Quantum Engineer - Up to £50,000 dependent on experience
Opportunity
Our team builds software which implements, validates and optimises low-level quantum operations. We work closely with other engineers and scientists in our quantum control and hardware teams in order to improve gate fidelity, reduce latency and introduce greater control and measurement functionality into our technology stack.
You would have gained a Masters and started working in industry or completed a PhD. You will have an interest in engineering solutions to varied problems, a passion for learning and a desire to work in a multidisciplinary and open team. You are a good fit if you have enjoyed coding projects, self-motivated research, and communicating your learnings and ideas back to your peers. You may have considered continuing to postgraduate study; lots of what we work on might have taken place in academic labs and institutions a few years ago. If you have experience setting up and debugging hardware for RF/microwave measurements or experience characterizing and calibrating qubits, we’re keen to hear from you, however this is not essential.
Skills and experience
To join our team as a Quantum Engineer, you will have:
* Relevant Masters with industry experience or PhD
* Experience working in a team environment
* Experience solving technical challenges independently and as a team
* Experience setting up experiments
* Good knowledge of coding in Python or Matlab
Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have solid experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
