Quantum Computing Jobs

• Oxford
• Hybrid
• Senior

Owns a group of non-realtime device controllers end to end, from API design and implementation to rollout and operational health, for hardware such as cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, lasers and cameras. Controllers are written in Rust on Linux, using gRPC/REST and instrument protocols like SCPI, Modbus, serial and Ethernet, working closely with systems teams and quantum scientists.

Hands-on staff engineering role owning the non-realtime control software for quantum computers, integrating supporting hardware such as cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, lasers and cameras on general-purpose Linux. You will write Rust controllers and shared frameworks, build simulators and test infrastructure, and diagnose failures that only appear against real hardware in a live lab.

Design and develop next-generation microfabricated Paul traps for scalable quantum computers, working with users to determine suitable layouts and acting as technical liaison with ion trap manufacturers. Perform electromagnetic and thermo-mechanical analysis and simulation, and collaborate with package designers on assembly procedures. The role also involves documenting designs and simulations.

Paul Traps

• Oxford
• Hybrid
• Senior

Hands-on staff engineering role building the control plane that schedules and prioritises quantum programs, arbitrates exclusive hardware access, streams results and records everything that ran across a fleet of trapped-ion quantum computers. Work spans Rust services, PostgreSQL persistence, crash recovery and scheduling frameworks, with deep diagnosis of live-system failures.

Design, build and test thermal control systems and electronic enclosure assemblies for ion-trap quantum devices, integrating mechanical designs with laser and electronic systems. Work within a multidisciplinary team of electrical engineers, physicists and quantum engineers, contributing to project planning, risk management and scheduling.

• Didcot
• On-site
• Senior
• Permanent

Design, build and characterise neutral-atom quantum computing hardware, including constructing a next-generation quantum computer at the Harwell campus. The role involves calibrating and improving QPU operation, investigating noise and decoherence, analysing experimental data, and collaborating with physicists, engineers and academic partners.
