Vacancies
If you relish technical challenges and want to help develop ground-breaking quantum software as part of our collaborative team, we’d love to hear from you. Take a look at our job opportunities below.
Open Roles
Senior Digital Design Engineer
Supporting the Head of Silicon and junior engineers, As a Senior Digital Design Engineer you will work on the complete ASIC/FPGA product development flow, starting from understanding the problem space, specifying the architecture, developing the micro-architecture, writing RTL and then taking the design through to implementation to obtain the best possible power, performance and area.
Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer
You will join our Engineering team building Deltaflow.OS, a new operating system for quantum computers. As part of the Error Correction team, you will implement software to model quantum error-correcting decoders at both functional and timing-accurate levels.
Quantum Error Correction Researcher
You will join our research team working on quantum error correction. Research projects include developing and implementing fast decoding algorithms for quantum error correction, designing novel quantum codes for different hardware architectures, and design of protocols for executing fault-tolerant quantum logic.
Research Software Developer/Senior Research Software Developer (USA)
