Infleqtion
Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms.
Location
Infleqtion has offices in the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. This is a permanent, full-time position at our Kidlington, Oxford office. Our flexible working policy enables all full-time employees to work from home up to 2 days a week, if work permits.
Position Summary
As part of our UK growth strategy, we are expanding our Engineering Team and recruiting an Embedded Systems Engineer to support our Quantum RF (QRF) and sensing projects.
In this role, you will develop the embedded control, acquisition, timing, and communications systems that underpin quantum-enabled RF sensors and deployable sensing products. You will work closely with physicists, electronics, FPGA, systems, and software engineers to take designs from requirements through implementation, characterisation, integration, and deployment.
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.
