About Universal Quantum
Universal Quantum is building quantum computers to tackle real-world problems that would take today’s fastest supercomputers billions of years to solve. You will join a team pioneering utility-scale quantum computing. Their modular architecture uses Integrated Quantum Processing Units (iQPUs) and microwave technology for qubit control. This unique approach enables industrial manufacturability and scalability. They have secured a —67 million contract from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to build fully scalable trapped-ion quantum computers. This project will deliver a single-chip quantum computer and a multi-chip system, scaling to millions of qubits. They partner with governments, industry, and academia to explore quantum computer applications across healthcare, AI, logistics, and finance.
How We Work
You will join a team that values mutual care and respect. Universal Quantum fosters an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives drive innovation. They prioritize continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability in their practices. Flexible working arrangements are standard, alongside a flexible holiday allowance. The company promotes a culture of collaboration and individual empowerment, ensuring everyone can flourish.
Engineering at Universal Quantum
You will engage with complex challenges at the forefront of quantum computing. The core of their technology is the Integrated Quantum Processing Unit (iQPU), built on a commercial 200 mm foundry line. This houses hundreds of ion qubits. They use a microwave-driven approach to simplify the control stack and reduce optical infrastructure. This distinctive strategy aims for industrial manufacturability and scalability. For systems beyond a single chip, they developed UQConnect, a proprietary interconnect. This technology transports ions between trap modules at high rates and fidelity. They also offer UQLogic, an ASIC for microwave qubit control. Engineers here build the foundational components of future quantum machines.
