Associate Quantum Engineer

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started and we’ve recently closed our £260 million Series C funding round – the largest fundraise ever completed by a quantum computing company in Europe.

The Purpose

As an Associate Quantum Engineer, you'll help integrate novel hardware and software into the experimental systems that power OQC's quantum technology. Working alongside engineers and scientists across quantum control and hardware, you'll turn new ideas into working prototypes, proving out capabilities that can ultimately be scaled and deployed.

The Role

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys experimental physics, hardware, coding and solving varied technical problems. You'll develop the experimental methods and systems needed to build superconducting quantum testbeds, using cryogenic and microwave measurements, automation and data analysis to understand and improve system performance.

You'll be part of a multidisciplinary, collaborative team where you'll have the opportunity to learn quickly, take ownership of technical challenges and contribute to increasingly sophisticated quantum hardware.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Turn system requirements into working prototypes that demonstrate new capabilities and reduce technical risk.
  • Characterise, calibrate and benchmark novel hardware, with a particular focus on readout and reset operations.
  • Design, develop and run experimental procedures across integrated superconducting systems.
  • Use cryogenic and microwave measurements, automation and data analysis to understand and improve system performance.
  • Contribute to technical projects from experimental design and system build through to analysis, reporting and recommendations.
  • Collaborate across quantum control and hardware teams to define requirements, resolve system-level challenges and improve device robustness.
  • Share technical knowledge across the team and contribute to scientific publications, conferences and collaborative programmes.

What We're Looking For

  • Experimental physics experience and a strong motivation to work hands-on with complex technical systems.
  • Practical experience with scientific measurement and quantitative data analysis.
  • Experience using Python for scientific analysis.
  • The ability to independently investigate technical problems, draw evidence-based conclusions and communicate clear recommendations.
  • Experience taking technical work or projects through experimentation, analysis and documentation.
  • Curiosity, self-motivation and enthusiasm for learning within a multidisciplinary engineering and scientific environment.

The 'Nice-to-Haves'

  • An undergraduate degree in physical sciences, engineering or a related discipline.
  • Laboratory experience, particularly with RF or cryogenic systems.
  • Experience working with quantum control hardware.
  • Experience communicating scientific or technical information through presentations, reports or similar formats.
  • Experience working collaboratively within technical or scientific teams.

Why Join OQC

You will join a world-class team at the forefront of the next computational era. We offer a culture of bold innovation, the chance to work with unique lab infrastructure, and the opportunity to see your work redefine the limits of computation.

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.
