  • Experience in cold / trapped atoms
  • Experience in quantum simulation or computing
  • Experience working in a startup environment
  • Technical writing experience (English or French)
  • Immediate availability with an authorization to work in France

We're looking first for an autonomous and solutions-minded individual above all else

Based on more than 40 years of academic research, co-founded by one of the 2022 Nobel prize laureates in Physics, PASQAL is on track to deliver to market a 1000-qubit quantum processor with smaller processors that can operate at room temperature and with lower energy consumption. This makes PASQAL one of the key world-class players in this quantum race. Will you join us?

Right to work in Canada without sponsorship is preferred.

PASQAL is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace because inclusion and diversity are essential to achieving our mission.
