Join Nu Quantum - Shaping the Future of Technology

Nu Quantum is at the forefront of quantum computing and advanced technology, driven by innovation, diversity, and a commitment to excellence. We’re creating an environment where brilliant minds from all backgrounds collaborate to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Founded to commercialise research generated over the last decade at the Cavendish Laboratory, Nu Quantum is on a mission to shape the future of quantum information systems.

We’re working on exciting technology that will improve the utility and accelerate the time-to-market of quantum computing systems. We integrate novel quantum photonic technology to form an efficient and scalable quantum networking infrastructure in partnership with world-leading companies and academic groups.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Electronics Engineer, skilled in high-performance analogue and mixed-signal circuitry to join our highly collaborative team, supporting the development of our novel quantum networking hardware. The successful candidate will be working with teams spanning mechanical engineering, software and FPGA, optics, nanofabrication, and physics.  There will be opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies and to try out highly creative and innovative designs, working from initial concepts through to lab-based testing and deployment of prototype systems.

As a member of our growing electronics team, you’ll be responsible for architecting novel electronics designs while liaising with the physics and product teams to agree on ambitious yet achievable specifications.  You’ll be designing, building and testing prototypes in the lab, and supporting their use within the wider company to enable fast and scalable quantum networking.  You’ll be collaborating with Engineers and Scientists from a wide range of disciplines to make sure complex electronic systems function as expected, and supporting the project management team in planning timescales and budgets.

Responsibilities - What You'll be doing

• Liaising with team members from many technical and business disciplines, to agree requirements and specifications for electronics systems.
• Carrying out design calculations and simulations, and selecting suitable components and equipment.
• Producing high-quality electronic schematics, system designs and PCB layouts.
• Organising the manufacture of prototypes.
• Hands-on testing, debugging and improving of complex electronic and optical setups.
• Analysis of experimental results and data.
• Supporting the use of electronic systems throughout the company.
