As a highly skilled Systems Engineer for Quantum & Cryogenic Systems in the System Engineering team at Delft Circuits you will work at the intersection of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, cryogenics, and quantum computing, playing a key part in the design, integration, and optimization of complex I/O systems for quantum computing. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop reliable, scalable solutions for cryogenic quantum hardware and system-level architectures and provide technical support to our Sales team.
At Delft Circuits, we’re pushing the boundaries of cryogenic electronics with our flagship Cri/oFlex® platform—the world’s first fully integrated cryogenic I/O solution for quantum computing. Based in Delft, Netherlands, our diverse team of engineers, physicists, and innovators combines deep technical expertise with an open, collaborative culture — where ideas are shared, challenges are tackled head-on, and impact is real.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Lead the multidisciplinary projects for system-level design and integration of quantum hardware: high-density wiring and cryogenic infrastructure around it
- Translate high-level requirements into functional system architectures and technical specifications
- Design and validate electrical, mechanical, and thermal interfaces
- Develop and maintain block diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and system requirements
- Perform system-level modeling, simulations, and trade-off analyses
- Support hardware development including:
- Cryogenic systems and thermal design
- RF and signal integrity considerations
- Mechanical design and packaging
- Coordinate testing, debugging, and verification activities from prototype to product level
- Identify system risks and implement mitigation strategies
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers
- Collaborate closely with physicists, hardware / R&D engineers, and production teams
- Support system-level documentation and product qualification
What you bring:
- Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Systems Engineering or a related technical field
- Strong understanding of at least two of the following:
- Cryogenic systems
- Quantum hardware
- RF engineering
- Mechanical design for precision systems
- Thermal engineering
- At least three years of experience in high tech industry and working with complex multidisciplinary system designs
- Familiarity with system engineering methodologies
- Hands-on experience with test setups, diagnostics, or troubleshooting of hardware systems
- Ability to manage complexity and communicate clearly across disciplines
- Proficiency in documentation and technical reporting
- Prior customer facing experience
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Experience with quantum computing platforms (superconducting qubits, cryogenic electronics, or quantum interconnects)
- Knowledge of:
- Cryostats and dilution refrigerators
- Low-noise electronics
- Vacuum systems
- RF design and measurement
- Experience with tools such as:
- MATLAB / Python
- CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar)
- Simulation tools (ANSYS, COMSOL, CST, etc.)
- Previous experience in high-tech R&D or semiconductor environments
