Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Quantum Engineer to join our team at Oxford Quantum Circuits. As a Quantum Engineer, you will be responsible for researching, designing, measuring, and characterising quantum computing hardware. You will work closely with our fabrication team to develop methods for designing, building, and optimising commercial quantum processors.

Responsibilities

  • Design and simulate quantum processors for improved operation, including low-error quantum gates and fast, high-fidelity readout.
  • Microwave measurements and characterisation of superconducting quantum circuits in continuous-wave and pulsed operation, including processor calibration and benchmarking.
  • Operation of quantum processing support-infrastructure, including dilution refrigerators, control electronics, and cryogenic refrigeration.
  • Experience of qubit readout with dispersively coupled resonators.
  • Knowledge of cryogenic system up-keep, including specifications and sourcing RF components for cryogenic systems.
  • Measuring/simulating physical systems with electrical or quantum components.
  • Scientific analysis of design & processor limitations.
  • Ability to distil and communicate scientific information effectively with the wider team.
  • Align development of physical quantum systems, looking into fabrication side and theoretical quantum engineering.
  • Running experiments to support our R&D efforts with regular input into OQC's evolving technology development roadmap.
  • Assure operational excellence of our Quantum Computers.
  • Engage with customers and partners, creation and maintenance of process documentation, project plans, and reports.
  • Representing OQC in scientific settings, such as conferences, as part of collaborative consortia, and through the authorship of publications.

Candidate Requirements

  • Relevant PhD or Masters within quantum research or industry experience.
  • Be confident contributing ideas on how to improve experimental setups, to improve performance and innovate our technology.
  • Have the ability to work independently or within a team collaborating on projects.
  • Highly adaptable, good communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Experience of Python scripting/coding.

Culture

OQC is a values-driven organisation. All team members are expected to strive to demonstrate respect, resilience, reflection, and a recognition that we move forward and perform our best when we are working in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Location & Travel

This role is based at OQC's offices, located in Reading, Berkshire. Our hybrid working model requires 2 days per week in the office. Some travel will be required to visit our company offices (UK & Japan).
