Engineering Technician

Quantum is now, and it's built here.

Oxford Ionics, now part of IonQ, is pioneering the next generation of quantum computing. Using our world-leading trapped-ion technology, we’re building the most powerful, accurate and reliable quantum systems to tackle problems that today’s supercomputers cannot solve.

Joining Oxford Ionics means becoming part of a global IonQ team that is transforming the future of quantum technology - faster, at scale, and with real world impact.

What to Expect...

We’re hiring a Technician to support the Quantum Infrastructure team with sub-assembly builds and parts control (goods-in, stock, and kitting). You’ll work alongside engineers, scientists and senior technicians to keep our quantum system builds moving safely, accurately, and at pace.

What You'll be Responsible for...

You’ll build and rework sub-assemblies across mechanical and basic electrical work, following build instructions and meeting defined quality standards. You’ll support system builds, upgrades and day-to-day lab projects across the quantum hardware programme, while also running goods-in, receipting, stock control and kitting to ensure the right parts are available when needed. Alongside this, you’ll maintain a safe, organised lab and stores environment (including PPE compliance, housekeeping and core EHS discipline), keep accurate records of work completed, and proactively flag shortages, quality issues or build risks early so the team can respond quickly.
