Responsibilities
Lead the Logical Systems team to integrate quantum error correction technologies into a unified logical computing stack. Define the system architecture and manage the roadmap for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Requirements
Requires a PhD in a relevant discipline or equivalent commercial experience with deep expertise in cryogenic systems or superconducting qubits. Must have a proven track record of leading technical teams and delivering complex research programmes.
Full job description
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 Logical Systems, you'll lead the team responsible for bringing together the critical technologies that enable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Working at the intersection of quantum hardware, control systems and high-performance computing, you'll define the system architecture that underpins our next generation of scalable logical quantum computers while leading a high-performing multidisciplinary team.
The Role
Reporting to the VP of Quantum Science & Exploratory Research, you will lead OQC's Logical Systems team, driving the integration of quantum error correction technologies into a unified logical computing stack. You'll work across engineering and research disciplines, shape technical strategy, oversee complex research programmes, and build the capabilities needed to realise large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing.
What You'll Be Working On
Lead the integration of control hardware, firmware, cryogenic infrastructure and HPC/decoder interfaces into a unified logical systems architecture.
Define and deliver system-level testbeds that validate quantum error correction performance in collaboration with Device Scaling and Cryo Infrastructure teams.
Own the Logical Systems roadmap, ensuring delivery against key technical milestones and aligning priorities with OQC's wider technology strategy.
Lead, mentor and grow a multidisciplinary team, driving technical excellence, performance and career development.
Direct complex cross-functional research programmes, managing resources, budgets, timelines and technical risks across multiple teams.
Build and manage strategic collaborations with external partners, research organisations and suppliers to accelerate technical progress.
Represent OQC through scientific publications, conferences and collaborative research initiatives.
What We're Looking For
PhD in a relevant discipline or equivalent commercial experience.
Deep technical expertise in cryogenic systems engineering, superconducting qubits or a closely related field.
Experience leading technical teams within fast-paced research or engineering organisations.
Demonstrated ownership of complex technical programmes from concept through delivery.
Experience designing, developing and delivering advanced quantum or cryogenic systems to specification.
Strong leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across multidisciplinary teams.
Proven experience in project planning, technical roadmapping, data-driven decision making and resource prioritisation.
The 'Nice-to-Haves'
Commercial experience developing quantum computing or cryogenic technologies.
Experience working across multiple quantum hardware or cryogenic platforms.
Experience coordinating large multidisciplinary engineering or research teams.
Experience managing external research collaborations or commercial partnerships.
Strong presentation skills and experience communicating complex technical concepts to senior stakeholders.
Why Join OQC
You will join a world-class team at the forefront of the next computational era. We offer a culture of bold innovation, the chance to work with unique lab infrastructure, and the opportunity to see your work redefine the limits of computation.
We build quantum computers and enable life-changing discoveries.
