The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 75 institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.
The »Digital Business« research group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO works on national and international research, development, and consulting projects to harness the potential of quantum computers for industry and societal use.
The Fraunhofer Lab for Quantum Computing Stuttgart-Heilbronn (flaQship) unites the expertise of the Fraunhofer Institute IAO and the Fraunhofer Institute IPA under a shared vision. We bring together researchers from physics, mathematics, computer science, communications, economics, and political science, as well as leading professors, to drive excellence in research, agile strategies, and cross-functional collaboration — thus shaping the future of quantum computing.
We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated (Senior) Quantum Software Developer to join our Quantum Service Engineering research area. This role focuses on the design, development, optimization, and productization of software solutions that interface with quantum hardware, simulators, and hybrid quantum-classical systems. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in software engineering, a solid understanding of data structures and design principles, as well as a keen interest in quantum computing, agentic AI workflows, and emerging technologies (HPC / AI).
At the rapidly growing innovation and AI hub in Heilbronn, you will work closely with quantum physicists, researchers, and engineers. Together, you will translate theoretical concepts into robust, scalable, and maintainable software systems and disseminate research results through accessible software tools.
