At Quantum Base, our mission is to use science to improve the world. We were founded by Professor Robert Young to create practical quantum technologies that anyone can use. Our niche is applying quantum science to create anti-counterfeit solutions that actually work.
Quantum Base has invented the Q-ID, a small atomic fingerprint that can go on anything, can be authenticated with any smartphone, and cannot be counterfeited. Q-IDs are novel, are covered by 40+ patents, and eliminate counterfeits in industries like pharmaceuticals, currency and luxury goods. No other solution offers 100% secure authentication on a smartphone - what we do is truly world leading. You can see them in action here: https://youtu.be/br-f15t-qtQ.
We\'re listed on the London Stock Exchange, and on a growth journey to bring our inventions to the world. We\'re looking for new team members to join our team working at the leading edge of science. If this sounds like you, then please apply.
Location
Minimum 2 days per week in our Lancaster University offices, when not attending customer sites. This is to ensure you have access to our labs, our scientists, and can pick up our technology as quickly as possible. Regular international travel will be required.
About the Role
We are looking for a Solutions Engineer to help us convert more interested lead Quantum Base print trials and customer onboarding from initial sales meetings through to live production. You\'ll work very closely with our customers, our Commercial Team, and the rest of Quantum Base to teach potential customers about our solution, help them get production ready and turn them into paying customers.
You will act as the technical authority during the sales process. This is the first external hire into the new Customer Implementation function, so you\'ll be able to put your mark on the business and the way we do things. Given that, we\'re looking for people who have startup experience, or are happy with creating new approaches where they don\'t exist.
Our solution is fundamentally a scientific invention, but our IP is implemented using our mobile SDK, our cloud, our manufacturing software and our ink. You will need to have experience with software and technology, however print experience is not required (we have experts who can teach you the intricacies of printing).
