  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-evolving R&D environments
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have

  • Experience in aerospace, automotive, robotics, advanced instrumentation, or similar domains
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts or tools
  • Experience working closely with research or experimental teams
  • Exposure to quantum technologies is a plus, but not required

Worth weighing

  • The role involves significant ambiguity and requires rapid learning due to the experimental nature of quantum computing.
  • No specific salary or benefits are mentioned in the posting.
  • The position emphasizes collaboration and trust-building rather than traditional gatekeeping or heavy processes.
