About The Role and Team

Our rotation programme is a unique opportunity to be trained as an entry-level quantum engineer over one intensive year. You’ll work on real hardware challenges at a fast-paced scale-up, learning from industry leading engineers building silicon-based quantum computers.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll contribute to the development of large-scale quantum systems, troubleshooting cryogenic setups, validating control hardware, characterising devices, and solving practical engineering problems for building at scale.

We’re looking for recent Masters graduates in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, or engineers from adjacent industries (e.g., semiconductors, RF/microwave, cryogenics, photonics) looking to transition into quantum. You should have demonstrated lab or hardware experience. We need to see that you’ve built, measured, or debugged physical systems, plus sufficient programming skills for instrument control and data analysis.

Applications will be first reviewed on Monday 30th of March 2026, and monthly thereafter.

Our Team

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times, and our technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. We’re backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology

Our team of 100+ is based in Oxford and London, with a centre of mass in our Islington lab.

Functions of the Role

You will experience three technical domains, such as experimental quantum hardware, quantum integration, IC validation, and intelligent automation during 4-month rotations. For each rotation, you will be designated a Technical Supervisor. You will also have a dedicated mentor throughout the programme. During the three rotations, you will contribute to innovative research by working on practical lab-based projects, such as:

  • The design, validation, and measurement of quantum devices based on SiMOS spin qubit technology.
  • The design and test of integrated circuits operating at deep-cryogenic temperatures (4 Kelvin and below).
  • The characterisation of superconducting support electronics.
  • The experimental test and development of software for efficient data acquisition and analysis, including software that interfaces with test hardware.

The programme also entails an initial crash-course in applied quantum mechanics, quantum dots, CMOS fabrication, and state-of-the-art challenges via lectures, tutorials, and practicals.

Experience - Essentials

  • Top tier education, minimum 2.1 UK degree classification or 3.7 US GPA (or equivalent) Master’s degree in the fields of Physics, Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline, ideally having attended courses in some of the following areas: Analog / Digital IC Design, including RF System Validation, Digital Design Verification, Digital Circuits, ASIC Physical Design Quantum information Semiconductor devices
  • Demonstrated experimental skills, data analysis and preparation of technical reports and presentations
  • Knowledge of scripted data acquisition software, such as Python or Matlab
  • Ability to work in a team
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Curious, proactive and adaptable

Experience - Desirable

  • Experience in circuit design and validation
  • Experience with electrical testing equipment (Voltage sources, current meters, oscilloscopes, lock-in amplifiers, VNAs)
  • Experience with the use of cryogenic measurement systems

Benefits

  • Be part of a creative, world-leading team
  • Competitive salary
  • Select your own laptop/kit
  • Cycle-to-work Scheme
  • Flexible working.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
