Machine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantum

Join to apply for theMachine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantumrole atQuantinuum

Quantinuum is building a new AI team, currently comprising 14 employees, and is talent pooling for future roles. Please register your interest to be considered for upcoming opportunities. Note that responses may be delayed as current positions are filled.

Designing, building, programming, and using quantum computers pose numerous challenges. Modern AI methods show promise in addressing these challenges, requiring quantum computing scientists to identify use cases and design experiments.

As a Machine Learning Scientist in the AI for Quantum team, your role involves designing ML experiments in collaboration with ML engineers and quantum scientists, developing tools and frameworks to apply AI techniques to quantum computing, and solving complex problems in the quantum stack. You will have access to Quantinuum’s top-tier quantum computers, with applications including circuit optimization, quantum algorithm design, and error mitigation or correction strategies.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will utilize state-of-the-art methods alongside quantum scientists to solve problems such as circuit compilation, error-correcting code discovery, and demonstrating quantum advantage by integrating quantum computers with AI systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Research novel use cases of machine learning and AI for quantum program synthesis.
  • Identify high-impact problems that Quantinuum can solve.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product management, and architecture teams.
  • Present at scientific, technical, and industry conferences as needed.

Key Requirements:

  • Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or related fields, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience applying AI to scientific problems.
  • Previous quantum computing experience.
  • Knowledge of literature on quantum advantage.

Desirable Skills:

  • Knowledge of quantum computing concepts or related fields like quantum many-body physics.
  • Experience with large-scale machine learning, including language models and reinforcement learning.
  • Experience with high-performance computing platforms.

What’s in it for you?

Work with a talented team in the quantum computing industry. We offer a competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday, pension, flexible working, and parental benefits.

About Us:

Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, pioneering quantum hardware and software solutions. With around 500 employees, including 370+ scientists and engineers, we drive breakthroughs across multiple sectors. We recently secured $300M in funding. Learn more atour news page.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. Employment is contingent on passing pre-employment screening.

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

Quantum computing is no longer a future concept—it’s a fast-growing industry with real-world applications in materials science, cryptography, optimisation, and drug discovery. As the UK doubles down on its National Quantum Strategy, demand for quantum computing talent is surging across academia, startups, and enterprise R&D. Welcome to the Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the programming languages, frameworks, libraries & platforms shaping the UK quantum jobs market. Whether you’re transitioning from physics, software engineering or data science, this radar shows you what to learn to stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.
