About The Role and Team

This role forms part of our global investment in state-of-the art facilities across London (UK), Sydney (Australia), San Sebastián (Spain) and Maryland (the US). It reflects our commitment to driving innovation and collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the quantum industry, and additionally taps into the regional strengths in semiconductors and cryogenics around the world.

Our mission is global, and this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a team which is shaping the future of quantum computing, while also contributing to the development of European quantum technologies by joining the SPINs project to build up quantum PDKs.

As part of our high-impact and rapidly growing team, you will be working closely with our scientists, engineers and experts in a dynamic environment to make the site run smoothly and compliantly from day one, dedicated to contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

Our Team

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

Our team of 110+ is based in the UK (Oxford and London), Australia (Sydney), Spain (San Sebastián) and the US.

Functions of the Role

As part of our lean, high-impact and rapidly growing team, you will be working closely with our scientists, engineers and experts in a dynamic environment dedicated to contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology. Specifically, you will contribute to the EU-funded project SPINs (the European pilot line industrializing semiconductor spin-qubit quantum chips) launched under the EU Chips Act and the Chips Joint Undertaking. Your role will focus on developing quantum PDKs for semiconductor-based spin qubits.

As an Senior Quantum Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and execution of experiments focused on silicon-based quantum systems, while focusing on the investigation of thermal management in quantum chips, assessing the impact of control peripherals on QPU operations.
