Full job description

Join QFX and help build the future of quantum hardware.

Who We Are

QFX is a UK-based deep‑technology company focused on the development of advanced quantum hardware components for next-generation computing, communication, sensing, and timing systems.

The Company specialises in precision atomic and photonic technologies, operating at the intersection of fundamental physics and engineering to deliver scalable infrastructure for the quantum technology ecosystem.

The Company is headquartered in Oxfordshire and operates from laboratory and manufacturing facilities at Begbroke Science Park.

Role Overview

The Company is seeking to appoint an Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) Physicist to support the continued advancement of its core technology platforms.

This role will contribute directly to the design, development, and validation of precision atomic systems, including atomic beam sources, laser‑based subsystems, and vacuum‑integrated quantum devices.

The successful candidate will work within a multidisciplinary team and play a key role in translating cutting‑edge scientific concepts into robust, scalable, and commercially deployable hardware solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

Duties may adapt in line with business priorities and typically include:

Apply theoretical and experimental AMO physics expertise to advance quantum device development

Develop Python/Julia scripts for analysing raw experimental data and extracting actionable insights

Integrate opto-mechanical systems, electronics, and software into cohesive platforms

Support equipment setup, system demonstrations, and technical troubleshooting

Identify suitable materials and components to meet project specifications

Maintain detailed documentation of project progress and proactively resolve issues

Working Together

Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams including physics, vacuum, electronics, and manufacturing

Participate in design reviews, system architecture discussions, and technical decision-making

Mentor engineers and technicians working on optical systems

Making an Impact

Deliver core optical technologies enabling next-generation quantum hardware

Define architecture and standards for scalable optical subsystems

Drive improvements in stability, performance, and manufacturability

What You Bring

Essential Qualifications & Experience

PhD in experimental atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics.

Hands-on experience with laser systems, including optical design and alignment

Familiarity with control systems and signal processing

Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively in team settings

Passion for working in dynamic, entrepreneurial environment

Ability to adapt to needs of rapidly growing business and enthusiasm for engagement with training and development opportunities

Desirable Skills

Experience integrating complex hardware/software systems

Proficiency with ARTIQ experimental control software, and/or experience in embedded system applications.

Knowledge of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems and associated hardware

Familiarity with 3D CAD tools (e.g. SolidWorks), electronic design software (e.g. Altium), and/or optical or physics modelling software (e.g. Zemax, COMSOL)

Hands-on experience in electronic circuit design and debugging

Project management experience

Understanding of Health and Safety practices and commitment to safety culture

How We Work

This role is primarily based in our office and laboratory facilities, involving regular interaction with technical equipment such as computers and laser systems. The position may require periods of sitting, standing, bending, and manual handling of equipment weighing up to 16kg.

You’ll be expected to use standard office and laboratory tools (e.g. laptops, printers, and communication devices) efficiently. Any necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided and must be used in accordance with our Health and Safety policies.

QFX is committed to making reasonable adjustments for candidates and employees in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Travel

Occasional travel (up to 10% of annual working days) may be required for conferences, collaborations, and site visits.

Why QFX?

Early-stage startup with big ambitions

Dynamic and fast-moving working environment

Work alongside world-leading quantum scientists and engineers

Flexible working and a culture of trust

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive Total Rewards package, including:

Competitive salary

Generous and flexible annual leave

Cycle-to-work scheme

Tax-efficient personal tech purchasing scheme

Everyone’s Welcome

QFX is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply - your potential matters to us.
