Principal AMO Physicist – Trapped-Ion Quantum Hardware
UK | On-site | Full-time
Ready to define the architecture of next-generation ion-based quantum systems? A rapidly scaling quantum technology company is seeking a Principal AMO Physicist to play a leading role in advancing high-performance trapped-ion platforms and integrated quantum hardware systems.
You will operate at the intersection of atomic physics, quantum control, and systems engineering - helping shape the technical roadmap of scalable quantum devices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design and optimisation of advanced trapped-ion experiments
- Drive performance improvements in ion–photon interfaces and qubit control
- Own complex laboratory subsystems (lasers, RF/DC electronics, UHV hardware, control systems)
- Contribute to technical architecture and long-term platform strategy
- Mentor AMO physicists and collaborate across engineering disciplines
