Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Virginia
Our client, a high-growth quantum technology company, is seeking a Senior Physicist - Quantum RF to join their Quantum RF team. This role is pivotal to their continued success within the Defence & Security sector, focusing on the development of quantum sensing technologies for RF fields. You will be instrumental in translating advanced AMO physics concepts into scalable, commercial solutions.
They are interested in people at all levels of experience, and particularly those who want to utilise the physics research and to apply it to actual engineering projects that have significant value in niche markets, particularly in areas such as the miniaturisation of larger technologies.
Key Responsibilities- Lead and contribute to high-impact research projects in AMO physics and quantum RF sensing
- Design, model, and optimise atomic systems to meet product requirements
- Integrate opto-mechanical systems, electronics, and software into functioning quantum devices
- Execute testing, validation, and system demonstrations
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Contribute to publications, patents, and external engagements
- PhD in AMO Physics with substantial postdoctoral or industry experience
- Strong expertise in atomic/quantum systems, ideally including Rydberg physics and RF electrometry
- Proven experience manipulating atoms, ions, or molecules with light
- Demonstrated ability to build and integrate complex experimental systems
- Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python, C++, Rust) and familiarity with design tools (Zemax, Solid Works, Altium)
- Prior exposure to defence, labs (e.g., DSTL), or advanced research environments is beneficial
- Evidence of innovation (e.g., patents) is advantageous
- Hybrid working model: 3 days onsite / 2 remote
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge quantum sensing technologies
- Collaborative and commercially focused environment
- Support in professional development and career progression
