Quantum Processor Unit Integration Lead at Quantum Foundry Copenhagen

Join us in building the next generation foundry for quantum processor manufacturing.
We are seeking a Quantum Processor Unit Integration Lead to be part of our growing team.

Do you want to be part of pioneering quantum computing in a world-class quantum ecosystem in Copenhagen? Quantum Foundry Copenhagen is a new company owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF), focused on developing next-generation Quantum Computing Processor technologies.

Our mission is to establish a foundry capable of manufacturing quantum processor units (QPUs) using novel methods to meet the extreme requirements for purity and precision necessary for scaling Quantum Computing.

About Us

Our company is part of a vibrant Danish quantum ecosystem, collaborating closely with leading researchers at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
NQCP drives research and innovations across materials, quantum processor tech, control and readout interfaces, and quantum algorithms.

Together with NQCP and international partners, we aim to pioneer chip-based fabrication and packaging for state-of-the-art quantum processors.

Join Our Team

We are seeking a Quantum Integration Lead at the principal level with broad knowledge of quantum processor technologies.
You will lead a team designing, simulating, and coordinating the development of advanced quantum processors for large-scale, error-corrected quantum computing.
You will report directly to the CEO and manage a team of QPU experts.

Your team will develop next-generation scalable quantum processors integrating photonic, superconducting, semiconducting, and hybrid qubit technologies, supporting quantum applications in material and life sciences.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute strategic R&D roadmap for QPU.
Assess potential and feasibility of different QPU platforms based on algorithmic resource estimations.
Oversee project management across multiple teams.
Lead design, simulation, and optimization of full stack quantum computing solutions.
Coordinate interdisciplinary projects for successful integration.

Qualifications

Extensive experience in quantum computing R&D, from academia and industry.
Knowledge of superconducting, semiconducting, photonic qubits, or other modalities.
Hands-on experience with quantum control, cryogenics, and characterization.
Experience with chip fabrication techniques, including flip-chip architectures.
Proficiency in hardware simulations (e.g., FEM, DFT) and quantum programming languages.
Familiarity with HPC and hybrid quantum-classical computing schemes.
Leadership experience in research teams.
Ability to mentor and collaborate across disciplines.

We seek a strategic, inspirational leader passionate about quantum technology, eager to make Copenhagen a leading quantum hub.

What We Offer

Competitive salaries, benefits, and the opportunity to work in Copenhagen, one of the world's most livable cities.
Benefits include generous vacation, health insurance, pension, and a dynamic team environment.

Application Process

Contact our CEO Peter Krogstrup at for more information.
To apply, submit your CV, cover letter, diplomas (Master's and PhD), and examples of relevant work.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Employment is contingent upon security clearance.
