Model-Based Systems Engineer

About Us QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in! Our Systems Integration Team is seeking a Model-Based Systems Engineer to build the tools and framework we use to design the systems that operate our VIO and QPU technology. This role is focused on establishing QuantWare’s MBSE methodology and turning knowledge from cryogenics, wiring, control electronics and software into a single, executable system model. You will define how we model our systems and build the libraries, analyses and integrations that make the model useful day to day. Working closely with processor, hardware and software teams, you will play an important role in enabling the design of the large-scale quantum computers built around VIO-powered QPUs. What are you going to do? Define and own QuantWare’s MBSE methodology, modelling conventions and architecture framework for quantum computing systems, covering the quantum processor, cryostat, signal chain, control and readout electronics, and software stack. Select, set up and maintain the MBSE toolchain (e.g. SysML v2, Capella or Cameo), including version control, model reviews and integration with existing engineering tools. Build reusable model libraries for key subsystems, including QPU interfaces, cryogenic wiring and attenuation, microwave signal paths, and control electronics. Develop automated analyses on top of the model, such as heat-load, signal-integrity and noise budgets, channel counts, scalability, and full-system metrics such as power consumption as qubit counts grow. Establish requirements traceability from customer and system-level requirements down to component specifications and verification tests. Connect the system model to simulation and measurement data, creating a digital thread between design and test. Support system architecture and trade studies for new VIO and QPU generations and customer system integrations. Drive adoption across the company, training and supporting engineers in using the models and tools in their day-to-day work. Qualifications Core Requirements: BSc. or MSc. in systems engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering or a related field. 3+ years of hands-on MBSE experience, including building or extending a modelling framework rather than only using existing ones. Hands on experience with hardware system models that encompass multiple subsystems with differing requirements and interfaces. Strong working knowledge of SysML (v1 and/or v2) and at least one MBSE tool, such as Cameo, Capella or equivalent. Proficiency in Python for model automation, analysis and tool integration via APIs. A solid track record in requirements engineering and verification of complex, multidisciplinary hardware systems. Strong organisational and communication skills. You thrive in a cross-disciplinary environment and are comfortable taking ownership from day one. Bonus Points Experience with cryogenic, RF/microwave or precision instrumentation systems, or direct experience with superconducting quantum hardware. Background in high-tech, semiconductor, aerospace or scientific instrumentation industries. Experience introducing MBSE into an organisation and driving its adoption. Familiarity with SysML v2 APIs, digital thread concepts or co-simulation (e.g. FMI), as well as systems engineering standards such as ISO/IEC 15288. Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection. What We Offer: At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a high-performing team of world-class experts in an ambitious, fast-moving environment. From day one, you’ll have the trust, tools, and support to do your best work. Here’s what you can expect: Competitive salary - A salary that reflects the impact and importance of the role (and of course 8% holiday allowance) Pension that’s built to last - A generous and future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage. Flexibility built on trust - We focus on outcomes. Work flexibly, in a hybrid setup, with an open vacation policy that lets you manage your time Personal growth - We invest in your L&D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know great candidates don't always follow a straight path, and we value diverse experience, perspectives, and ways of thinking. We know this helps us make better decisions, drives more innovation, and strengthens our culture. As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
