Job Description
Systems Engineer – Quantum Infrastructure
Are you an Infrastructure or Systems Engineer looking for something genuinely different?
My client is building some of the world's most advanced quantum computing technology and is looking for a Systems Engineer to help design, build and support the critical infrastructure that powers production-scale quantum computers.
This is not a traditional IT support or infrastructure role. You'll be working at the intersection of enterprise infrastructure, automation, networking and cutting-edge scientific hardware, collaborating with world-class engineers, physicists and software developers.
The Role
You'll play a key role in designing, deploying and maintaining the infrastructure behind highly specialised quantum computing systems, working across Linux, Windows, virtualisation, networking, automation and hardware integration.
Responsibilities include:
Building and maintaining production infrastructure
Configuring Linux and Windows servers
Integrating specialist scientific hardware with enterprise infrastructure
Managing networking across laboratory and production environments
Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code
Automating server deployment and configuration
Supporting Kubernetes-based platforms
Troubleshooting both infrastructure and hardware issues
Working closely with DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers and Quantum Physicists
Technology Environment
You'll gain exposure to technologies including:
Linux
Windows Server
Kubernetes
Dell PowerEdge (R660/R760) Servers
VMware / Virtualisation
Terraform
Ansible
Packer
Infrastructure as Code
Enterprise Networking (Cisco, Aruba, Arista)
Alongside traditional infrastructure you'll also work with specialist laboratory equipment including lasers, scientific cameras, sensors and custom hardware.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for engineers who enjoy building robust, automated infrastructure rather than simply supporting it.
You'll ideally have experience with:
Linux administration
Windows Server
Infrastructure Engineering
Kubernetes
VMware or virtualisation
Terraform, Ansible and Infrastructure as Code
Automation and scripting
Enterprise networking
Hardware integration or server deployment
We're particularly interested in candidates who have experience owning and supporting production environments over the long term, rather than purely project-based consultancy work. Experience building resilient, repeatable infrastructure and managing systems throughout their lifecycle will be highly valued.
Hands-on experience with physical server hardware, hardware installation, integration and troubleshooting is also important, as this role combines software, infrastructure and real-world engineering.
Experience within scientific research, advanced manufacturing, defence, high-performance computing or similar technical environments would be advantageous but isn't essential.
Why Join?
Very few engineering roles offer the opportunity to work on technology that's changing the future of computing.
You'll be joining an organisation where you'll:
Help build production quantum computers
Work alongside world-leading scientists and engineers
Solve unique infrastructure and automation challenges
Influence the design of next-generation infrastructure
Work with cutting-edge technologies in a highly collaborative engineering culture
Enjoy excellent facilities, catered lunches and a modern working environment
This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems and wants to work on technology that very few organisations worldwide are developing.
