Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is at the forefront of global efforts to build the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer, while delivering quantum-enhanced AI and simulation products to customers today.
Backed by over 25 years of technological excellence, SQC is a full-stack quantum computing company that leverages its proprietary manufacturing process to engineer atomic qubits in silicon with 0.13 nanometer precision. It is the most precise semiconductor manufacturing in the world, enabling systems with world-leading algorithmic fidelity, and a decisive advantage in the global quantum computing race.
Our products are commercially deployed and generating revenue. Watermelon, our quantum-enhanced AI system, is delivering superior results on real-world problems across energy, telecom and finance. Quantum Twins, our simulation platform, provides unparalleled ability to model quantum systems, accelerating molecule and materials discovery.
This is SQC: building the future of computing while delivering quantum impact today.
About the role
SQC exists to push humanity's technological frontier further than it has ever gone. The work we do demands that every tool, every workflow, and every atom counts. As Head of AI Enablement, your mandate is simple: ensure the way we work is as cutting-edge as the science we do.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role. You will have direct access to the CEO and executive team, an AI budget to deploy, and the freedom to tear down and rebuild workflows. You will operate across every business unit and every level of the organisation – from lab to commercial to operations – identifying where AI can compress timelines, eliminate friction, and unlock capability.
You will build apps. You will design agents. You will assess when to buy and when to build. You will coach, enable, and push SQC to the frontier of how work gets done – because if we're going to build the world's first fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computer, every advantage counts.
Your experience
You have operated at the leading edge of the AI wave – you're not watching it, you're riding it.
You are a builder and systems thinker who sees workflows as things to be engineered, not endured.
You have hands-on experience deploying AI tools and agents in real organisational environments, and know what "production-ready" actually means.
You know when an off-the-shelf SaaS product is the right call – and when it isn't.
You have deep familiarity with frontier AI tooling (Claude, GPT, Cursor, and the broader ecosystem) and can configure, prompt, and integrate them properly.
You can coach and bring others along – showing what's possible and driving practical adoption at every level.
You think carefully about AI infrastructure cost and efficiency, and you manage spend like it matters.
You understand AI governance and data security, and you build with both in mind from the start.
You thrive in high-accountability, fast-moving environments where the quality of your output is visible.
The recruitment process
Our process typically involves 3–4 stages where we will focus on your experience, technical capability, and alignment with SQC’s ways of working.
Equal opportunity
SQC is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and experiences, and encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every listed requirement. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can contribute, we encourage you to apply.
Export controls
This position may require access to export-controlled information or technology. Employment may be subject to applicable export control laws and may require eligibility assessment based on factors such as nationality, citizenship, or residency, and, where necessary, obtaining relevant export licenses or approvals.
About SQC
SQC was founded by renowned physicist and materials scientist Michelle Simmons, who pioneered the field of atomic electronics, including the development of the world’s first single-atom transistor and the first integrated circuit built with atomic precision. Our Chair, Simon Segars, former CEO of Arm, is a leader in the semiconductor industry and was instrumental in developing the processors that powered the mobile computing revolution.
As a full-stack company with in-house QPU manufacturing, SQC can design, produce and test new quantum chips in under a week, enabling rapid iteration and a decisive advantage in the race to build the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer.
SQC is a high-accountability environment built on a simple principle: Every Atom Counts. If you’re looking to play a meaningful role in building the next frontier of computing, we’d love to hear from you.
