Official Role Description: Q-CTRL
About the team
Q-CTRL’s Quantum Sensing Research team performs basic and applied research in quantum sensing and quantum-enabled navigation. It is a highly dynamic team comprising approximately 30 specialists in theoretical and experimental atomic physics, cold-atom interferometry, navigation modeling, and modern Bayesian estimation and signal processing techniques.
The Quantum Sensing Research and Quantum Sensing Engineering teams work closely together, translating novel quantum sensing research into a useful capability and product. We are focussed on pushing the boundary of what is possible in quantum sensing and ensuring our R&D has real-world impact.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Scientist to develop quantum magnetometers that are performant, autonomous, and which can operate reliably in harsh fielded environments. You will work closely with experts in quantum sensing to design, develop, test, and characterise new state-of-the-art magnetometers and auxiliary hardware that will solve pressing challenges in aeronautical positioning and navigation, geophysical surveying, and magnetic anomaly detection. A key focus of the role will be to develop mitigation strategies for the adverse effects that prohibit optimal sensor operation in such scenarios.
