Quantum Hardware Engineer
Location: London, UK / Hybrid
Sector: Quantum Computing & Advanced Technology
Level: Mid-Senior to Principal
We're building a specialist network of engineers and scientists working across the rapidly growing quantum computing ecosystem in the UK and Europe.
We're particularly interested in speaking with Quantum Hardware Engineers, Experimental Physicists and Quantum Engineers who are either actively considering their next move or would be open to hearing about opportunities as the market develops.
Our focus is on venture-backed and established organisations developing next-generation quantum computing hardware, control systems and enabling technologies.
Areas of Interest
We're keen to speak with people working across:
- Quantum hardware development
- Qubit design, characterisation and control
- Superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, silicon-spin or photonic architectures
- Experimental quantum physics
- Cryogenic systems and low-temperature environments
- RF and microwave engineering
- Quantum control systems
- Vacuum systems
- Electronics and instrumentation
- Hardware integration and testing
- Quantum measurement and characterisation
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt 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.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
Your Background
You may currently be working within a quantum computing business, research organisation, university spin-out or an adjacent technology environment.
We're particularly interested in candidates with experience across quantum physics, experimental physics, electrical/electronic engineering, RF, cryogenics, semiconductor technology or scientific instrumentation.
Commercial quantum experience is valuable but isn't essential for every opportunity. We're also keen to connect with researchers and engineers considering a move from academia or adjacent deep-tech industries into commercial quantum technology.
