Senior Electrical Engineer – RF/Microwave

About the role

You will play a key role in designing, developing, and testing our next-generation of cryogenic microwave components that will enable the quantum computers of tomorrow. No prior experience in quantum physics is required.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize microwave components using electromagnetic simulation tools such as ANSYS HFSS
• Collaborate closely with the fabrication team to validate designs and continuously refine product performance
• Design and develop test fixtures and measurement setups to evaluate the performance of our microwave components throughout production
• Analyze, document, and communicate validation results, and support the successful ramp-up of manufacturing and production

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, along with relevant industry or research experience
• Strong background in microwave engineering, including electromagnetic simulation (ANSYS HFSS), RF PCB design, and RF characterization using tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs)
• Industry experience in developing products for manufacturing and supporting production or production ramp-up
• A collaborative, organized, and adaptable working style, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset

Skills

• Experience designing hardware for low-temperature environments and a basic understanding of cryogenic systems
• Familiarity with mechanical CAD tools such as Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks for the design of fixtures and mechanical components
• A self-driven, independent work style with the ability to take ownership of projects and deliver results with minimal supervision

Benefits

• The opportunity to shape the future of quantum hardware at a leading Swiss startup
• A fast-moving, collaborative environment where your work has immediate impact
• A culture built on creativity, ownership, and technical excellence
• Location in central Zurich, one of the world’s most vibrant cities
• Competitive salary, benefits, and potential equity participation
