Spain's applied-research network is larger and more geographically distributed than the usual Barcelona-and-Madrid technology story suggests. Barcelona Supercomputing Center and IRB Barcelona sit alongside Basque centres such as Tecnalia, Ceit, BCAM, CIDETEC and CIC energiGUNE, with AIMPLAS in Valencia and GRADIANT in Vigo. Together they recruit scientists, research engineers, technicians, project managers and the operational teams that keep large programmes running.
The collection also follows deep-tech companies working in quantum computing, chip design, space systems, neurotechnology, biotechnology, advanced cooling and scientific hardware. Its research employers now include BarcelonaBeta Brain Research Center, DIPC, IrsiCaixa and AINIA, while FOSSA Systems and Temple Compute add space and scientific-computing roles. Research contracts can be tied to a funded project or academic stage, while product companies more often use conventional permanent roles. English is common in internationally staffed research and R&D teams, but laboratory, administrative and industry-facing work can require Spanish or a regional language; the individual advert remains authoritative.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which research institutes and deep-tech companies hire in Spain?
- This page tracks 409 openings from 43 employers, including Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Tecnalia, DIPC, BarcelonaBeta Brain Research Center, AINIA, FOSSA Systems, Temple Compute, Multiverse Computing, Openchip and CIC energiGUNE.
- Are all of these jobs for academic researchers?
- No. Alongside PhD and postdoctoral positions, the employers hire software and hardware engineers, laboratory and clean-room technicians, research-project managers, technology-transfer specialists, grant and finance teams, communications staff and product roles.
- Can I work at a Spanish research institute in English?
- Many research groups recruit internationally and use English for scientific work. Requirements vary for administration, local partnerships, regulated laboratories and customer-facing roles, so check the language evidence and qualification requirements on each advert.
- Are research jobs in Spain permanent?
- Some are permanent, while PhD, postdoctoral and grant-funded project roles often have a fixed term. Deep-tech product companies also advertise standard permanent engineering, product and commercial contracts. The contract field on each listing shows what the employer states.
