexed architectures, including quantum limited amplification, that allow our control and readout systems to scale.

All developments will be tested through low noise electrical and microwave characterisation of superconducting circuits, followed by deployment into quantum processors where resonator mediated nuclear spin qubit readout and control protocols are demonstrated for validation.

You will work closely with fabrication, theory, cryogenics, and systems teams to ensure that integration pathways are robust, scalable, and aligned to product requirements. This role is for an engineer who can move between circuit design, cryogenic validation, and full system deployment, and who is motivated by turning superconducting microwave technology into scalable quantum hardware.

Role responsibilities

• Design and validate foundry fabricated superconducting microwave circuitry for qubit control and readout

• Develop scalable integration processes enabling high performance qubit operation within modular processor architectures

• Implement multiplexed microwave readout chains including quantum-limited amplification for systems exceeding 100 qubits

• Perform low noise electrical and microwave characterisation of superconducting circuits at cryogenic temperatures

• Deploy validated circuitry into quantum processors and demonstrate advanced resonator mediated nuclear spin readout and control protocols

• Collaborate with fabrication partners to optimise designs for manufacturability and performance

• Analyse experimental data and translate results into clear performance metrics against subsystem requirements

• Contribute to technical documentation, publications, and intellectual property generation where relevant

• Work across multidisciplinary teams to accelerate integration from component level to processor scale

Your experience

• Advanced degree in physics, electrical engineering, or a related field with strong experimental focus

• Deep expertise in superconducting microwave electronics

• Hands on experience with cryogenic measurement of superconducting or quantum devices

• Strong RF and microwave measurement capability, including use of signal generators, network analysers, spectrum analysers, and related instrumentation

• Experience working with foundry based fabrication processes and translating designs into manufacturable hardware

• Understanding of quantum control and readout architectures, ideally including resonator mediated systems

• Demonstrated ability to analyse complex experimental data sets and communicate results clearly

• Proficiency in scientific programming, such as Python, for measurement control and data analysis

• Ability to operate effectively in multidisciplinary engineering and research environments

The recruitment process

For roles at SQC, expect 3-4 interviews, meeting a few members of the team and focusing on your core eligibility for the role, your skills and how they align, and finally your values and how they align. We'll give you a more specific runthrough if you're successful in making it to the first interview.

As part of our obligations to our clients, we require that successful candidates submit to background checks, including a National Police Check, Right to Work checks, as well as employment and qualifications verification. We won't contact anyone until we're confident there's a fit between SQC and yourself.

How to apply

The best and simplest way is to apply directly here, rather than messaging anyone on the SQC team directly. If you have any questions that you'd like answered before committing to applying, please feel free to email us at careers@sqc.com.au.
