Available position Quantum System Validation Engineer / Physicist (permanent position, 40 hour per week) About Nord Quantique At Nord Quantique, we strive to build impactful technology by relentlessly pushing our understanding of quantum science. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, innovators, builders, and enthusiasts on a mission to make quantum computing a reality. Our quantum processors are designed to reduce errors in quantum computation to facilitate long-term scaling toward fully-fledged quantum computers. We believe it is our responsibility to deliver this transformative technology for the greater good of society. Located at the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships region in the province of Quebec, Canada, we develop our technology in the vibrant quantum ecosystem of Sherbrooke. Leaning on more than a decade of vertical integration of quantum hardware, we are leveraging a comprehensive pool of quantum technology and micro-electronic infrastructure to deploy our quantum computing technology Salary : $105,000 ? $122,000 Benefits : 5 weeks of vacation, group insurance (including dental care), virtual care, lifestyle spending account (all available after 3 months of service) Contact: (819) 975-4654, career@nordquantique.ca Our current needs As part of the creation of the Engineering Department, Nord Quantique is building a new Quantum System Validation team responsible for validating that logical quantum performance is preserved as systems scale toward deployment-ready quantum computing platforms. We are seeking a highly motivated experimental physicist or engineer with experience in quantum systems, cryogenic experiments, and large-scale validation environments. Experience with superconducting quantum systems is an asset. The mission of this role is to execute and develop validation methodologies that characterize system-level performance, operational robustness, and long-term reliability of integrated quantum computing systems under realistic scaling constraints. More specifically, this individual will contribute to long-duration validation campaigns, characterize scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources, support system bring-up activities, and help establish the reliability foundations required for future utility-scale and deployment-ready quantum computing systems. Keys responsibilities: Define and execute system-level experimental validation campaigns Characterize logical and physical performance under scaling-induced variability and emergent error sources Perform long-duration stability and drift measurements Support integrated system bring-up and operational robustness testing Validate calibration workflows, boot-up sequencing, and hardware?software orchestration Contribute to failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and reliability qualification activities Develop automated validation and characterization workflows Analyze experimental data and communicate findings to cross-functional engineering and research teams Support development of deployment-readiness criteria, acceptance metrics, and performance-gating methodologies Education and experience requirements: PhD in electrical engineering, experimental physics, quantum engineering, systems engineering, or a related field Relevant experience in quantum technologies, superconducting quantum hardware, or complex cryogenic experimental systems Experience executing experimental campaigns in multidisciplinary environments Sought expertise and knowledge: Circuit QED and superconducting quantum syste Location Sherbrooke , QC Work location On site Salary $ 102,000 to $ 122,000 YEAR annually Terms of employment Permanent employment Full time Starts as soon as possible vacancies 1 vacancy Source Jobillico #17269673 Various locations Sherbrooke, QC
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
