For this position, you will be employed by our parent company, Rohde & Schwarz Japan, giving you the stability and reach of a global technology leader, while working closely with the Zurich Instruments team and customers.

Quantum computing is transitioning from research to reality, and Japan is one of its most exciting markets. Do you want to be at the forefront of this development, engaging with leading researchers and decision-makers to drive real commercial impact? Then this role is for you.

Your responsibilities

  • Build and maintain customer relationships to ensure long-term success
  • Organize and perform customer visits, engaging with researchers, principal investigators, and decision-makers
  • Represent Zurich Instruments at trade shows and conferences across Japan
  • Open up new business with academic and industry partners as we expand in the region

Your profile

  • A technical degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or similar combined with first sales experience, or a proven sales track record in a comparable technical market
  • Highly motivated and results-driven, with the determination to turn opportunities into wins
  • A strong communicator with an entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable engaging both technical and commercial stakeholders
  • A basic understanding of Quantum Computing or Test and Measurement applications, or the drive to learn them fast
  • Willingness to travel regularly within Japan for customer visits and events
  • Native-level Japanese and solid professional English, as you'll work closely with our Swiss headquarters

Join a diverse, open, and transparent work environment that values personal development. Thrive in a cooperative team, where distributed decision-making enables you to make a substantial impact from the start.

Now is an exciting time to join the team.

We look forward to receiving your resume and motivation letter.
