The Photonic Layout Engineer will design and layout photonic integrated circuits for quantum computing, collaborate with scientists and engineers, and produce photonic layout files using Python scripts.

Support and maintain classical IT infrastructure for quantum hardware builds and operation: servers, OS provisioning, lab networks, device integration, urgent troubleshooting, and automation/documentation to improve repeatability.

Lead a small Oxford-based Quantum Systems IT team to own classical infrastructure for quantum system builds. Responsibilities include Linux server provisioning, PXE/OS configuration, IPMI/BMC access, lab network design (switches, VLANs, firewalls), integrating bespoke scientific hardware, documenting and automating processes, and coordinating handoffs with DevOps, reliability, physics and corporate IT. Hybrid Oxford role with some travel for system handoffs.
