Elevate Quantum is 501c3 non-profit dedicated to dramatically accelerating the
commercialization of quantum technologies. Our organization consists of the largest quantum
industry cluster in the United States. With over 120 participating organizations Elevate
Quantum is uniquely positioned to help transform cutting-edge research into world-changing
companies. A cornerstone of Elevate Quantum’s (EQ) commercialization mission is creating a
quantum technology park that will include office space, lab space, and a photonic integrated
circuit fab facility. At the heart of the campus is the Quantum Lab
, shared-use facility offering
advanced R&D, prototyping, and testing equipment and services to early and mid-stage
quantum companies. Designed to support all quantum technology modalities, the Lab will
house state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment, reducing barriers to entry and
enabling rapid innovation through shared resources and technical expertise.

We are seeking a Quantum Lab Scientist to join our fast-paced, mission-driven team in the
launch and operation of this one-of-a-kind facility. The Quantum Lab Scientist will be a critical
member of Elevate Quantum’s commercialization team with a particular focus on supporting
the successful development, launch, and operation of our Cryogenic Quantum Lab. The
Quantum Lab Scientist will be critical in ensuring the success of not only EQ but more
importantly its customers. In this position, the Quantum Lab Scientist will engage with Cryo Lab
customers in the configuration, set up, and ongoing support of their tests and characterization.

In addition to leading the Cryo Lab at Elevate Quantum, the Quantum Lab Scientist will support
overall operations of the EQ Lab through management, maintenance, and training on the shared use equipment. The Quantum Lab Scientist will play a pivotal role in identifying and advising on future equipment purchases.

Beyond technical expertise, we value people who thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy
problem-solving with others, and bring both precision and creativity to their work. Successful candidates will especially have proven hands-on experience in superconducting quantum systems, quantum control, and cryogenic tests and measurement.
