About The Role and Team

The Intelligent Automation Team develops the software that controls, and optimises our Quantum Processing Units. Working in close partnership with the Quantum Hardware Team, this group works to enable our processors to perform at their limits. Their work transforms raw quantum hardware into a usable platform by leveraging traditional software engineering alongside machine learning and other optimisation techniques. Together, these teams form the engine room of Quantum Motion’s technology, bridging physics, engineering, and computation to unlock the next generation of quantum capability.

As a member of our evolving scale-up, you’ll help shape the next stage of quantum computing. We’re still a small team, which means your expertise will directly influence our technology, our culture, and our trajectory, while giving you room to grow as we scale.

Our Team

This role forms part of our investment in state-of-the art facilities in Maryland, US. It reflects our commitment to driving innovation and collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the quantum industry, and additionally taps into the strong semiconductor and cryogenic ecosystem. Our mission is global and this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a team which is shaping the future of quantum computing.

As part of our lean, high-impact and rapidly growing team, you will be working closely with our scientists, engineers and experts in a dynamic environment to make the site run smoothly and compliantly from day one, dedicated to contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

Functions of the Role

  • Work with experimental experts to benchmark and optimise quantum processors based on spins in silicon quantum dots
  • Develop automated calibration routines for long term maintenance of QPU performance
  • Devise measurement and analysis roadmaps to test and optimise quantum operations

Experience - Essentials

  • PhD degree in physics, chemistry, or engineering
  • Proven track record of leadership in dynamical characterisation and control of spin qubits in solid-state systems
  • Experience in defining research goals and leading teams toward successful technical outcomes

  • Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical strategies to stakeholders, write grant applications, and author technical reports

Experience - Desirable

  • Strong experience with machine learning techniques and their application to complex physical systems.
  • Demonstrated capability in benchmarking quantum systems using methods such as randomised benchmarking and gate-set tomography.
  • Proven team leadership and people-management skills, including supervising technical staff and guiding cross-functional research efforts.
  • Experience mentoring junior researchers and effectively supervising research students to support their academic and professional development.
  • Skilled in the simulation of spin-based quantum systems and the dynamical characterisation of silicon-based nanoelectronic devices.
  • Hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting deep cryogenic measurement systems.
  • Experience with the dynamical characterisation silicon-based nanoelectronic devices
  • Ability to supervise research students

Benefits

  • Be part of a creative, world-leading team
  • Competitive salary and share options scheme
  • Region-specific benefits (e.g. Health Insurance)

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.
