EntryFull TimeEN
Our rotation programme is a unique opportunity to kickstart your profession in industrial quantum engineering. This is an entry-level role with one year of training for those who want to become a quantum engineer.
Successful candidates will join a fast-paced scale-up, be trained by industry leaders, and build experience tackling hands-on engineering challenges critical to developing large-scale, silicon-based quantum computers.
We encourage applicants who are interested in beginning a career in quantum engineering and have demonstrated experimental experience and programming knowledge.
The position will particularly suit a recent Masters graduate (e.g. MEng, MPhys or MSc) in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, who would like to start a career in developing quantum computing hardware.
We invite you to read our blog post, which outlines this year’s application process and key deadlines for the programme.You will work closely with and rotate between teams such as Quantum Hardware, Quantum Integration & IC Validation, and Intelligent Automation. For each rotation, you will be designated a Technical Supervisor. You will also have a dedicated Programme Supervisor throughout the year for mentorship and coaching.
During the three rotations, you will contribute to innovative research by working on lab-based projects, such as:
The design, validation, and measurement of quantum devices based on silicon (CMOS) technology.
The design and test of integrated circuits operating at deep-cryogenic temperatures (4 Kelvin and below).
The characterisation of superconducting support electronics.
The experimental test and development of software for efficient data acquisition and analysis, including software that interfaces with test hardware.
The programme also entails an initial crash-course in applied quantum mechanics, quantum dots, CMOS fabrication, and state-of-the-art challenges via lectures, tutorials, and practicals.
Top tier education, minimum 2.1 UK degree classification or 3.7 US GPA (or equivalent) Master’s degree in the fields of Physics, Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline, ideally having attended courses in some of the following areas:
Analog / Digital IC Design, including RF System Validation, Digital Design Verification, Digital Circuits, ASIC Physical Design
