Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future. **We are looking for a QA Engineer (m/f/d) to join us in Hamburg or Siegen.** **You will take ownership of quality across our software platform, from compilation services and the public API to the interfaces used by our operators and customers.** **This is a _build-from-scratch role_: there is no ready-made test suite waiting for you, and no expensive tool that does the thinking for you. You define _what_ good testing looks like here, and then you _build_ it.** **You are as comfortable writing a test strategy on a blank page as you are writing the automation that implements it in code.** **Responsibilities:** - Own the testing approach for our platform end-to-end: define what to test, at which level, and why - Write test concepts from scratch — risk-based, covering unit, integration, system, and end-to-end levels, and turn them into running, maintained automation - Build and own our test automation frameworks in code, integrated directly into our CI/CD pipelines, using your defined tooling - Do the exploratory and manual testing that automation can't cover, and know where that line sits - Establish quality gates, coverage expectations, and clear bug-reporting practices the whole team can work with - Work closely with backend, platform, and hardware teams to test at the boundaries where software meets the machine - Raise the testing literacy of the engineering team, so quality is a shared habit rather than a gate at the end **Required Skills:** - 3+ years in software quality assurance, with real ownership of test strategy, not only executing predefined test scripts - Ability to design a test concept for an unfamiliar system: choosing the right test levels, techniques, and priorities from first principles - Confident programming ability (Python preferred), enough to build and maintain automation yourself rather than depend on record-and-playback tools - Hands-on experience with open-source testing frameworks (e.g. pytest, Playwright, Selenium) and integrating tests into CI/CD - Solid grounding in testing fundamentals: test design techniques, the test pyramid, API testing, and when to automate versus test manually - A generalist, tool-agnostic mindset, you pick the right approach for the problem, not the one tool you already know - Ability to collaborate effectively with experimental physicists and engineers - Strong adaptability and a quick learning mindset - Good proficiency in English (written and spoken) **Nice to have (Bonus)** - Experience setting up a QA function or test strategy in an early-stage or greenfield environment - Testing distributed systems, APIs, or cloud-native services - Performance, load, or security testing experience - Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop or lab/control-software testing - ISTQB certification, or an equivalent grounding in test theory you actually apply - Prior exposure to quantum computing or other deep-tech domains **What you can expect from eleQtron:** - **Competitive salary:** We value our team members and therefore provide remuneration that reflects this, additionally rewarding achievements - **Flexible working hours**: We offer personal freedom through a variety of flexible work schedules - **Team spirit:** In our international and diverse team, and with our regular team events, having fun at work is simply part of the culture - **Further development:** We want to grow together, and so we offer our team members needs-based, individualised further training as well as plenty of room for personal development - **Wellness Package**: We offer health-promoting benefits such as fitness programs like UrbanSportsClub to support your well-being - **Bike Leasing:** Stay Mobile and Sustainable with Our Company Bike Leasing Program - **Moving Benefits:** A warm welcome! We are happy to support employees who move for us with a bonus - **At the forefront**: Work at the forefront of technology, where academic research meets commercial applications - **Modern workplace:** We have a high-quality infrastructure with laboratory space, offices and meeting rooms ## How to apply Apply on the job page, https://germanydevjobs.com/jobs/eleqtron-qa-engineer-quantum-computing-m-w-d-kvtdnur: its Apply button opens the employer's own application page. ## More jobs from eleQtron - [QPU Integration Engineer (Assembly & Characterization focused) (f/m/d)](https://germanydevjobs.com/jobs/eleqtron-qpu-integration-engineer-assembly-characterization-focused-f-0xgo9sw): eleQtron, Hamburg, Germany.
