Jobs at Universal Quantum

Designs and builds electrical and mechanical test rigs for quantum microfabricated devices. Develops test plans, conducts electronics characterization and experimental validation, evaluates testing methodologies, collaborates with chip and electronics designers, and documents procedures and results. The role requires electronics engineering, PCB and schematic design, high-frequency signal measurement, embedded systems, FPGA-based automation, and strong technical documentation skills.

Integrate cryogenic and extreme-high-vacuum hardware for trapped-ion quantum computing systems. Responsibilities include assembly planning, precision mechanical integration, component inspection, leak checking, bakeouts, thermal cycling, functional testing, cleanroom protocol development, documentation, and root-cause resolution of assembly anomalies. The role collaborates with physicists, mechanical engineers, and electronics engineers, and may provide short-term support to overseas teams.

Design, develop, and maintain software components, SDKs, libraries, and user interfaces for quantum algorithm development tools. Own components of the algorithm development pipeline, collaborate with quantum algorithm teams, and deliver reliable, documented software. Support testing, validation, and deployment of models and simulations to HPC and cloud environments while evaluating trade-offs across quantum algorithms, compilation, and hardware processes.

Recruiter responsible for full-cycle hiring of technical and specialist talent, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, offers, onboarding, and talent pipeline development. The role partners with hiring managers, provides market insights, manages candidate experience, and supports recruitment across international locations in a fast-growing technology environment.

Leads systems engineering for complex quantum computing products from concept through customer deployment. Defines system architecture, requirements, interfaces, verification, validation, technical governance, and lifecycle processes. Builds and mentors multidisciplinary engineering teams spanning hardware, software, controls, optics, cryogenics, vacuum, and mechanics. Owns technical assurance, programme dependencies, risks, quality, compliance, integration, and acceptance while supporting product strategy, scalability, and the transition from R&D to commercial delivery.

Design, assemble, align, test, troubleshoot, and characterize optical and laser subsystems for trapped-ion quantum computers. Integrate fibre-optic and opto-mechanical assemblies, develop optical test methods, analyze performance data, improve alignment stability and subsystem robustness, and support laser alignment, beam delivery, electro-optical controls, and diagnostics. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and scientific teams while documenting requirements, test results, and root-cause analyses.

Design RF PCBs and architectures for custom quantum-computing RF delivery systems, including cables and transmission lines. Define component specifications, lead RF verification and validation testing, develop test plans, and document results. Collaborate with electronics, ASIC, mechanical, software, and physics teams on innovative solutions, proof-of-concept development, project planning, risk management, and scheduling.

Design, develop, verify, and document HDL-based digital logic and electronics for quantum-computer control systems. The role involves FPGA and embedded real-time systems, PCB design, circuit testing, debugging with laboratory equipment, supplier collaboration, project planning, and multidisciplinary work with mechanical, software, and physics teams.

Design and architect custom RF delivery systems spanning cables, transmission lines, and complex RF subsystems. Define specifications, perform trade-offs, and oversee RF simulation, integration, verification, and validation. Develop test plans, support proof-of-concept work, collaborate across engineering and physics teams, manage suppliers, and contribute to project planning, risk management, and documentation.

Design, build, test and verify analogue and digital electronics and PCB subsystems for quantum computers. Lead testing and verification, write documentation, collaborate cross-discipline, develop test systems, plan projects, and understand firmware/software used for control.

Lead day-to-day finance operations (AP/AR, invoicing, reconciliations, month‑end), prepare VAT returns, support audits and close processes, manage suppliers, monitor spend, improve and automate financial processes, and strengthen internal controls across multi-entity environments.
