Technician

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality—and we’re just getting started.

Keep OQC’s laboratory environments safe, well supplied and ready for the engineers developing our quantum computers.

As a Laboratory Technician, you’ll help maintain critical cryogenic equipment, complete practical engineering work orders and support the assembly and upkeep of the systems that enable our technical teams to deliver their objectives.

Working within Engineering Operations and reporting to the Laboratory Supervisor, you’ll provide hands-on support across OQC’s laboratories, workshops and other technical spaces.

You’ll monitor equipment, respond to incidents, maintain stock and safety records, and work closely with Quantum Engineers, hardware teams, deployment teams and other Laboratory Technicians. The role includes acting as a first responder during scheduled shifts and agreed on-call periods, with occasional travel to support OQC’s globally deployed devices.

Maintain the availability and performance of cryogenic equipment, coordinating servicing, resolving faults and escalating complex issues when required.

Complete work orders involving electronic, electrical and mechanical assemblies, alongside general maintenance activities supporting the development of OQC’s quantum computers.

Support the set-up, assembly, disassembly and maintenance of quantum computers and associated scientific equipment.
