Careers

We are seeking a full-time Quantum Fabrication Engineer to lead the physical realisation of our superconducting quantum chips. You will spend significant time in the cleanroom, owning the end-to-end fabrication process of our quantum devices and working closely with the design team to translate layouts into high-coherence hardware.

This is a permanent position based in Glasgow, Scotland.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead fabrication process development for superconducting qubit devices, including novel materials, multilayer integration, and advanced patterning techniques.
• Develop and optimise lithography processes (electron beam and photolithography) for superconducting circuits to achieve high-resolution, reproducible device fabrication.
• Develop and optimise thin-film deposition processes (e.g., sputtering) for superconducting materials such as Niobium and Aluminium.
• Implement and refine fabrication process flows for superconducting qubit devices, including Josephson junctions, multilayer structures, and microwave circuit components.
• Collaborate with quantum hardware and design teams, using metrology and process documentation to troubleshoot fabrication issues and improve device yield and scalability.

Required Qualifications:

• MS or PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, or Electrical Engineering with direct experience fabricating superconducting qubits.

Desired Experience:

• Hands-on experience in a cleanroom environment fabricating semiconductor or superconducting devices.
• Proficiency in Python for data analysis, visualisation and automation of tasks.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a meticulous, data-driven approach to process development and optimisation.
• Experience in superconducting qubits and/or chip design tools (i.e. KLayout) is highly valued. We’ll consider alternative expertise or experience.

What we offer:

• Salary range: £50-65K (determined by experience)
• 33 holiday days a year
• Performance-led bonuses
• Continuous professional development
• Support for ambitious career progression

We are seeking a full-time Measurement Engineer/Application Scientist to bring our fabricated chips to life. You will be responsible for operating cryogenic systems, designing radio frequency test setups, and characterising the performance of our transmon qubits to drive our hardware development cycles.

This is a permanent position based in Glasgow, Scotland.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate and maintain dilution refrigerators to test quantum chips at milli-Kelvin temperatures.
• Design and assemble cryogenic and room-temperature microwave measurement chains (amplifiers, circulators, filters).
• Perform comprehensive qubit characterisation, including measuring coherence times (T1, T2), readout fidelity, and gate benchmarking.
• Develop and maintain automated measurement and instrument control software using Python.
• Analyse complex measurement data and communicate findings to the design and fab teams to guide the next iteration of chips.

Required Qualifications:

• MS or PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, or Electrical Engineering with direct experience measuring superconducting qubits.

Desired Experience:

• Extensive hands-on experience operating dilution refrigerators and handling cryogenic vacuum systems.
• Deep expertise with room-temperature RF/microwave test equipment (VNAs, AWGs, digitizers, spectrum analysers).
• Strong proficiency in Python and experimental control frameworks (e.g., QCoDeS, Labber, or custom instrumentation libraries).
• Thorough understanding of circuit QED, transmon physics, and quantum characterisation protocols.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.We’ll consider alternative expertise or experience.
