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.
Nu Quantum is looking for a Nanofabrication Engineer to join our growing team, tackling exciting problems to make scalable quantum computing a reality.
About The Role
We are looking for a Nanofabrication Engineer/Senior Nanofabrication Engineer (depending on experience) to accelerate the development of our quantum networking technology. These form a core part of our hardware R&D efforts, and their performance is crucial to reaching the rate and fidelity required for multi-core quantum computing. You would join our highly motivated and multi-disciplinary Photonics Systems team, with expertise across engineering design, optics, integrated photonics, and nanofabrication. Your role would initially focus on development and testing of a bespoke MEMS actuator which is a critical component for Nu Quantum next generation Qubit Photon Interface (QPI) device.
