The posting

RF 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 RF Engineer, you'll design, develop and optimise the RF solutions at the heart of OQC's quantum computing systems. Combining passive RF and PCB design expertise with microwave simulation, prototyping and hands-on testing, you'll create robust control and readout solutions that enable both cutting-edge R&D and the deployment of commercial quantum computers.

The Role

Working within our Advanced Product Development team, you'll take RF solutions from requirements and simulation through prototyping, characterisation and deployment. You'll design RF circuitry, PCBs and packaging, optimise microwave performance and work across hardware teams to ensure solutions integrate successfully into OQC's wider technical stack.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll combine deep RF knowledge with practical design and testing, owning technical decisions and continuously improving the performance of our RF systems.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Design and develop passive RF/microwave circuitry, PCBs and packaging for quantum control and readout systems.
  • Translate engineering requirements into RF designs that deliver the required signal performance while managing electromagnetic interference.
  • Simulate, prototype and characterise RF solutions using microwave analysis tools, FEA, electromagnetic (EM) tools and laboratory instrumentation.
  • Optimise signal integrity, signal-to-noise performance, filtering and microwave I/O performance through iterative design and testing.
  • Analyse test results and independently identify opportunities to improve existing RF designs, components and testing approaches.
  • Own RF solutions through technical validation, documentation, supplier engagement and handover into OQC's live quantum computing systems.
  • Collaborate across hardware, engineering and supply chain teams, providing RF expertise and supporting technical installations in the UK and internationally.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong practical experience working with RF and microwave technology, ideally in the 4-10 GHz range
  • Hands-on experience designing passive RF systems and components, alongside PCB design experience.
  • Strong understanding of RF/microwave principles, theory and design techniques.
  • Experience designing, simulating, prototyping and testing RF or microwave circuitry and systems,
  • Experience using electronic design, FEA, electromagnetic (EM) simulation, and microwave analysis tools.
  • Ability to gather technical requirements, translate them into practical designs and clearly communicate design progress and results.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use experimental data to drive design improvements.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics or a related discipline.

The 'Nice-to-Haves'

  • Experience with ANSYS or similar electronic simulation and analysis tools.
  • Experience with PCB layout would be advantageous
  • Experience designing RF solutions for cryogenic environments or working with cryogenic components.
  • Experience working with analogue/digital converters and DSP.
  • Python or similar scripting experience for analysis, automation or testing.
  • Experience supporting RF hardware through deployment into live technical systems.

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.
