We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Materials Scientist to join our dynamic team. This role focuses on the development and optimisation of our graphene-based sensor technologies, contributing significantly to our sensor-making processes.

Dare to have a mission:

  1. Participate in research and development on carbon nanomaterials, particularly graphene, for use in sensor applications.
  2. Develop carbon nanomaterials-based inks for manufacturing of sensors.
  3. Work on the scalability of sensor fabrication processes, ensuring consistency and quality.
  4. Analyse and interpret data, write reports, and present findings to stakeholders.
  5. Stay abreast of industry trends and advancements in carbon nanomaterials science.
  6. Contribute to patent applications and academic publications as required.
  7. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet project goals and deadlines.
  8. Keep the materials inventory up to date and participate in the continuous improvement of the Health & Safety standards.

The tools in your backpack:

  1. BSc degree with minimum 2 years’ experience in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, or a related field.
  2. Proven experience in a laboratory environment and familiarity with COSHH guidelines.
  3. Experience in working with carbon nanomaterials, particularly graphene, is highly desirable.
  4. Experience in sensor technology and its applications is desirable.
  5. Experience in data analysis and scientific software tools.
  6. Excellent problem-solving, organisational, and communication skills.
  7. Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
  8. Experience in liquid deposition and instrumentation is considered an advantage.

Our recipe for a great work-life balance:

  1. A chance to be part of a pioneering team in a rapidly growing technology company.
  2. Competitive salary and options package.
  3. Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  4. Collaborative and innovative work culture.
  5. Working with people who love what they do and want to make the world a better place.

Why Join Us?

How Many Quantum Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Quantum Computing Job?

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology — and the job market reflects that excitement. But for aspiring practitioners, the sheer number of tools, frameworks, programming languages and hardware platforms can feel overwhelming. One job advert mentions Qiskit, another talks about Cirq or Pennylane. You see references to quantum annealers and superconducting qubits, to measurement hardware and simulators, to noise mitigation libraries and cloud platforms. It’s easy to conclude that unless you master every quantum tool, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most quantum computing hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real problems and explain why your solutions work. Tools matter, but context, understanding, judgement and results matter more. So how many quantum computing tools do you actually need to know to succeed in a job search? The real answer is significantly fewer than most people assume — and far more focused by role. This article breaks down what tools really matter in quantum jobs, which ones are core, which are role-specific, and how you can build a coherent toolkit that employers actually value.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Quantum Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

Quantum computing is one of the fastest-evolving fields in technology, blending physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Roles in this space — from Quantum Algorithm Developer and Quantum Software Engineer to Quantum Research Scientist and Quantum Hardware Specialist — are highly sought after, and hiring managers are exceptionally selective. Because quantum computing is complex and multidisciplinary, recruiters and hiring managers look for clear, concrete evidence of relevant expertise and impact right at the start of your application. They often decide whether to read your CV in detail within the first 10–20 seconds, based on a handful of high-value signals. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in quantum computing applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to optimise your application to get noticed in the UK quantum job market.

Riverlane Jobs in Quantum Computing

If you’re looking for Riverlane jobs in quantum computing, you’re aiming at one of the most important layers in the quantum stack: quantum error correction (QEC). In simple terms, Riverlane focuses on the software, methods & tooling that help quantum computers produce reliable results despite noise. That matters because as quantum hardware scales, the ability to correct errors becomes the difference between “interesting experiments” and “useful quantum computing”. This guide is written for UK job seekers who want to understand: what Riverlane does (in job-seeker language) the roles they hire for the skills that map best to their work how to tailor your CV & LinkedIn how to prepare for interviews how to find & land Riverlane vacancies in the UK You do not need to be a quantum PhD to have a realistic pathway in. But you do need to understand the problem they’re solving & position your experience around it.
