We are looking for graduates from Physics, with knowledge of Photonics, Optics, Lasers, Imaging, or Cryogenics to embark on a career in Technical Sales.

Applications welcome from BSc / MSc / PhD Physics / Photonics / Optics / Lasers / Imaging / Cryogenics.

Joining leading providers of Photonics / Optic and Imaging equipment as their Graduate Internal Sales Engineers, you will learn from the Internal and Field Sales Team, whilst liaising with customers on a daily basis via phone, email and video.

As you learn and develop within the role, you will become familiar with the product ranges and the customers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn while working, whilst making use of your technical learning in a consultative sales environment.

There will be opportunities in the future for progression into Sales Engineer and Field Sales positions.

Experience and Qualifications required:

A Bachelors or Masters or PhD in Physics - Photonics, Optics, Lasers, Imaging, Instrumentation or Cryogenics, is essential.

To succeed in a Graduate Internal Sales role, you should enjoy working with customers, be ready to learn, have a "hunger" to achieve.

Interviews will be held quickly, with a view to the successful candidate joining immediately.

Essential: Candidates MUST hold a UK Passport / ILR / Pre Settled / Settled Status. Full right to work in UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future is essential.

Candidates MUST hold a full clean UK Driving Licence.

Quantum Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the quantum computing jobs market in the UK is shifting from hype to harder-edged reality. The wildest forecasts have softened, some early-stage start-ups have pivoted or been acquired, and investors are more selective. At the same time, governments, big tech, defence, finance and pharma still see quantum as strategically important – especially in algorithms, quantum-safe cryptography, optimisation and materials simulation. The result: fewer “blue-sky” roles with no clear roadmap, and more demand for quantum talent that can plug into real programmes, real products and real timelines. Whether you’re a quantum job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams across hardware, software, theory or adjacent fields, understanding the key quantum computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.
