PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale.

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real.

Come join us.

Job Summary:

Enable the European Market Development team to win and deliver public-private partnership opportunities by owning funding lifecycles (grant scanning, writing & management), meeting/scheduling ops, market research, and light contracting workflows. The role sits at the intersection of public–private engagement and program delivery, supporting a portfolio that spans EU/UK grants and technology partnerships.

Responsibilities:

Grants:

  • Source and qualify EU/UK calls (e.g. Horizon Europe, EIC, Chips JU, Innovate UK, national programs).
  • Draft compelling grant content (needs, workplans, impact, budget narratives); coordinate partner inputs and internal reviews.
  • Own submissions end-to-end: timelines, portals, compliance documents, signatures.
  • Post-award PMO: reporting, claims, deliverables calendars, risk/issue logs, stakeholder updates.

Delivery & ops:

  • Build briefing packs (context, interlocutor bios, talking points, one-pagers) and run meeting prep/follow-ups.
  • Maintain trackers/CRMs (pipeline, submissions, MOU/SOW status), drive weekly standups, and chase actions to closure.

Market research:

  • Track funding instruments and policies shaping funding programs, and map ecosystem players across key EU capitals/Brussels; produce concise decision memos.

Contracting support:

  • Drive light-touch legal workflows with Legal/Finance: NDAs, MoUs, consultancy SOWs, grant subcontracts; maintain version control and signature routing.

Experience/Qualifications:

  • 2–5 years in one or more: strategy/ops, consulting, EU/UK grants (university/RTO/industry), policy/public-affairs with delivery ownership, or program/PMO roles.
  • Excellent writing and structuring; comfort driving cross-functional timelines.
  • Stakeholder maturity; able to interface with senior counterparts in government/industry.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with EU/UK funding programs (Horizon Europe/EIC/Chips JU/Innovate UK) and basic public procurement mechanics.
  • Experience preparing executive briefings; exposure to deep-tech or R&D environments preferred.
  • Technical “STEM” degree.
  • Additional EU language(s).

Values & working style

  • Bias to action, organised, detail-tight, thrives in ambiguity, “own the outcome” mindset fit for a high-performance team.
  • Curious about translating technical concepts into clear external narratives.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising quantum computing jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Quantum computing is no longer a discipline that exists purely in academic papers and government roadmaps. It is entering a phase of genuine commercial momentum — one that is beginning to reshape the jobs market in ways that are both significant and, for well-positioned job seekers, enormously promising. The UK sits at the centre of this shift. With the government's £2 billion National Quantum Strategy committed through to 2034, a network of world-class university research groups, a growing cluster of quantum hardware and software companies, and deepening investment from major technology and defence organisations, Britain has established itself as one of a handful of countries genuinely competing at the frontier of quantum computing development and commercialisation. But the quantum computing jobs market of 2026 is a nuanced one. It is not yet the broad, deep hiring market that artificial intelligence or cloud computing represents. It is a specialist, technically demanding, and rapidly evolving landscape where the roles being created today look quite different from those that existed three years ago — and where the roles that will dominate hiring in 2028 are already beginning to take shape. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which technical areas are moving from research into commercial application, which adjacent skills are becoming as important as quantum physics itself, and how to position a quantum computing career that will remain valuable as the technology scales. This article breaks down what the UK quantum computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most consequential technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Quantum Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Advancing Quantum Careers

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs. As companies convert quantum theory into testable products, algorithms, and computing platforms, demand for professionals with quantum knowledge — whether physics, algorithms, software development, or hardware engineering — is rising. In 2026, quantum computing organisations are securing significant funding, industry partnerships, and contracts across sectors such as energy, finance, telecommunications, defence, and healthcare. For candidates exploring opportunities on www.QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are hiring now and scaling quantum teams is crucial. This article profiles the new and high‑growth quantum computing employers to watch in 2026, with a specific focus on UK‑based innovators, international firms with UK operations, and leading global quantum organisations.
