kiutra

Do you want to shape the future as part of a diverse, international team in a fast-growing, deep-tech company? Then read on!

At kiutra, we contribute to the development and application of quantum technologies by offering innovative and sustainable cooling solutions based on our unique magnetic cooling technology.

This is a foundational role — you will be kiutra's first dedicated hire in the United States. In this position, you won't just represent a product; you will open doors, build communities, and establish kiutra as the go-to cryogenic cooling partner across the US quantum research and technology ecosystem.

Your focus will be on business development, network activation, and market visibility — attending events, leveraging and growing your professional network, and identifying high-potential opportunities. You will be closely supported by kiutra's tech and sales team at HQ, who will partner with you on proposals and deal closure as you deepen your product knowledge. This is a long-term investment — in you, and in the US market.
This is a role for someone who thrives on relationships, moves fast, and wants to be at the center of one of the most exciting technology frontiers of our time.

Responsibilities

  • Activate and grow your network within the US quantum technology, low-temperature physics, and adjacent research communities (university labs, national labs, quantum hardware companies)
  • Identify and qualify new opportunities by engaging researchers, procurement leads, and technology managers at target institutions
  • Represent kiutra at US conferences, workshops, trade shows, and community events — building brand awareness and generating leads
  • Generate qualified pipeline with deals from prospective customers to understand their research goals, technical requirements, and timelines; hand off qualified opportunities to the HQ sales team for technical scoping and deal closure
  • Support proposal processes in collaboration with HQ, contributing US market context and customer relationships
  • Feed market intelligence back to the product and marketing teams — what are customers asking for, what competitors are they evaluating, what trends are emerging?
  • Build kiutra's presence in key US communities, both in person and through professional networks (LinkedIn, conference communities, lab networks)

Requirements

  • A degree in physics, quantum science & technology, engineering, or a related field (Master's or PhD preferred)
  • An established professional network in the US quantum technology, low-temperature physics, national lab, or quantum hardware ecosystem — this is essential
  • Genuine passion for cutting-edge science and the ability to speak credibly with researchers at the highest levels
  • A proactive mentality: self-starting, and energized by building something from scratch
  • Excellent communication skills — you can make complex technology accessible and build trust quickly
  • Comfort with significant travel across the US & Canada to attend events, visit customer sites, and grow your presence in the community
  • Prior experience in sales, business development, or customer-facing roles is a plus, but not required — the right network and scientific credibility matter more at this stage

Benefits

  • The opportunity to shape kiutra's North American market presence from the ground up
  • Dedicated onboarding at our Munich HQ to get deeply familiar with our technology, team, and customers
  • Competitive salary with performance-based incentives (OTE structure)
  • Regular performance reviews and long-term growth prospects
  • Full medical, dental, vision, life & disability coverage
  • Employer contribution toward dependent/family health premiums
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Generous PTO + paid holidays and more!
