Our rotation programme is a unique opportunity to be trained as an entry-level quantum engineer over one intensive year. You’ll work on real hardware challenges at a fast-paced scale-up, learning from industry leading engineers building silicon-based quantum computers.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll contribute to the development of large-scale quantum systems, troubleshooting cryogenic setups, validating control hardware, characterising devices, and solving practical engineering problems for building at scale.

We’re looking for recent Masters graduates in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, or engineers from adjacent industries (e.g., semiconductors, RF/microwave, cryogenics, photonics) looking to transition into quantum. You should have demonstrated lab or hardware experience. We need to see that you’ve built, measured, or debugged physical systems, plus sufficient programming skills for instrument control and data analysis.

Applications will be first reviewed on Monday 30th of March 2026, and monthly thereafter.

You will experience three technical domains, such as experimental quantum hardware, quantum integration, IC validation, and intelligent automation during 4-month rotations. For each rotation, you will be designated a Technical Supervisor. You will also have a dedicated mentor throughout the programme.
During the three rotations, you will contribute to innovative research by working on practical lab-based projects, such as:

• The design, validation, and measurement of quantum devices based on SiMOS spin qubit 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

  • Quantum information

  • Semiconductor devices

• Demonstrated experimental skills, data analysis and preparation of technical reports and presentations

• Knowledge of scripted data acquisition software, such as Python or Matlab

• Ability to work in a team

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Curious, proactive and adaptable

• Experience in circuit design and validation

• Experience with electrical testing equipment (Voltage sources, current meters, oscilloscopes, lock-in amplifiers, VNAs)

• Experience with the use of cryogenic measurement systems

• Be part of a creative, world-leading team

• Competitive salary

• Select your own laptop/kit

• Cycle-to-work Scheme

• Flexible working.
