The NAQC team's mission is to: Design, build and deploy cutting-edge open-source NAQC hardware. Build capability to act as UK's trusted authority on NAQC. Convene the UK NAQC community and train the future NAQC workforce. As Senior Quantum Scientist (AMO), you will work as part of the NQCC's Neutral Atom Quantum Computing (NAQC) team. The role is suitable for candidates with strong experimental or engineering skills and experience who are looking to develop into system-level roles. You will contribute to development and deployment of NQCC's open-source quantum computing platforms to support our technology roadmap, integrating components into scalable quantum computers and pushing the boundaries of platform performance in the UK. System and Sub-System Development: Design, develop, assemble, and optimise neutral atom quantum computing sub-systems (e.g. QPU, laser systems, control systems). Develop and run experiments to characterise performance and improve qubit fidelity, stability, and scalability. Contribute to the integration of sub-systems into full-stack quantum computing platforms. System-Level Planning and Architecture: Contribute to system-level design, including requirements, interfaces, and performance targets. Support the development of scaling strategies and system architectures. Explore trade-offs across subsystems and their impact on overall system performance. Open Architecture and System Blueprinting: Contribute to the development of open-architecture policy
