Toshiba Europe Limited has been at the forefront of quantum communication for over a decade, pioneering technologies that set new standards in cryptography and data security. Our research underpins deployed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems and continues to drive innovation in next‑generation quantum‑secure networking.
This role focuses on the in-depth experimental characterisation and testing of QKD systems and components, developing a deep understanding of real system behaviour, device imperfections, and security‑relevant implementation details. The insights generated through this work directly inform system design, security analysis, and the evolution of deployed and future platforms.
Key Responsibilities- You will play a key role in the experimental characterisation of QKD systems, contributing high‑quality data and physical insight.
- System Characterisation experience with version control (e.g., Git).
At Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Laboratory, you’ll combine the rigour of academic‑style experimentation with the impact and stability of a global technology leader. You’ll be part of a close‑knit team where detailed experimental insight directly shapes the future of secure quantum communications. If you are motivated by hands‑on experimentation, deep system understanding, and translating careful measurement into real‑world impact, we would be delighted to hear from you.
