Our current needs

As Nord Quantique scales its quantum processor development activities, the EM Design team requires robust, reproducible, and scalable simulation infrastructure to support faster design cycles, stronger loss-budget rigor, and more efficient use of computational resources.

We are seeking a Team Lead, EM Design Tools and Infrastructure to define and drive the technical direction of internal electromagnetic simulation infrastructure. This role combines technical leadership, hands-on scientific software development, computational EM expertise, and cross-functional coordination.

The selected candidate will lead the development of internal modeling tools, automation workflows, solver strategies, validation practices, and reproducible simulation pipelines used across the EM Design team.

Team mission

Enable fast, scalable, and cost-efficient EM simulation across the EM Design team by developing and maintaining robust modeling tools, automation workflows, and solver strategies that support roadmap-driven design and loss-budget rigor.

Working in close collaboration with experts at Nord Quantique, the chosen candidate will:

• Own the EM simulation infrastructure roadmap and long-term solver strategy across the EM Design team.
• Lead internal tool development for model generation, simulation automation, solver orchestration, data extraction, and post-processing.
• Set software engineering standards for architecture, testing, documentation, releases, code review, and maintainability.
• Ensure simulation workflows are robust through reproducibility, traceability, versioning, validation, and design-documentation alignment.
• Drive solver benchmarking and scalability planning, including accuracy, convergence, licensing, HPC usage, queue times, and compute cost.
• Manage and anticipate scaling constraints related to licensing, HPC usage, and computational cost
• Mentor contributors and provide hands-on technical leadership in computational EM, scientific software, automation, architecture, and code reviews.
