The posting

Configuration Engineer

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality—and we’re just getting started.

The Purpose

Ensure the hardware information behind OQC’s quantum computers is accurate, controlled and fully traceable throughout the engineering lifecycle.

As a Configuration Engineer, you’ll own day-to-day configuration data, engineering Bills of Materials and hardware release records. You’ll support effective design governance and change control while helping mature and standardise the PLM and PDM processes that enable our engineering teams to release hardware information efficiently and reliably.

The Role

Working within Engineering Operations and reporting to the Head of Design Engineering, you’ll sit at the intersection of Engineering, Operations and Supply Chain. You’ll manage the information that defines released hardware configurations, ensuring product structures, drawings, specifications and revisions remain complete, consistent and traceable.

You’ll work across Arena PLM, SolidWorks PDM, CAD data and downstream systems, resolving discrepancies and supporting Engineering Change Request and Engineering Change Order workflows. You’ll also spend regular time in laboratory and workshop environments to understand physical hardware builds and ensure deviations, part usage and configuration changes are reflected accurately in released records.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Structure and maintain accurate multi-level engineering Bills of Materials, ensuring product structures reflect released engineering intent.
  • Maintain hardware release records and configuration data across components, assemblies and product revisions.
  • Facilitate Engineering Change Request and Engineering Change Order workflows, ensuring changes are properly recorded, progressed and traceable.
  • Review technical release packages for completeness and configuration accuracy before drawings, specifications and engineering data are released.
  • Administer Arena PLM and SolidWorks PDM workflows, including lifecycle states, routing, permissions and configuration data.
  • Maintain alignment across CAD, PDM, PLM and downstream systems, working with functional owners to resolve data and configuration discrepancies.
  • Improve configuration-management, engineering-change and hardware-release processes by developing clearer workflows, guidance and conventions.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience managing engineering product data, configuration information or Bills of Materials.
  • Experience working with formal engineering change-control processes.
  • Hands-on experience using PLM or PDM systems for day-to-day engineering-data management.
  • Experience identifying and resolving BOM, release-data or configuration discrepancies across multiple teams.
  • Strong technical-document and release-management skills.
  • A clear understanding of data accuracy, revision control and configuration traceability.
  • Strong problem-solving, planning and organisational skills.
  • The ability to communicate effectively with engineering, operations and supply-chain stakeholders.
  • Excellent attention to detail, adaptability and a willingness to share knowledge with colleagues.
  • Strong hands-on technical experience within engineering operations, configuration management or a related environment. A relevant engineering or operations degree would be beneficial.

The ‘Nice-to-Haves’

  • Experience administering PLM or PDM workflows, lifecycle states, user permissions or release processes.
  • Hands-on experience with Arena PLM and SolidWorks PDM.
  • Knowledge of CAD-to-PDM or PLM integrations and engineering-data relationships.
  • Familiarity with ERP integration or downstream manufacturing-data flows.
  • Experience maintaining or contributing to manufacturing Bills of Materials.
  • Experience configuring PLM or PDM workflows and supporting CAD, ERP or manufacturing-system integrations.

Why Join OQC

You’ll join an Engineering Operations team supporting the development and release of highly complex quantum-computing hardware. This is an opportunity to work closely with both engineering data and physical products, improving the controls that connect design intent with real-world hardware builds.

You’ll have the chance to shape and mature OQC’s configuration-management processes, improve consistency across multiple engineering systems and help create the reliable product information needed to develop and scale our quantum technology.

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.
