Engineering Graduate Scheme 2027 at Riverlane, Cambridge, UK (remote). A mid-level full time position in the Graduate Opportunities team, listed under research.
About the role
Riverlane’s Engineering Graduate Scheme is designed for graduates in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Engineering, Physics, Maths and related subjects who want to build a career in quantum computing.
You will join us as a permanent, full-time employee at our head office in Cambridge, UK. During your first 12 months, you will rotate through Engineering teams, gaining hands‑on experience of different technical challenges and approaches to developing QEC technology. Your work throughout the scheme will focus on engineering, in close collaboration with research teams and learn how research is translated into working technology.
You will have a dedicated supervisor to support you through your rotations and help you develop your technical and professional skills. You will take on meaningful work from the outset, while learning from experienced colleagues across our multidisciplinary team.
You do not need a background in quantum computing. You will have the opportunity to learn about QEC as part of the scheme.
At the end of the programme year, you will move into an Engineering team or Engineering Research role to continue developing your career at Riverlane.
What we need
A completed or in-progress Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related subject.
Graduation in 2026 or expected graduation in 2027.
Evidence of strong technical skills and creative problem-solving through academic work, research, personal projects or other relevant experience.
Experience with at least one programming language, preferably C++ or Python.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.
The ability to take initiative and work effectively as part of a team.
An interest in applying your skills in an industrial setting and a strong desire to learn.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop and improve software or hardware tools used in quantum computing and QEC
- Contribute to engineering projects from initial design through implementation, testing and improvement
- Learn how to build and test complex products at the cutting edge of technology
- Work with engineers and scientists from different disciplines to solve technical problems
- Develop your engineering skills through hands‑on work, feedback and support from your team
