At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality - and we’re just getting started.
The Purpose
As a Quantum Software Engineer in Calibration Operations, you’ll develop automated calibration and benchmarking solutions that are essential to keeping OQC’s quantum computers accurate, stable and available.
Quantum systems naturally drift and are highly sensitive to their environment, so effective calibration is a continuous operational requirement - not a one-off activity. Your work will directly enable reliable system performance for both production workloads and research.
The Role
This is a quantum-focused software role at the intersection of experimental physics, automation and production engineering. You’ll turn calibration knowledge into robust software and workflows used for system bring-up, daily operation, performance monitoring and research and development.
Working closely with measurement and calibration teams,
you’ll understand device behaviour and translate scientific requirements into effective tooling. You’ll own quantum-software projects from requirements and experimental validation through to production deployment, collaborating with control-systems engineers, researchers and platform teams throughout delivery.
You’ll contribute through design reviews, pair programming and shared problem-solving, supporting the engineers and scientists who use your tooling. You’ll also share knowledge through documentation, technical presentations and contributions to the wider quantum community.
What You’ll Be Working On
• Design and develop automated calibration and benchmarking sequences and workflows for production and R&D; quantum systems, supporting system bring-up, daily calibration, performance monitoring and remediation.
• Build calibration software that is reliable, fast, observable and capable of recovering fro
