Current vacancies
Digital Design Engineer
You will design and implement the world’s first control system for fault tolerant quantum computing. The hardware is a scaled-out, real-time, low-latency system that synchronizes high accuracy, high speed pulses. You will work closely with our external partners, and with our engineering, product and quantum physics teams to define, build and deliver this system.
Senior Digital Design Engineer
You will design and own the world’s first control system for fault tolerant quantum computing. The hardware is a scaled-out, real-time, low-latency system that synchronizes high accuracy, high speed pulses. You will work closely with our external partners, and with our engineering, product and quantum physics teams to define, build and deliver this system.
Flexible working
Getting face-to-face is something we value and is essential for our roles and to support our growth. We operate a hybrid working policy, with staff in the office at least three days a week, with the option to work two days from home.
