Employer Description:
About Us Quantum Motion is a fast-growing quantum computing scale-up based in London founded by internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University with over 40 years’ experience in developing qubits and quantum computing architectures. Bringing together state-of-the-art cryogenic facilities and an outstanding interdisciplinary team, we are developing quantum processors based on industrial-grade silicon chips, with the potential to radically transform computing power in areas such as materials modelling, medicine, artificial intelligence and more. Our Team Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times, and our technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re backed by a team of top-tier investors including Bosch Ventures, Porsche SE, Sony Innovation Fund, Oxford Sciences Innovations, INKEF Capital and Octopus Ventures, and we have so far raised over £62 million in equity and grant funding. We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology. Our team of 100+ is based in Oxford and London, with a centre of mass in our Islington lab and office The Trainee Quantum Engineer will join the Cryogenic Engineering & Lab Development team supervised by Senior Cryogenic Engineer & Laboratory Manager. You will be working with a range of teams across the company (such as the Integrated Circuits Validation Team), where you could be working with vacuum systems, magnet development to integrating electronics with ultra-low temperature cryogenic systems and the development and testing of laboratory electronics. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an employee at a start-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company. This opportunity is linked to the Embedded Electronics Systems Design and Development Engineer Apprenticeship (Level 6) provided by LSBU where you will earn a BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree after 4 years. In the future upon completion of your apprenticeship programme, you will have the opportunity to take on a more senior position in Quantum Motion.
