AtUniversal Quantum, we aim to make the world a better place by engineering the future of computing. Together, we are creating truly impactful quantum computers. Our machines will be capable of solving problems until now considered impossible, with applications ranging across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, materials and aerospace. We are looking to hire anASIC Evaluation Engineerto join an established ASIC design group working on developing and running measurement solutions to evaluate a range of cryogenic-compatible ASICs and micromachined components. Passionate about helping create technologies which can change the world? We may be the right place for you, so get in touch!

What You’ll Accomplish:

  • Testing of custom integrated circuits (ASICs) and micromachined assemblies as a primary duty.
  • Design, build and document custom test electronics (PCBs) and test hardware.
  • Write testbenches within in house evaluation environment. Requires solid foundation in Python, Git, coctb and Verilog.
  • Create reports detailing the performance of ASICs at nominal and cryogenic temperatures.
  • Opportunity to work with the IC team on the design of cryogenic ASICs or system-level applications.
  • Maintain the multidisciplinary collaboration with mechanical engineers, software engineers, physicists, working towards a common goal.
  • Play a key role in building test systems for quantum computers.
  • Engage with project planning activities, risk management and scheduling requirements.
  • Help with fast turn-around proof of concepts and feasibility discussions.
  • Work closely with the IC design team to implement best practices and improve product documentation.
  • Work with silicon at various stages of assembly and work with suppliers to define and produce packaging for chip-specific evaluation.
  • Work with the design team to help identify root causes of functional or performance deviations

Quantum Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Quantum Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills across quantum computing, communications, sensing and cryptography — and how to get hired. In the UK, most quantum jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol and Edinburgh, with common titles including Quantum Software Engineer, Quantum Algorithm Developer, Quantum Hardware Engineer and Post‑Quantum Cryptography Specialist. The easiest way to browse live quantum jobs is via specialist boards like QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in general STEM listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about quantum jobs in the UK in 2026: what roles exist, which skills are in demand, typical salary ranges, and how to position yourself to get hired.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise quantum computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and consortia that reach quantum hardware and Qiskit talent. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
