Our mission
QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a high growth start-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world’s largest quantum processors, as fast as possible.
At QuantWare, we’re not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we’re working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That’s where you come in.
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Technical Program Manager to join our R&D team. This is a fast-paced and evolving role that requires a leader capable of navigating deeply technical complexity and driving impactful results. If you’re excited about helping QuantWare define the future of quantum computing and thrive in a dynamic, innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you!
Impact of the role
As a Technical Program Manager on the R&D team at QuantWare, you’ll take on a dynamic role that combines project leadership, people management, and strategic guidance. First, you’ll be responsible for the execution of key projects, ensuring they’re delivered on time, consistently, and at a high standard. Because R&D work is inherently unpredictable, you’ll also be adept at spotting potential roadblocks early. You have mitigations ready, achieving a fast path towards results. Your program is central to QuantWare's roadmap, mission and therefore success.
In addition to managing projects, you’ll lead multiple teams, focusing on their growth, performance, and overall happiness. You’ll create an environment where team members can excel, while staying ahead of potential challenges to keep everyone aligned and productive.
What You'll Be Doing
In the first year you will:
- Lead overall program strategy and execution, overseeing timelines, resource division and risk management to ensure successful outcomes.
- Shape and refine a pivotal portion of our R&D roadmap, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and readiness for successful execution.
- Lead multiple teams and foster a collaborative and high-performance culture, taking a proactive, hands-on approach to challenges.
What We Offer
You’ll be part of a high performing team of world-leading experts at the forefront of quantum technology on a mission to change the world. QuantWare offers a fast-paced environment where you can excel and become the best version of yourself, where you can shape and own your role, taking on significant responsibility from day one.
- An excellent monthly salary depending on experience and holiday pay (a bonus of 8% of your annual salary, paid out once a year in May)
- An excellent pension scheme (20% off your annual salary, minus the statutory offset, of which QuantWare contributes 63%). On top of that, we fully pay for your partner’s and orphan’s pension plus disability premium waiver. For a secure future for you and your loved ones.
- We believe in giving and taking ownership, that’s why we let you decide on when and how to get your work done - as long as it gets done (i.e. through an open vacation policy, flexible working hours and hybrid working options).
- For international colleagues we provide support with relocation to the Netherlands, tailored to your personal circumstances (e.g. visa application, travel costs, temporary housing and support in applying for a 30% tax benefit);
- Great extra benefits: the choice between a public transport business card or travel allowance, a development budget based on personal ambitions and need and plenty of social and health initiatives (such as team outings, chair massages and sports classes).
Your profile
While We Understand The Perfect Candidate Might Not Exist, If You Check Most Of The Boxes Below, We’d Love To Hear From You
- At least 5 years in Project Management in high-tech or R&D-driven industries, preferably at a scale-up
- Background in Physics or a related engineering field
- Semiconductor R&D, microwave and/or electrical engineering or quantum device engineering experience are a plus
- At least a Master's degree
Why QuantWare?
