    Job Title:
    Facility Electrical Technician

    Contract Type:
    Up to 2x Permanent Positions

    Hours:
    Full Time (We understand the importance of work-life balance, and are happy to discuss the possibility of flexible working with applicants)
    Come and do the kind of engineering that made you want to be an engineer. Stretch your technical skills while building human understanding.

    And, alongside world-leading scientists, technicians and technologists, shape projects that improve lives, and daily life, in the UK and far beyond.

    The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is one of the largest multidisciplinary research organisations in Europe.

    Our research seeks to understand the Universe from the largest astronomical scales to the tiniest constituents of matter, yet creates an impact on a very tangible, human scale.

    From cancer treatment to airport security, high-tech jobs to hydrogen-powered cars, and energy generation to accident-scene emergency care, our impact is felt within and beyond the UK in many aspects of daily life.

    A purpose-built National Quantum Computing Centre will be built and operated by UKRI at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) campus in Oxfordshire.

    Until then, the NQCC's activities are taking place in other facilities on the Harwell Campus or at partnering institutions.

    The NQCC will sit alongside other departments within the STFC National Laboratories and will be part of the broader National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP).

    UK Research and Innovation recognises and values employees as individuals and aims to provide a pay and rewards package that motivates staff to perform to the best of their ability.

    The reward package includes a flexible working scheme, a Defined benefit pension scheme, 30 days annual leave allowance plus 10.5 bank holiday/privilege days and several other benefits.

    You will work within the NQCC's facilities team in close collaboration with the superconducting, Ion trap and software and control systems teams on a variety of challenging installation projects, utilising and enhancing your skills in assembly, test and integration to support the development of scalable, flexible and robust quantum computing assets, that can be deployed to meet the goals of the NQCC enabling the delivery of scalable quantum computing capabilities.

    Provide good electrical engineer design, integration experience and input into all the NQCC's technical groups and new facilities programs of work.


    • Supporting the broad technical commissioning of two NQCC flagship buildings. Including lab, plant and scientific hardware. G vacuum technology, cryogenics systems, process water chillers.
    • To be self-motivated and able to work independently, recognise the priorities in a busy new facility.
    • Provide appropriate technical information to and supervise contract staff and subcontractors for the manufacture of electrical control panels and peripheral equipment.
    • Carry out fault–finding, maintenance and repairs of operational control systems.
    • Work within the STFC safety policies and codes to create a safe environment to work. Preparing safety documentation, such as risk assessments and method statements.
    We offer significant development opportunities at the NQCC, but as a starting point you should be able to demonstrate some of the following;


    • Served a recognised apprenticeship or obtained NVQ level 3 in electrical technical including AM2.
    • Ability to interpret and understand technical engineering documents and drawings.
    • Experience in soldering, crimping and cable termination.
    • Experience in the design and development of PLC interlock, plant and motor control systems
    • Experience in working with UPS systems, both local and building.
    • Experienced in 19" rack architecture, good assembly and integration techniques when building control and test equipment into enclosures.
    You would need to be available to occasionally travel/work within the UK and overseas when required.

    As part of the UK's National Quantum Technologies Programme, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is leading a programme to establish a National Quantum Computing Centre, which includes a commitment of £93m over 5 years, dedicated to drive development in the field of Quantum Computing and to place the UK at the forefront of the field.

    The Centre is a joint initiative of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

    A purpose-built National Quantum Computing Centre will be built and operated by UKRI at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) campus in Oxfordshire.

    Until then, the NQCC's activities are taking place in other facilities on the Harwell Campus or at partnering institutions.

    The NQCC will sit alongside other departments within the STFC National Laboratories and will be part of the broader National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP).

    The primary purpose of the NQCC is to fill a key gap in the research and innovation landscape addressing the challenge of scaling quantum computing.

    However, this technology is immature and extensive development work is needed to scale the fundamental science to provide usable computing systems.

    The NQCC's initial 5 years will focus on developing a Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) machine to demonstrate the technology as well as software, algorithm and applications development.

    The longer-term aim is to scale the technology towards an error and noise-free fault-tolerant machine capability with benchmarking and verification demonstrated in collaboration with the UK and international partners.
