Careers at Quanfluence
Build what hasn't been built yet.
The most exciting careers aren't found on established paths. They're built by the people who make new ones.
At Quanfluence you'll work alongside scientists, engineers and builders on some of the hardest problems in quantum computing, from photonic hardware through to the control systems and software that turn it into a working platform.
If you want your work to still matter decades from now, and not just at the end of the next quarter, we'd like to meet you.
Open roles
- Engineering
- Bengaluru, on-site
What you’ll need
- We need a technical lead to own the design and characterization of the electronic and optoelectronic hardware at the core of our photonics systems. You'll lead end-to-end product architecture, from low-noise, high-speed circuit design through testing protocols for detector metrics like dark count rate, photon detection efficiency and timing jitter, while mentoring a cross-functional team of optical, electrical and mechanical engineers. You'll also be the technical escalation point for customers and field support, working with technical sales to troubleshoot complex integrations.
- What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Photonics or a related discipline
- Hands-on experience in optoelectronics R&D and product development, taking hardware from concept to market
- Strong proficiency in low-noise analog circuit design, high-frequency signal processing and mixed-signal PCB design/layout
- Experience developing embedded software for RISC-V, x86 or ARM, including communication over SPI, I2C or UART
- Demonstrated experience leading technical projects or engineering teams
Useful, not essential
- Hands-on experience with thermo-electric coolers (TECs), PID control loops and temperature stabilization of optical components
- Familiarity with FPGA-based data acquisition, time-to-digital converters (TDCs) or embedded microcontrollers for detector readout
- Experience operating in environments guided by ISO 9001 or similar quality management systems

The people building it with you
Quanfluence brings together physicists, engineers, software specialists and business leaders working across the full stack of photonic quantum computing from fundamental research and hardware design to software, products and applications.
Why Quanfluence
Who we're looking for
We're not looking for the perfect candidate, because we don't think one exists. We look for an appetite for problems nobody has a method for yet, and for how fast you close the gap between what you know today and what the work needs. Prototypes, teardowns, simulations, side projects and papers tell us more than where you studied, and what you've chased since matters more than what you were taught. Nobody here is waiting to hand you a task list, so show us something you built, solved or figured out.
If you've ever been called obsessive, stubborn in a good way, or the person who always asks why, there's a good chance you'll enjoy working here.
How we hire
Every application starts with a questionnaire
A resume doesn't tell us enough. The questionnaire takes 30 to 45 minutes and gives every applicant the same chance to show how they think, whether you're ten years into a career or a month out of university.
Apply
Apply through the role's form with your details and CV.
Questionnaire
Fill out the questionnaire linked on the role's apply page. Set aside 30 to 45 minutes and answer it in one sitting.
Fair read
Every questionnaire is read the same way, in the same place, whoever you are and however you found us.
You'll hear back
If it's a fit on both sides, we'll reach out to talk specifics. If it isn't, we'll let you know rather than leave you wondering.
Why here
Work close to the hardware, from day one
There's no ramp-up team standing between you and the real problem. You're at the bench, in the codebase or on the optical table within your first weeks — learning by building, not by sitting in on it.
Open door
