Job description

Electronics Technician at Quantum Motion, London, UK. A mid-level full time position in the Quantum System in Package team, listed under hardware engineering.

About The Role and Team

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.

As an Electronics Technician, you’ll play a hands-on role in turning cutting-edge quantum devices into working, testable systems. You’ll work at the interface of electronics, advanced packaging and quantum technology, helping us develop and scale the processes needed to build the next generation of silicon-based quantum computers. This is an opportunity to work with technology that is still being invented and to have a direct impact on how it moves from the laboratory towards scalable quantum computing.

Our Team

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times in 2021 and 2022, 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, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.

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.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in electronics assembly, such as PCB manufacturing, soldering, wire bonding to integrated circuits and/or flip-chip assembly.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience using bench-top electronic test equipment, such as SMUs, VNAs and/or oscilloscopes.
• A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving, with strong attention to detail and a focus on quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience with advanced packaging technologies and/or 3D integration.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout EDA software.
• Experience working with cryogenic systems and/or high-vacuum environments.
• Experience working in a semiconductor, microelectronics, quantum technology or other advanced R&D environment.
• Experience developing or improving assembly, test or manufacturing processes.

Benefits

• Be part of a creative, world-leading team working on technology that could transform computing
• Work hands-on with cutting-edge quantum hardware and advanced packaging technologies
• Competitive salary and share options scheme
• Contributory pension scheme
• Group private medical insurance scheme
• Choose your own laptop/kit
• Life Assurance
