What’s your role at ORCA?
I am a Senior Quantum Theory Researcher in ORCA’s Future Systems Team. I develop and optimise our nonlinear architecture and contribute to our long-term roadmap towards scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing.
How would you describe ORCA’s culture?
At ORCA, everyone is welcoming, open and enthusiastic about our work. My colleagues are very sociable and always open for a chat about their projects, whether it’s over a coffee or a beer after work. I split my time working at home and in the office. This allows me to collaborate with colleagues in London while also enjoying the flexibility of remote work with colleagues in the U.S.
What’s unique about working at ORCA?
Working for a company that focuses on long-term architecture while developing current systems and bridging the gap between the two is truly amazing. We have an environment where there is always something new to learn and explore. If you have a promising idea, you’ll always find enthusiastic colleagues ready to support and help you develop it.
What’s your role at ORCA?
I’m a Senior Quantum Optics Engineer, working at the intersection of Research and Product Development. I transform lab-demonstrated technologies into current or future products. Day to day, I’m in the office or lab, collaborating with scientists and engineers. No two days are the same. You could find me doing CAD or coding at my desk, or in the lab working with lasers, soldering, building and maybe even prototyping with the 3D printer.
How would you describe ORCA’s culture?
I love the culture at ORCA. It’s driven, energetic, passionate and inclusive.
What’s unique about working at ORCA?
The talented team I work with is ORCA’s most unique asset. Quantum computing is inherently niche, but ORCA goes further by providing full-stack, quantum-capable hardware to customers. This makes the products I help design, build and deliver, exciting.
What’s your role at ORCA?
I’m a Project Manager based in London. My role involves collaborating with the technical team to develop systems and overseeing multiple UK research projects. I coordinate with engineers and developers to align technical aspects with project goals, submit claims for ongoing projects and manage financial documentation. Monthly reviews are a key part of my routine, where I conduct lessons-learned sessions and update stakeholders on project progress.
How would you describe ORCA’s culture?
ORCA’s culture is all about diving deep into specialised areas of knowledge. I love the diversity and the unique perspectives different backgrounds bring to our team. This environment is perfect for continuous learning and growth, offering lots of opportunities for personal and professional development through mentorship and challenging projects.
What’s unique about working at ORCA?
