About the job

The Quantum Control Scientist role at Nu Quantum involves developing, commissioning, and optimising the real-time control systems that drive their in-house trapped-ion quantum processing units. Working within the Atomic, Molecular & Optical (AMO) team, the scientist will design and implement reliable workflows on the ARTIQ platform for time-critical data acquisition, stabilisation protocols, and complex hardware orchestration. The role requires hands-on integration and control of custom electronics, FPGA-based systems, laser and RF hardware, along with Python-based software development to automate experimental processes and improve repeatability. The position also includes creating graphical interfaces, supporting hardware-software debugging, documenting workflows, training team members, and collaborating closely with physicists, engineers, and software specialists to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions. Candidates should have a postgraduate degree in Experimental Physics or equivalent lab experience, strong real-time control and programming skills, and familiarity with laboratory instrumentation and automation tools. Nu Quantum fosters an inclusive, innovative environment with excellent benefits, flexible working, and visa sponsorship available for international candidates.
