The mission of TU Delft's Quantum and Computer Engineering (QCE) department is to invent, design, prototype and demonstrate the potential of disruptive computing engines by harnessing unique features of emerging devices, e.g., qubits, memristors, spintronics, and graphene. Building such computing engines requires a full-stack interdisciplinary approach, encompassing fabrication and operation of qubits, electronic circuit design, micro-architecture, programming models, compilers and simulation platforms.

As a Software Engineer, you will work in an international team of scientists with different domain expertise, PhD students, MSc students, and other engineers. Your main responsibilities and activities include the development, realisation, testing and management of complex software tools and frameworks that support research in Quantum & Computer Engineering. You will participate in (national and EU) research projects and contribute to both the scientific and engineering level, e.g., perform experiments to test scientific hypotheses; design, implementation and verification of complex software; and contributing to research papers. You will advise the management about the necessary investments in computing systems, tools and software and support, coach and instruct QCE researchers and students from a Computer Science point of view. You will manage and execute your assigned project tasks, and report the results to the project leader and users.

You have an HBO/BSc/MSc degree in Computer Science and are familiar with computer architectures, hardware and software test and integration. You are a well-organised, tenacious and orderly team player. You are proficient in written and oral communication in English (at least B2). Knowledge in architectures such as RISC-V is a strong plus. 

Fixed-term contract: 1 year.

• A salary based on scale 9 or 10, ( € 3.077,-  - € 5.090,- depending on education and
  work experience) according to the Collective Labor Agreement of the Dutch
  Universities, plus 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%.
• An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
• The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
• Discount with health insurers.
• Flexible working week.
• Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
• Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
• Partially paid parental leave
• Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.

Delft University of Technology

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.

At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core valuesand we actively engageto be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.

Challenge. Change. Impact!

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three disciplines - electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make future-proof. We are also working on a world in which humans and computers reinforce each other. We are mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. There is plenty of room here for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1,100 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
