<p><span data-contrast="none">Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>

<p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">About the role</span></strong><strong><span data-contrast="none"> </span></strong></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Riverlane’s Engineering Graduate Scheme is designed for graduates in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Engineering, Physics, Maths and related subjects who want to build a career in quantum computing.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">You will join us as a permanent, full-time employee at our head office in Cambridge, UK. During your first 12 months, you will rotate through Engineering teams, gaining hands-on experience of different technical challenges and approaches to developing QEC technology. Your work throughout the scheme will focus on engineering, in close collaboration with research teams and learn how research is translated into working technology.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">You will have a dedicated supervisor to support you through your rotations and help you develop your technical and professional skills. You will take on meaningful work from the outset, while learning from experienced colleagues across our multidisciplinary team.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">You do not need a background in quantum computing. You will have the opportunity to learn about QEC as part of the scheme.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">At the end of the programme year, you will move into an Engineering team or Engineering Research role to continue developing your career at Riverlane.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
