Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Develop, integrate and test software that operates quantum computing hardware, including benchmarking, profiling and optimising quantum processes and algorithms. Work within a multidisciplinary team of electronic engineers, physicists and hardware designers, taking ownership of major features in the quantum computing software stack.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Design, model and test waveforms that transport ions quickly and efficiently on surface ion traps, including inter-module connections via UQConnect. The role also involves contributing to ion trap designs, building accurate physics models and optimisation software, and working with hardware teams to implement transport methods and analyse experimental results against predictions.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Lead the design and operation of a global supply chain for complex quantum computing hardware, managing end-to-end procurement, supplier relationships, and logistics. Work closely with engineering and cross-functional teams to mitigate supply risks and ensure timely delivery of critical components. Implement practical tools and processes to support scaling while ensuring compliance with international regulations.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Designs and models atom-light operations such as sub-Doppler cooling, state preparation, detection and quantum gates, and develops accurate physics models of ion-laser and microwave interactions. Works closely with hardware teams to implement these methods on quantum computing devices and analyses experimental results against model predictions.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Produce high-quality, full-custom, mixed-signal integrated circuit layouts, working across all levels from base cells to chip top-level. Collaborate closely with designers to meet circuit requirements and deliver DRC/LVS-clean layouts on schedule, implementing designs across a variety of fabrication processes.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

Designs and architects a custom RF delivery system, including cables and transmission lines, defining specifications and trade-offs for key building blocks. Oversees RF design, simulation, integration, verification and validation testing, and contributes to proof-of-concept work. Works cross-functionally with electronics, ASIC, mechanical, software engineers and physicists, with involvement in project planning and risk management.

Universal Quantum · Haywards Heath

A speculative application opening for a quantum computing company, inviting candidates to submit their details for roles that are often not publicly advertised. The team reviews submissions and reaches out to arrange a conversation when there appears to be a potential fit, with new roles being created regularly.

IonQ · Oxford

Builds and commissions precision optical and laser assemblies for quantum computing hardware, covering free-space alignment, fibre coupling and testing delicate components under microscopes. Works alongside technicians, engineers and scientists on system builds, maintenance and upgrades, documenting work and maintaining a safe laser laboratory.

IonQ · Oxford

Hands-on role supporting the optical manufacturing team building and upgrading quantum computer systems. Day to day involves optical, mechanical and electrical assembly, keeping the lab and workshop tidy and safe, and producing and maintaining technical documentation alongside engineers, scientists and senior technicians.

IonQ · Oxford

Join the Runtime Software team to build the real-time control system that turns a collection of hardware into a quantum computer. You'll develop Rust libraries and execution environments, write drivers for real-time devices, and work closely with experimental scientists, FPGA and compiler teams to drive ions with nanosecond precision.
