RF-Designer for Quantum computing with focus on Superconducting Qubits

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.

Fraunhofer EMFT conducts cutting-edge applied research on sensors and actuators for people and the environment. The about 150 employees in the three locations in Munich, Oberpfaffenhofen and Regensburg possess impressive long-term experience and wide-ranging know-how in the fields of microelectronics and microsystem technology. The technology offering of the research institute ranges from semiconductor processes, MEMS technologies and 3D integration to foil electronics. These nano- and microtechnologies are the basis for the other competence areas at Fraunhofer EMFT: sensor solutions, safe and secure electronics, and micropumps. The interdisciplinary interaction of these competencies enables the development of truly novel solutions to meet the current challenges facing our society.

Our institute is one of the leading research institutions in the area of quantum computing. As a member of the Munich Quantum Valley, we are strongly involved in core research projects and developments in Bavaria and beyond. Our RF design team contributes a significant impact to the research and design of superconducting qubit structures as well as to the 3D integration of quantum processors. We want to further expand this expertise in our team and make a significant contribution to the success of quantum computing with new innovations in 3D integration under cryogenic conditions. Shape the future with us and become a scientist at Fraunhofer EMFT!
