Full Job Description
At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started. ### The Mission As an Engineering Design Apprentice at OQC, you’ll help bridge the gap between engineering design and real-world manufacturing as we scale the next generation of quantum computing systems. Working within our Engineering Operations and R&D teams, you’ll support the release and lifecycle management of critical design data, ensuring our systems can be built, improved, and deployed reliably across the globe. This is a hands-on apprenticeship designed for someone curious about engineering, design, manufacturing, and how complex products move from concept into reality. ### The Role You’ll join our Engineering Operations team and work closely with Design Engineers, R&D teams, Supply Chain, Technicians, and Project Management to support the design release process for OQC quantum systems. This role has a strong focus on design release, product lifecycle management, and manufacturing readiness. You’ll learn how engineering data is captured, controlled, and released into production environments — helping ensure our systems are scalable, manufacturable, and continuously improving. Alongside your day-to-day work, you’ll complete your apprenticeship qualification through our partnered training provider, University Centre Newbury. ### What You'll Be Working On * Supporting the management and maintenance of Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation * Assisting with design release and change control processes to ensure manufacturing data accuracy * Supporting Design Engineers with CAD activities, including 3D models and assembly drawings using SOLIDWORKS * Helping capture and manage “design for build” updates from R&D and engineering teams * Supporting lifecycle management processes a
