About the role

About Us QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in! As Laboratory Operations & Safety Officer , you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day operation of QuantWare’s laboratories while helping build the operational foundations for our expanding R&D facilities, including our new semiconductor cleanroom.
