Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Oxford Ionics Full time

The future is quantum. Oxford Ionics is a high-performance quantum computing company delivering world-leading innovations to create the most powerful, accurate and reliable quantum computers to solve the world's most important problems. Quantum Computing offers a radically new way of building computers that harnesses the power of quantum physics to outperform conventional supercomputers exponentially. Using our unique trapped-ion technology, we are at the forefront of the race to unleash the real potential of quantum computing.

What to expect

We are seeking an experienced Senior Lab Technician to strengthen our technical support team and facilitate the company's ongoing growth and future expansion plans. It's important to note that this is not a team lead position but a senior role within a highly experienced department. In this dynamic role, you will collaborate with our existing technical staff on cutting-edge quantum computing systems, supporting engineers and scientists on installations, upgrades, and research projects.

As a Senior Lab Technician, your day-to-day responsibilities will include assisting our Quantum Scientists with various research tasks and projects. More importantly, you will have the opportunity to take the lead on initiatives that align with your expertise, empowering you to contribute significantly to our team. In addition to the technical aspects of the position, you will work alongside other technicians to manage stock control, handle purchasing and supplier relations, produce technical documentation, and maintain a tidy and safe lab and workshop environment. This role also involves performing routine tasks necessary for the smooth operation of a well-organised lab.

We are seeking candidates with diverse practical technical skills to join our team. The ideal candidate will be able to take responsibility for tasks with minimal supervision and possess experience in several of the following areas: optics and fibre-optics (highly desirable), mechanical assembly, vacuum assembly, electrical wiring, electronic knowledge, working from mechanical and electrical drawings, electronics, surface mount componentry and PCBs, lasers, cryogenics, lab pressurised gases, microscope use, fine part handling and chilled water plant.

Additionally, it would be beneficial if you have further qualifications, experience, or skills, such as experience in a scientific support role or a commercial research environment, experience establishing new facilities, strong computer and IT skills, an advanced modern apprenticeship (Level 3) in Engineering or equivalent industrial experience, or an HNC (Level 4) or higher qualification in Engineering.

Oxford Ionics is at the cutting edge of quantum innovation. We need people like you with the necessary skills, vision and capability. In return, we'll recognise your engagement and excellence with a range of benefits. You'll find opportunities to further your career with a world-class team, business stock options, uncapped annual leave, flexible working hours, private medical and dental insurance for you and your family and much more.


Oxford Ionics is committed to equal opportunity for all.
