The role
Provide scientific and technical leadership to lead our experimental quantum hardware program, driving the next generation of semiconductor quantum processors.
Groove Quantum is building the scalable quantum computer of the future based on semiconductor germanium quantum dots. As we scale from high-fidelity few-qubit processors towards large-scale quantum computers, your main mission will be to oversee both our experimental quantum hardware activities and internal device fabrication. Combining the scientific independence of a principal investigator with the pace, focus, and engineering ambition of a deep-tech startup, you will work closely with the CTO to translate our technology roadmap into ambitious R&D programs, taking devices from fabrication through cryogenic measurement and qubit operation.
Main responsibilities
The team
You will lead our quantum hardware division, with direct management responsibility for scientists and engineers across device fabrication, characterisation, control, and benchmarking. You will work directly alongside the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and collaborate closely with leaders in Device Design, Semiconductor Technology, Control Software, and Quantum Error Correction. This role reports directly to the CTO.
You’ll be joining a dynamic team of exceptionally bright individuals who take their craft seriously, but never take themselves too seriously. We pride ourselves on strong collaboration, an ambitious yet social culture, and genuine good vibes, where high performance and a great team spirit go hand in hand.
Key qualifications
We are looking for an accomplished experimental quantum scientist who combines deep technical authority in spin qubits with exceptional leadership, scientific judgment, and the ability to mentor highly skilled researchers.
At Groove Quantum, we’re all about fresh perspectives and different backgrounds. Fun fact: research shows most people talk themselves out of applying because they don't hit 100% of the job specs. Don't do that! If this role excites you, hit apply anyway. We want to hear from you!
Why join Groove Quantum
We are committed to building an inclusive, supportive workplace where initiative is celebrated. Join us, bring your ideas, and scale your career as we shape the future of quantum technology.
