Machine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantum

Join to apply for theMachine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantumrole atQuantinuum

Quantinuum is building a new AI team, currently comprising 14 employees, and is talent pooling for future roles. Please register your interest to be considered for upcoming opportunities. Note that responses may be delayed as current positions are filled.

Designing, building, programming, and using quantum computers pose numerous challenges. Modern AI methods show promise in addressing these challenges, requiring quantum computing scientists to identify use cases and design experiments.

As a Machine Learning Scientist in the AI for Quantum team, your role involves designing ML experiments in collaboration with ML engineers and quantum scientists, developing tools and frameworks to apply AI techniques to quantum computing, and solving complex problems in the quantum stack. You will have access to Quantinuum’s top-tier quantum computers, with applications including circuit optimization, quantum algorithm design, and error mitigation or correction strategies.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will utilize state-of-the-art methods alongside quantum scientists to solve problems such as circuit compilation, error-correcting code discovery, and demonstrating quantum advantage by integrating quantum computers with AI systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Research novel use cases of machine learning and AI for quantum program synthesis.
  • Identify high-impact problems that Quantinuum can solve.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product management, and architecture teams.
  • Present at scientific, technical, and industry conferences as needed.

Key Requirements:

  • Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or related fields, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience applying AI to scientific problems.
  • Previous quantum computing experience.
  • Knowledge of literature on quantum advantage.

Desirable Skills:

  • Knowledge of quantum computing concepts or related fields like quantum many-body physics.
  • Experience with large-scale machine learning, including language models and reinforcement learning.
  • Experience with high-performance computing platforms.

What’s in it for you?

Work with a talented team in the quantum computing industry. We offer a competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday, pension, flexible working, and parental benefits.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
