Role Overview
We are looking for aSr. Control System Engineer/Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)to integrate and maintain the hardware and software systems that enable QuEra’s quantum controls and software stack. You’ll work closely with software engineers, physicists, hardware and test engineers to install, upgrade, maintain, test and troubleshoot multiple hardware and software control systems for our Quantum Computers. This role is a foundational systems engineering role to ensure the reliability, stability, and operational functionality of both our development and production environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Implement, maintain and test software and hardware in a heterogeneous system that controls disparate computer system devices.
  • Define, document, implement and test procedures for QuEra’s Quantum computer operations.
  • Manage science, development and testing infrastructure, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups, containerized services (K8S), routers, switches, and test systems.
  • Propose, and/or implement automated provisioning, configuration, and orchestration of local and remote compute systems used in controlling and testing, simulations.
  • Collaborate with software and test engineering teams to ensure smooth integration/deployment of DevOps tools with custom hardware and quantum-specific workflows.
  • Maintain artifact repositories, test result dashboards, and infrastructure for tracking regressions and system health.
  • Establish and enforce best practices for access control, system configuration, and lab operations.
  • Support incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis for CI/CD failures or system anomalies.
  • Implement automation for monitoring and alerting for systems and services, integrating logs and metrics from embedded systems, test benches, and orchestration layers.
  • Work with CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and deploying software and firmware across the quantum control stack.

Required Qualifications

  • Practical implementation of LAN and WAN technologies on switches and routers (to include but not be limited to VLAN configuration, DNS, DHCP, and TCP/IP based services)
  • Practical Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat) and Windows Administration experience, to include but not be limited to network operations and, application installation and debugging

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

Where to advertise quantum computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and consortia that reach quantum hardware and Qiskit talent. 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.
