Electrical & Electronics Technician
Electrical & Electronics Technician at Cambridge or Seattle
Quantum is now, and it's built here. [row](Oxford Ionics, now part of IonQ, is pioneering quantum computing. Using world-leading trapped-ion technology, we’re building powerful, accurate, and reliable quantum systems to solve problems beyond today’s supercomputers.
At IonQ, we develop and deploy the most advanced quantum systems globally. Our latest systems—IonQ Tempo and IonQ Forte Enterprise—offer unparalleled performance, demonstrated by achieving 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity in 2025, a world record. By 2030, we aim to deliver 2 million qubit quantum computers, accelerating breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense.
About the Role
We’re seeking an Electrical & Electronics Technician to join our multidisciplinary team supporting revolutionary quantum hardware development.
As part of a highly skilled team, you’ll assist engineers, scientists, and researchers in building, integrating, and testing quantum computing platforms and linked systems. This role is your chance to work with next-gen trapped-ion quantum technologies in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Ideal candidates exhibit a practical, methodical approach with hands-on experience in electrical/electronic assembly and scientific research/high-tech systems. If you thrive on attention to detail, enjoy troubleshooting complex hardware, and collaborate across engineering disciplines, you’d fit perfectly.
