Overview
At OQC, we aren't just theorising about the future; we're building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we've successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. But we're just getting started.
Our Quantum Engineers are at the heart of this mission. You will bridge the gap between deep physics and scalable engineering, bringing practical quantum advantage closer by combining cutting-edge hardware with a system-first approach. If you are ready to redefine human computation, you belong here.
The Role
As a Quantum Engineer, you will join an elite group of experimental physicists and engineers driving the performance of OQC's quantum systems. This isn\'t a purely theoretical role; you will be hands-on, designing, characterizing, and optimizing the next generation of our quantum processors.
You will be the architect of qubit performance navigating the complexities of cryogenic environments and microwave hardware to ensure our systems deliver real-world results.
What You\'ll Be Working On
You will operate at the intersection of experimental physics and advanced software automation to drive system-wide breakthroughs.
* System Mastery: Maintain and operate OQC's quantum systems, including complex qubit calibration routines and control electronics
* Experimental Rigor: Design and execute high-fidelity experiments on superconducting quantum circuits to push the boundaries of coherence and gate performance
* Data-Driven Analysis: Use Python to analyze system performance, from quantum operation fidelity to cryogenic payload simulations
* Software Evolution: Contribute to our Python-based control software stack, developing modules for automation, simulation, and improved system robustness
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Hardware and Software teams to integrate experimental workflows into a seamless technology stack
* Research Visibility: Help maintain OQC's position at the forefront of the field through scientific publications and conference participation
For Senior Quantum Engineers
* Manage and own technical projects from initial system build through to final reporting
* Mentor junior engineers to develop their technical and experimental skill sets
* Take a lead role in defining the roadmap for system-wide performance improvements
What We're Looking For
We value engineers who combine a detail-focused mindset with the adaptability needed to navigate complex scientific challenges.
Core Experience
* Experimental Background: Experience in an academic or industrial lab working with superconducting circuits, cryogenics, or advanced measurement instrumentation
* Programming: Proficiency in Python for automation, data analysis, and experimental control
* Technical Communication: The ability to distill complex scientific findings into clear reports and presentations
* Problem Solving: A proven track record of managing time effectively while tackling high-stakes technical hurdles
The Nice to Haves
* Familiarity with microwave/RF hardware and signal processing
* Experience in quantum simulations or modeling superconducting circuits
* Contributions to peer-reviewed scientific publications
* Experience with software version control (Git) and collaborative development
Why Join OQC?
You will join a world-class team at the forefront of the next computational era. We offer a culture of bold innovation, the chance to work with unique lab infrastructure, and the opportunity to see your research directly power the world\'s most advanced commercial quantum computers.
