About us

Founded in 2017, Q-CTRL has grown to become the global leader in quantum technology. We're using control to solve the hardest problems facing quantum computing, improving hardware performance and accelerating pathways to useful quantum computers and other technologies. As a product-led company, we bring together diverse teams such as product, design, engineering, and research to help achieve our mission of making quantum technology useful. Join us to help shape the quantum future.

Key milestones include:

  • In November 2023, we announced an industry-first partnership with IBM Quantum Services, integrating our performance management software with all IBM quantum computers.
  • In September 2024, we began offering two services via IBM's Qiskit Functions Catalog as an inaugural partner.
  • We moved our global HQ and lab into the first purpose-built quantum technology facility in Australia.
  • Our work with Australian Defence on quantum sensing for navigation without GPS was featured in the New York Times.
  • In October 2024, we expanded our Series B funding round to USD $113M, with $59M in new capital.
  • Our global offices now include Los Angeles, Berlin, Oxford, and San Francisco.

We are hiring the right talent to educate, innovate, and deliver in the quantum sector. If you want to help build the quantum future, read on.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Scientist with expertise in quantum magnetometry modelling to develop next-generation, small-form-factor quantum magnetometers that are highly sensitive, ultrastable, and reliable in harsh environments. You will collaborate with quantum sensing experts to address challenges in aeronautical positioning, geophysical surveying, and magnetic anomaly detection. A key focus will be developing software control protocols and operating modes for optically-pumped atomic magnetometers to achieve significant performance improvements in noisy conditions.
