About the role

Science Led, Enterprise Driven – Accelerating Quantum Computing Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, pioneering powerful quantum computers and advanced software solutions. Quantinuum’s technology drives breakthroughs in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and next-gen quantum AI. With approximately 500 employees, including 370+ scientists and engineers, Quantinuum leads the quantum computing revolution across continents. We unite best-in-class software with high-fidelity hardware to accelerate quantum computing. With integrated full-stack technology, our world-class team is rapidly scaling quantum computing. Quantinuum recently secured $300M in funding, visit our news pages to learn more about this and other Quantinuum scientific breakthroughs and achievements: https://www.quantinuum.com/news We are seeking a highly qualified Quantum Hardware Engineer, On-Premises Installation for our Broomfield, CO or Brooklyn Park, MN location to install and service Helios systems for our Hardware-as-a-Service business. Helios is our next-generation quantum computer with 96 physical qubits and error rates <10-3 that will be offered both for cloud access in 2025 as well as on customer premises at a later date. This would be our second Hardware-as-a-Service offering following our installation of a quantum computer at RIKEN’s Wako, Japan campus. This advanced opportunity begins at an early stage of a Helios project, allowing the ideal candidate to participate in integration, validation, and preparation for shipment at the Quantinuum site while developing deep familiarity with the Helios hardware and software. The successful candidate will then be part of the team installing and validating performance of the system at a customer site. As we continue to build out the team, we will require a diverse set of skills and have identified three specific roles:- One that requires deep physics knowledge of trapped-ion-based technology and would be responsible for qubit-based integration and validation tasks. This role would be best suited for the candidate with an atomic physics or mature quantum computing background. · One that requires demonstrated skill and broad knowledge over laser and optical systems designed for light delivery, collection, and detection. This role would be responsible for integration and validation tasks associated with laser and optical subsystems.- One that requires extensive experience with hardware-software interfacing, lab-scale networking, and comprehensive software troubleshooting and validation. This role would be responsible for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting software deployments spanning local control systems, lab servers, and cloud-based services.- We encourage exceptional candidates to apply to this position even if they do not fit into one of the above roles, especially if they have experience in quantum computing, lasers and optics, software control of hardware subsystems, equipment installation and service, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and/or systems engineering. All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.

Key Responsibilities:

Successful installation of Helios systems on customer premises including preparation for shipment, relocation, reassembly, and qualification
Improve and mature plans and work instructions for the above activities in coordination with Quantinuum site experts prior to deployment
Explicit ownership of specific subsystems and system functionality based on prior experience and Quantinuum training
On-site service and maintenance of Helios systems with the support of subject matter experts and a global team
Participate in integration and validation efforts at Quantinuum site prior to installation
Ensure smooth handoff for shipping and installation and apply continuous improvements to associated processes
Domestic and International travel to customer sites for extended periods for hardware deployment (months) and service (weeks) for each Helios system deployed
Have utmost focus on business success, technical progress, and professional interactio
