Principal AMO Physicist

Principal AMO Physicist - Trapped-Ion Quantum Hardware

£80,000-£100,000 base salary + share options + relocation support

Cambridge, UK | On-site | Full-time

Help decide what the next generation of quantum hardware becomes.

Ready for greater influence over the experiments, the architecture and the technical roadmap? This role gives you the scope to lead all three.

Join a scaling quantum-technology company advancing trapped-ion platforms. Lead experimental development, improve ion–photon interfaces and qubit control, and own critical laboratory subsystems.

Alongside the hands-on physics, shape platform strategy and mentor the AMO scientists helping deliver it.

Three essentials:

• Extensive experimental AMO experience, including ownership of complex laboratory systems.
• Deep understanding of qubit control, coherence and fidelity optimisation.
• Experience providing technical leadership within a collaborative team.
