Engineer - Design Analysis

Quantum Engineer – Error Correction – £55k – £65k At OQC we’re pushing the boundaries of quantum innovation, and bringing in an additional Quantum Research Scientist will help us get there even faster. You’ll help lead scientific research projects that genuinely impact our quantum technology, from design and implementation to data collection and analysis. This is your chance to drive quantum innovation in a hands-on role while working with some of the best like-minded folk in the field. You’re already a proven scientist – probably at PhD level – who thrives on solving complex, technical challenges and someone who’s shown a creative approach that’s improved quantum systems. You’ll thrive solving challenging technical problems and developing new techniques and advancements in QEC theory and be comfortable collaborating with other scientists and technical teams sharing updates. Developing, maintaining and testing of advancements in quantum error correction theory for superconducting circuit-based quantum processors Simulating processor performance given experimental characteristics and identifying solutions for improvement; Working directly with other technical teams to improve quantum error correction performance We’re seeking someone with hands-on experience working on quantum systems, perhaps quantum computing architectures, superconducting resonators or related fields. You’ll have experience carrying our research into Quantum Error Correction, simulating Error Correction ideally for superconducting circuit processors and experience of python coding for data analysis. Your ability to communicate complex scientific findings clearly – both in writing and in person – will be as important as your technical skills. You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment, working with others across the business and striving to ensure we hit our commercial and scientific milestones. A PhD in a related field would be great as this could be a well-established entry role into industry from academia. 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. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot. Are you ready to help us build this future? We aspire to thrive, as a company and as people, thanks to your diversity of thought and background. Our employment decisions are based on business needs, talent and merit and all our colleagues share in the responsibility for fulfilling our commitment to diversity.
