About The Role:
We are seeking a highly motivated intern with a strong technical background in quantum computing and a solid understanding of the research landscape in North America. The goal of the internship is to build and refine Qblox’s internal database of potential quantum computing clients across the U.S.—including universities, startups, national labs, and industry R&D efforts.
This is not a sales position; rather, it’s a strategic research role supporting our business development and outreach efforts. The intern will work directly with the North American leadership team to map out the quantum ecosystem, identify key contacts, and organize data in a clear, actionable format.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct technical and institutional research on U.S.-based quantum computing efforts
- Identify key research groups, PIs, startups, and companies working on quantum hardware
- Compile, verify, and organize information into Qblox’s internal CRM system
- Help strategize outreach efforts based on technical focus and engagement potential
- Collaborate with team members across North America and at our HQ in the Netherlands
Who You Are:
- Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a degree in Physics, Engineering, or a related technical field
- Familiar with the quantum computing landscape and major research players in North America
- Self-driven, proactive, and organized
- Comfortable working independently and handling ambiguity
- Strong written communication skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with CRMs (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)
- Background in experimental quantum computing or quantum control
