Job Title: Research Engineer in Quantum Optics / Photonics

Imagine a future where a single test unlocks the full story of your health. That’s the transformative vision we’re bringing to life. We are a deeptech company developing a revolutionary technology to analyse all blood components in a single test, using a single machine. By rethinking the limits of current blood analysis methods—which depend on labour-intensive, costly, and targeted approaches—we aim to make advanced healthcare more accessible, affordable, and precise. This is your chance to work at the intersection of quantum physics and medical innovation, driving forward a revolution in how we understand and treat disease.
Key Responsibilities:

Lead the design and assembly of the experimental setup tailored to quantum-light applications for biology.
Generate and manipulate quantum states of light, including entangled photons, and work with multiple photon bin structures such as time-bin, polarization-bin, and frequency-bin states.
Collaborate closely with technical leadership to align quantum optics strategies with broader technological goals.
Participate in iterative prototype development, refining experimental approaches and implementing optimizations to improve the reliability and scalability of the setup. Qualifications and Skills:

PhD in Quantum Optics, Quantum Photonics, or a closely related field.
Postdoctoral experience preferred, with a strong experimental background in designing and managing quantum optics or photonics setups. Why Join Us?

Work on a cutting-edge field and explore one of the most promising areas in modern physics, with direct impact on people’s lives.
Gain expertise in cross-disciplinary fields such as biology, medicine, and healthcare.
Contribute to breaking down a deeply rooted technological limitation with potential applications across multiple industries. What We Offer:

Competitive salary aligned with your experience and profile.
Equity in the company. Location and Start Date:

This position is based in Paris, France.
The role opens in two months, with flexibility on the exact start date based on the candidate's availability

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.
