Responsibilities

· Interface with design engineers and physicists in designing of quantum systems such as quantum key distribution appliances, or entanglement distribution architectures and design and algorithms.

· Make recommendations for business development managers on real-world quantum systems that could be created for use in commercial products.

· Perform requirements and what-if type analysis and decomposition to determine and derive technical requirements for/from customers and ensure the compliance of the system and its products.

· Designing test systems, developing system, software algorithms, to verify and check systems development processes.

· Responsibility for subsystem/component level design and architectural decisions, and defining, supervising, and evaluating trade-off studies justifying decisions.

Key Skills and Qualifications

· Master’s degree in Physics (quantum physics, condensed matter physics, particle or atomic physics), or Engineering Physics with specialization in quantum and atomic systems. Knowledge of quantum information systems is an asset.

· 5-10+ years of experience in a hands-on, product design and build environment, as a systems architect or designer, preferably involving the design of quantum systems, with hands-on debugging and testing experience. This could be in a commercial company, start-up or academic incubator hub.

· Software skills for analysis using engineering and mathematical commercial tools (MATLAB, Ansys, Zeemax , as well as the ability to write custom analysis code in any language of your preference (C++, Python or others).

· Excellent written and oral skills for presentation and communication of the work performed – providing explanations to leadership and to cross-functional design teams. Work will include writing documents, white papers, presentations.

· Ability to proactively identify and resolve problems in a timely manner. Excellent time management skills, to meet deadlines.

Our offer

·A culture that fosters inclusion, diversity, and innovation in an international work environment

Quantum Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Quantum Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills across quantum computing, communications, sensing and cryptography — and how to get hired. In the UK, most quantum jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol and Edinburgh, with common titles including Quantum Software Engineer, Quantum Algorithm Developer, Quantum Hardware Engineer and Post‑Quantum Cryptography Specialist. The easiest way to browse live quantum jobs is via specialist boards like QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in general STEM listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about quantum jobs in the UK in 2026: what roles exist, which skills are in demand, typical salary ranges, and how to position yourself to get hired.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise quantum computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and consortia that reach quantum hardware and Qiskit talent. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
