Quantum Engineer - QPU Design

Quantum Engineer - QPU Design - £55k - £70 (DoE)

As a senior quantum engineer focused on QPU design, you will have conducted scientific research or engineering on superconducting quantum processors, either in an academic research lab or within the deep tech industry. You will also have experience in team collaboration and comparing experimental results from other teams or comparing your own results to experiments/theory/literature.

Using your PhD or industry experience, you will have a background designing superconducting components for quantum processors or relevant knowledge from a similar background. Experience with superconducting resonators, qubits, or amplifiers is an advantage.

Skills + Experience

To become part of OQC's Science and Research group, you will have:

• Relevant PhD or Master's degree with industry experience
• Good knowledge of Python programming
• Familiarity with finite solvers such as HFSS, Sonnet, or Comsol
• Experience of working independently and taking direction from more senior quantum engineers or research engineers
• Experience performing simulations of superconducting devices, including electromagnetic finite element modeling and/or quantum physics simulations
• Proven track record of owning research projects involving quantum systems or similar technology

Any experience with RF/Microwave measurements and simulations in quantum or RF properties in superconducting qubits will be beneficial.

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.
