The dielectric haloscope, in particular the recently proposed MADMAX, is a promising new approach to detect galactic QCD axion dark matter motivated by the post-inflationary Pecci-Quinn symmetry breaking scenario. We present one of the first rigorous studies of systematic uncertainties in dielectric haloscopes, based on axion-electrodynamics simulations and a proof of principle experimental setup. The results include critical design parameters for MADMAX, such as required antenna properties, magnetic field and allowed losses.
