Senior Consultant - Quantum Engineering

Quantum computing is entering a new era of relevance and real-world impact. At Endava, we’re not building quantum computers – we’re building quantum capability. Through our Dava.X Quantum Pod, we help organizations explore, evaluate, and implement quantum technologies that solve real-world challenges and future-proof their operations.

We are looking for a Senior Consultant – Quantum Engineering to join this pioneering team. Reporting to the Global Head of Innovation & Quantum, this is an exciting opportunity for someone with deep technical expertise and a strong consulting mindset to help shape the quantum future across industries. You will help develop our cutting-edge quantum computing and cybersecurity capabilities, provide expert advice to clients, and deliver quantum solutions across various industries. You’ll work across emerging domains like optimization, post-quantum security, and hybrid quantum-classical systems – all while collaborating with leading technology providers and our global clients.

This is a growth role. You will be instrumental in delivering value out of both the Quantum and Cybersecurity Pods, and carving out new pathways. It’s your chance to help build something bold, from the ground up.   We’re not just exploring what’s possible – we’re helping define what’s next.

• Create cross-Pod capability, in particular that which lies at the intersection of quantum and cybersecurity with a focus on post-quantum encryption and quantum cryptography.
• Lead and deliver on proofs-of-concept – both internal Endava POCs to demonstrate capability, and client POCs to demonstrate quantum advantage – across industries such as logistics, finance, healthcare, telco and beyond.
• Serve as a subject matter expert, advising clients on quantum strategies and helping them identify high-value opportunities aligned with their business goals.
• Deliver high quality quantum consulting engagements, contributing to all stages from client onboarding to implementation.
• Support pre-sales and early client engagement efforts by shaping proposals, scoping quantum opportunities and contributing to solution architecture.
• Conduct in-depth analysis of client needs and design tailored quantum computing solutions.
• Develop quantum, or hybrid quantum-classical, software or applications for clients, as a lead member of a broader delivery team.
• Design, implement and optimize quantum algorithms for real-world challenges across industries.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate quantum technologies into existing client infrastructures.
• Stay abreast of quantum computing advancements – across hardware, software, and regulation – and translate key trends into practical insights for clients and colleagues.
• Evangelize quantum within Endava, helping teams across regions and industries understand the value and potential of quantum computing, and how to spot opportunities.
• Support upskilling efforts through coaching, mentoring and creating reusable resources to build internal quantum capability.
• Present complex quantum concepts and project outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Travel to client sites as needed to provide on-site consultation and support.
