About the Role

As a Quantum Control Scientist within our Atomic, Molecular & Optical (AMO) team, this role operates at the intersection of physics and engineering, commissioning and developing the real-time control layer that drives our in-house trapped-ion quantum processing units.

Our experimental control systems are built on the ARTIQ platform, providing a real-time and flexible orchestration of complex hardware. The position involves designing and implementing reliable workflows for time-critical data acquisition and stabilisation protocols, interfacing primarily in Python with diverse systems such as custom electronics, laser and RF hardware.

We are looking for a creative problem-solver to work in a hands-on lab environment. You will develop and optimise real-time control software tightly integrated with experimental instrumentation. Collab...
