Quantum Computing Jobs

• Haywards Heath
• On-site
• Permanent

Drive HDL system design and realisation for control systems used in quantum computers, documenting circuits and verification tests. Work within a multidisciplinary electronics team alongside mechanical engineers, software engineers and physicists, contributing to proof-of-concept work and project planning. The role sits at the intersection of state-of-the-art electronics and quantum computing hardware.

• Haywards Heath

• Permanent

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.

• Oxford
• Hybrid
• Mid-level

Build and operate the software controlling the supporting hardware of trapped-ion quantum computers, from cryogenic compressors to lasers, wavemeters and sensors. You'll own device controllers end to end — API design, implementation, fleet rollout and operational health — working in a Rust codebase with hardware protocols like SCPI, serial, TCP/IP and USB alongside software, systems and quantum science teams.

• Remote
• Permanent

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.

• Haywards Heath
• On-site
• Permanent

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.

• On-site

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.

• Oxford
• Mid-level

Lead end-to-end delivery of quantum computing systems to customer sites across Europe and Asia, owning deployment and commissioning from early planning and export through installation and handover. Coordinate engineering, legal, trade compliance, logistics, facilities and customer teams, defining delivery processes from scratch in a fast-growing environment.
