Specifications with domain-specific extensions to define and standardize interfaces and behaviors that enable application portability.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR:

  • 20+ years of deep expertise in quantum computing and quantum risk
  • Executive level experience in computer science
  • Academic level training in computer science
  • Hands-on experience in computer science
  • Proven experience in defending against cyber attacks across all departmental networks, e.g., Department of Defense on first cyber command, the joint task force for computer network defense
  • Executive level experience in implementing solutions in defense intelligence agencies
  • Extensive experience in harvest now and decrypt later attacks

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Advise the board on comprehensive assessments of how data is stored across the Bullisher organization
  • Implement user identity and authorization management
  • Identify the most critical or valuable digital assets/capabilities, understand vulnerability to quantum attacks, and assess potential repercussions of such attacks
  • Conduct pilot programs integrating quantum capabilities into IT security infrastructure and applications
  • NIST SP 800-171 implementations for 2024 and beyond
  • Implement roadmap and deploy and operate hybrid infrastructure integration
  • Establish/fast track processes for advanced/centralized systems enabled technologies to achieve certifications necessary for procurement
  • Increase quantum tech literacy by upskilling the workforce, e.g., implement a quantum safe technology as an additional layer of security to our existing ones
  • Amplify the security protection against harvest now and decrypt later attacks

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • PhDin Computer Science /PhDin Mathematical Cryptography
  • Mastersin Quantum Computing
  • Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is essential
  • Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP)
  • Information Assurance System Architecture and Engineer (IASAE) is essential
  • Certified Authorization Professional (CAP)
  • It is a prerequisite to be certified in one of the listed DoD 8570 Certifications

INTERVIEW PROCESS:

  • STAGE 1: COGNITIVE ABILITY TEST
  • STAGE 2: COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT SCREENING WITH A 30+ YEARS EXPERIENCE PSYCHOLOGIST
  • STAGE 3: PRE-SCREENING (verification checks & DV security clearance)
  • STAGE 4: INTERVIEW WITH THE CEO & GC

Contract vs Permanent Quantum Computing Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Quantum computing, once purely theoretical, has become one of the most dynamic fields in modern technology. Innovations in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, and quantum-safe cryptography hold the potential to transform everything from drug discovery and supply chain optimisation to secure communications and advanced AI. Across the United Kingdom, start-ups, research labs, and established tech giants are vying for quantum talent, driving up both day‑rates for contractors and salary packages for permanent staff. For professionals with quantum expertise—whether that is in hardware engineering, algorithm design, quantum error correction, or quantum software development—the question arises: Is it better to work as a day‑rate contractor, accept a fixed-term contract (FTC), or pursue a permanent position? Which path offers the most competitive pay by 2025, and which one aligns with long-term career aspirations? This guide explores the unique opportunities, challenges, and earning potential across these three types of quantum computing employment. By examining sample take‑home pay scenarios and broader considerations (like job security, IR35, and career development), you will be better equipped to decide which pathway leads to success in this burgeoning industry.

Quantum‑Computing Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Welcome to the Quantum Decade—No Lab Coat Needed Quantum computing is crossing the chasm from physics lab to boardroom. The UK Government’s £2.5 billion National Quantum Strategy (2023‑2033) backs this transition, building the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) at Harwell and funding dozens of start‑ups such as Riverlane, Quantum Motion and Phasecraft. Analysts at GlobalData estimate that by 2030 the UK quantum sector could support 65,000 jobs and add £5 billion to GDP. Yet a stubborn myth prevails: “Quantum jobs are only for PhDs in superconducting physics.” The reality? Almost 45 % of current quantum‑computing vacancies prioritise commercial, programme or policy skills rather than qubit calibration (UK Quantum Skills Survey 2024). Venture investors now ask founders, “Great chip. Who’s your product manager? Who will navigate export controls?” If your strengths lie in storytelling, governance, project delivery or ecosystem building, quantum needs you—no Dirac notation required. This guide spotlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, real career‑switch stories, and an actionable 90‑day plan to land a role in Britain’s quantum future.

Oxford Instruments Quantum‑Computing Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Building the Hardware of the Quantum Era

Before a superconducting qubit ever executes a gate, it must be cooled to 10 millikelvin, shielded from stray photons and measured with sub‑attoamp precision. For more than 65 years, Oxford Instruments (OI) has supplied the cryostats, magnets and nano‑analysis tools that make cutting‑edge physics possible. Today, its NanoScience division powers quantum labs at Google, IBM, IQM and UK‑RI’s National Quantum Computing Centre. From Proteox dilution refrigerators to Triton X dry systems and Teslatron superconducting magnets, OI hardware is the quiet hero behind nearly every major quantum breakthrough. With a global headcount of ~2,200 and annual revenue topping £450 m, Oxford Instruments continues to scale—especially in quantum‑tech manufacturing, field service and R&D. The careers portal lists roles across engineering, physics, software and customer success. Whether you want to design ultra‑low‑noise amplifiers, debug fridge wiring at 20 mK or model spin‑qubit devices, this guide explains how to land an Oxford Instruments quantum‑computing job in 2025.
