Head of Quantum Hardware

Are you someone who enjoys using your research mindset to explore and innovate? Do you want to collaborate with committed people and achieve results together to develop truly human centric innovation?


Well, here at Fujitsu Research of Europe (FRE), we are combining research and industrial innovation to transform businesses and society. FRE is a multidisciplinary center which, as part of Fujitsu’s global R&D activity, conducts research and innovation – achieving together whilst supporting our employees. We are looking for a Quantum Computing (QC) Researcher who will research applications and algorithms that will be used to strengthen Fujitsu’s quantum computing offerings in various fields such finance, healthcare, social infrastructure and beyond.


Your role will involve:


  • Conducting research on quantum algorithms and applications of quantum computing
  • Collaborating with researchers from FRE and from our overseas laboratories (in Japan, India or USA) and external academic partners
  • Generating IP and publishing work in top academic conferences and journals


Your role will be based in the UK but will require international travel on an ad-hoc basis. You will report into both the local Group Manager in FRE and the Project Director in our Laboratories in Japan.


Your experience


To be suitable for this opportunity, you will be pro-active in your approach, adaptable and able to demonstrate that you have:


  • PhD (or MSc and equivalent experience) in a relevant field: physics, mathematics, computer science or related
  • Academic background in Quantum Information Theory would be a plus
  • A track record of substantial contributions to research projects in Quantum Computing or a related field
  • Strong programing skills, familiarity with quantum SDKs such as Qiskit, Pennylane or pytket
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills


Achieve together


We want the best people on our team, so we welcome and encourage applications from people with a diverse variety of experiences, backgrounds and identities. The role may demand some flexibility to meet business needs, within a culture of respect for professional and private commitments. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all.

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.
