QUDORA Technologies is a quantum technology start-up from Lower Saxony (Germany) developing full-stack quantum computers based on ion trap technology. Quantum computers hold the promise of outperforming today’s supercomputers within the next decade and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems by unleashing the power of quantum mechanics.
QUDORA and its patented technology belong to the spearhead of the German quantum computing landscape. We have won multiple projects and signed a contract to develop a quantum computer prototype for the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in context of the German Quantum Computing Initiative.
To realize our vision of building Germany’s best quantum computer, we need exceptional talents for our interdisciplinary and international team. We maintain a friendly working atmosphere with flat hierarchies and a high degree of individual flexibility. We celebrate our successes with team events!
Does this spark your interest? Are you motivated to advance a technology that will soon change the world? Then we look forward to welcoming you as a full-time member of our team as soon as possible.
