Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation

As Quandela delivers quantum computers to industrial, public and sovereign customers, structured quality processes and well-governed knowledge have become strategic. We are creating a Quality & Knowledge Specialist role to help build these foundations.

Reporting to the COO, you will work on two complementary topics. First, you will help design and deploy the processes and methodology needed to achieve our target certifications. Second, you will structure, organize and bring to life the company's knowledge, so that information is reliable, easy to find, and securely shared. You will work with all teams: R&D, engineering, manufacturing, software, operations, business functions...

• A team eager to collaborate and grow with you
• A hybrid work model (3 days/week onsite in Massy, 1 day in Paris, 1 to 2 days remotely)
• Daily exposure to the entire quantum stack - from high-level APIs to low-level firmware, and everything in between.
