Hpc Integration & Support Engineer H/F - 91

Quandela is a European start up that provides photonic quantum computers that are modular, scalable, energy-efficient and accessible both on the cloud and on premise.

Our team of 85 employees, specialises in the development of both software and hardware solutions for a variety of quantum applications. We offer a wide range of services, from developing the most efficient and brightest single photons sources, to creating algorithms for quantum computers and providing cloud quantum computing solutions.

Quandela plays a pivotal role as a strategic partner in the quantum transformation of industrial sectors such as energy, finance, pharmaceuticals, and transportation. Furthermore, we are esteemed collaborators within the academic and research community.

- Following a successful €50 million fundraising in 2023, we are now scaling up our commercial ventures alongside our ongoing research endeavors.
- Quandela has been chosen to participate in the French Tech 2030 program, which aims to bolster French companies pioneering groundbreaking innovations.About Quandela

Quandela is a French deeptech spin-off from CNRS, building Europe's first general-purpose photonic quantum computers.
We deliver across the full stack - from single-photon sources and photonic chips to simulation libraries (Perceval), programming platforms (Merlin), and cloud access (Quandela Cloud).

Lucy, a 12-qubit photonic quantum computer developed under the EuroQCS-France / EuroHPC programme, will soon be hosted on-site at CEA's TGCC in Bruyères-le-Châtel and coupled directly with the Joliot-Curie supercomputer.
In this hybrid HPC-quantum setup, there is no remote factory access and no standard back-office monitoring.
Everything runs locally ; making integration, on-site operations, and system reliability absolutely critical.

Why this role matters?

We are building a dedicated support cell to accompany Lucy's deployment.

This is not classic support. It's about ensuring the world's first large-scale photonic QPU integrated with HPC runs reliably, day after day.

Your role covers monitoring, documentation, reporting, and user enablement, while escalating deeper hardware issues to specialists when needed.
Beyond troubleshooting, you'll contribute to the practices and metrics that define how researchers interact with Lucy.
