Research Scientist – QKD Implementation Security

Research Scientist – QKD Implementation Security

Outline

Toshiba Europe Limited has been at the forefront of quantum communication for over a decade, pioneering technologies that set new standards in cryptography and data security. Our research underpins deployed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems and continues to drive innovation in next‑generation quantum‑secure networking.

We invite applications for the post of Research Scientist in QKD Implementation Security at the Cambridge Research Laboratory, Toshiba Europe Ltd. This role focuses on the in-depth experimental characterisation and testing of QKD systems and components, developing a deep understanding of real system behaviour, device imperfections, and security‑relevant implementation details. The insights generated through this work directly inform system design, security analysis, and the evolution of deployed and future platforms.
