Electromagnetic Design Tools and Infrastructure Developer - Mid-Level at Nord Quantique, Sherbrooke, QC, Canada. A mid-level full time position in the Engineering team, listed under software engineering.

Our current needs
We are scaling our electromagnetic design capabilities alongside the development of increasingly complex quantum processors. To support this growth, we are building robust internal EM design toolkits and simulation infrastructure that enable quick, scalable, reproducible, and cost-efficient electromagnetic modeling across the Design team. We are seeking a pragmatic and detail-oriented EM Design Tools & Infrastructure Developer to join the EM Design team. This role is intended for someone who can bridge computational electromagnetics, scientific software development, and quantum hardware design workflows. The selected candidate will contribute directly to internal tools used for parametric model generation, simulation automation, solver integration, result extraction, post-processing, documentation, and loss-budget workflows.

Team mission
Enable fast, scalable, and cost-efficient EM simulation across the EM Design team by developing and maintaining robust modeling tools, automation workflows, and solver strategies that support roadmap-driven design and loss-budget rigor. Working in close collaboration with experts at Nord Quantique, the chosen candidate will:

Develop, maintain, and improve internal EM design toolkits supporting superconducting quantum processor design.

Build robust automation workflows for parametric geometry generation, simulation setup, solver execution, result extraction, and post-processing.

Integrate commercial, open-source,



and internal EM simulation tools into reproducible design workflows.

Contribute to solver benchmarking and numerical validation, including convergence studies, mesh sensitivity checks, and accuracy assessment.

Collaborate with EM designers to translate recurring modeling needs into reliable internal tools and reusable software components.

Support integration of simulation outputs into design documentation, loss-budget analysis, and roadmap-driven decision-making.

Requirements

Master’s degree, PhD, or equivalent industry experience in physics, electrical engineering, computational electromagnetics, scientific computing, software engineering, or a related field.

3+ years of relevant experience in computational electromagnetics, RF/microwave design, superconducting circuits, cQED, or scientific software development.

Strong programming experience, preferably in Python, with experience developing maintainable scientific or engineering software.

Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, COMSOL, PALACE, Sonnet, CST, or similar.

Experience with collaborative software development practices, including Git, issue tracking, code review, testing, and documentation.

Pragmatic, solution-oriented, and motivated by building tools that make technical teams faster and more effective.

Comfortable working at the interface of physics, EM simulation, and software engineering.

Strong sense of ownership for code quality, usability, documentation, and long-term maintainability.

Able to understand user needs, propose robust technical solutions, and iterate with design engineers.

Detail-oriented, with strong analytical and debugging skills.
