Oxford Ionics

SDET

• Take ownership of testing, characterising, and validating photonic components and devices.
• Help raise the bar on how we design and run metrology in the lab.
• Blend practical optical engineering with strong experimental discipline: selecting components, designing measurement approaches, running experiments.
• Turn results into clear technical direction for the wider team.

Photonics Test Engineer

Technical Program Manager

• Own the programme execution for silicon device development within our quantum computing roadmap.
• Translate complex technical work into clear plans, measurable milestones, and predictable delivery.
• Work daily with physicists and engineers, and partner closely with external suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Create and run the operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned and leaders informed.
• Build delivery plans, track dependencies, surface risks early, and produce decision-ready reporting for senior stakeholders.
• Drive structure into ambiguity when priorities shift or technical issues emerge.
• Lead silicon device development programmes (or workstreams), owning scope, schedule, resources, budget, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment.
• Drive cross-functional execution across physics, engineering, and partner teams.

Systems Engineer

• You will be responsible for architecting the next-generation trapped-ion quantum computers based on electronic qubit control technology.
• By addressing system-level questions about quantum computer design and performance, you will make informed decisions on how to distribute complexity between subsystems - and back them up with technical feasibility analyses.
• You will also immerse yourself in the broader science and engineering effort at IonQ, supporting detailed design, manufacture, operation and characterisation of new systems - actively updating the architectural plans in response to experimental findings.
