About Us
Founded in 2017, Q-CTRL has grown to become the global leader in quantum. We're using control to solve the hardest problems facing quantum technology, improving hardware performance and accelerating pathways to useful quantum computers and other technologies. As a product-led company, we bring together diverse teams such as product, design, engineering and research to help achieve our mission of making quantum technology useful. Join us to help shape the quantum future.
As one of the fastest growing companies in the quantum sector, we've had a number of key milestones:
* In November 2023, we announced an industry-first partnership with IBM Quantum Services, natively integrating our performance management software with all IBM quantum computers. Building off of this relationship, in September 2024 we started offering two services via IBM's new Qiskit Functions Catalog as an inaugural partner
* Designed and moved our Global HQ offices and lab space into the first purpose-built (and award winning) commercial and research facility for a quantum technology company in Australia
* Continued to deliver real world outcomes across the quantum sectors, with our work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS, as featured in the New York Times
* In October 2024, we announced our record breaking expansion of our Series B funding round to USD $113M, with $59M USD of new capital
* Grew our global presence to include Los Angeles, Berlin, and Oxford - as well as the recently announced office in San Francisco
From educating the workforce on how quantum computing works, to building the next generation of quantum sensors, to delivering massive performance gains for end-users, it all starts with hiring the right talent. If you want to help us build the Quantum future, read on.
What you'll be doing:
* You will be part of an established and growing team focused on quantum sensing for a variety of industry sectors such as Aerospace, Defence, geophysical exploration and Earth observation
* Work closely with our experimental physicists, quantum control engineers, and sensor hardware specialists to implement quantum control protocols on real quantum sensor hardware
* Assisting with development, operation and analysis of next-generation atom interferometer based quantum sensors to achieve maximum sensitivity and robustness for various applications
* Work with the Quantum Sensing Engineering teams to reduce SWaP and increase ruggedness of lab-based systems used to operate next generation quantum sensors and prepare them for fielded environments
* Collaborate with your colleagues in the Quantum Sensing Research Division, the Quantum Sensing Engineering Division, and the company more broadly
* Other duties within the Employee's skills and experience, or with reasonable training
Ideally you'll have:
* A PhD (or equivalent industry experience) in physics, engineering, or a closely related discipline
* Experimental experience in of one or more of the following: atom interferometry; cold and/or ultracold atomic systems; and/or quantum sensing in warm atomic vapours;
* An understanding of dominant performance limits in fieldable systems
* Familiarity with the Python programming language for scientific computing would be great but not essential
* Finally, you will have a strong desire to work with a world leading team and a company that is fundamentally building the future of the quantum technology industry
