Graduate Applications Engineer, Physics

Do you have strong academics and a Physics based degree? A company working on highly complex physics based software are looking for a Graduate Applications Engineer to join them. You will be working with topics such as semiconductors device physics and photonics. The Graduate Applications Engineer will join a small team of software developers and physicists, working closely with customers to help solve their Physics design problems.

This position does not require any previous commercial experience - if you have a 2:1 degree or above in Physics from a top university and are a confident communicator then apply now! 

You will be given extensive training, not only on the variety of products but about the techniques used in photonics and the physical mechanisms they are based on. This companies’ products are used worldwide and are at the forefront of the photonics research community.

Application Engineers will also have the opportunity to complete work in other areas such as software development using Python or Matlab, so the nature of the role will allow candidates to be versatile with both their work and their skills.

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

Quantum computing is no longer a future concept—it’s a fast-growing industry with real-world applications in materials science, cryptography, optimisation, and drug discovery. As the UK doubles down on its National Quantum Strategy, demand for quantum computing talent is surging across academia, startups, and enterprise R&D. Welcome to the Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the programming languages, frameworks, libraries & platforms shaping the UK quantum jobs market. Whether you’re transitioning from physics, software engineering or data science, this radar shows you what to learn to stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.
