Systems Engineer – Quantum Infrastructure

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.
