Head of Experimental System Integration
Head of Experimental System Integration
At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started and we’ve recently closed our £260 million Series C funding round – the largest fundraise ever completed by a quantum computing company in Europe.
The Purpose
As Head of Experimental System Integration, you'll lead the development of the sophisticated experimental platforms that enable OQC to push quantum computing forward. Bringing together quantum processors, cryogenics, control electronics and HPC/real-time decoding, you'll build the integration capability that accelerates our R&D cycles and helps scale OQC towards fault-tolerant logical quantum computing.
The Role
Leading our Experimental System Integration function, you'll operate at the intersection of experimental physics, hardware development and embedded software engineering. You'll own the architecture and integration of our R&D testbeds, lead and develop a highly technical team, and work across OQC's research programmes to turn ambitious scientific objectives into reliable, high-performance experimental systems.
Reporting to the VP Research, you'll also shape the team's technical roadmap, lead complex research projects and provide clear reco
