The Company

Step into a global technology powerhouse shaping the future of photonics, lasers, and advanced optical systems. This organisation is renowned for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible — developing ultrafast lasers, supercontinuum sources, single‑frequency fibre lasers, and specialised optical fibres that enable breakthroughs across scientific research, medical diagnostics, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, quantum technologies, and precision engineering.

If you’re energised by high‑performance engineering, complex technical challenges, and contributing to technologies that genuinely move industries forward, this is an exceptional environment to grow, influence, and lead

The Role

As the Electronics Engineering Manager, you’ll take responsibility of a talented electronics team, guiding them through the design and development of next‑generation products. This isn’t just a management role — it’s a chance to shape the technical direction, strengthen engineering discipline, and bring clarity and cohesion to a team working at the cutting edge of photonics innovation.

You’ll work closely with Engineering Managers, the Director of R&D, and a European electronics group to align practices, elevate standards, and ensure the team operates with a unified vision. Your leadership will help create a more structured, collaborative, and forward‑looking engineering culture — one where people know the mission, understand the expectations, and feel empowered to deliver their best work.

You’ll also take technical and project ownership of a major Defence‑sector programme, leading timelines, customer engagement, and engineering delivery. Experience in Defence or similarly regulated environments will be a strong advantage.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead electronics and embedded software activities to ensure product compliance and certification to industry standards.

  • Collaborate closely with global electronics teams to shape and harmonise engineering practices.

  • Communicate effectively with project and product stakeholders across the R&D organisation.

  • Design, develop, and test electronic and software work packages within product development cycles.

  • Ensure accurate documentation and release of work through PLM/PDM and internal systems.

  • Provide clear technical direction, ownership, and leadership across electronics and software development.

    Your Background

  • Degree in a relevant Engineering discipline.

  • Extensive experience developing electronics or firmware for embedded systems across the full product lifecycle.

  • Proven leadership experience — able to guide, motivate, and bring structure to a team of engineers.

  • Strong track record of aligning teams, driving strategy, and embedding effective engineering practices.

  • Knowledge of modern electronic and software technologies.

  • Experience with laser systems is advantageous.

  • Comfortable working with external partners and cross‑functional teams

New Quantum Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Advancing Quantum Careers

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs. As companies convert quantum theory into testable products, algorithms, and computing platforms, demand for professionals with quantum knowledge — whether physics, algorithms, software development, or hardware engineering — is rising. In 2026, quantum computing organisations are securing significant funding, industry partnerships, and contracts across sectors such as energy, finance, telecommunications, defence, and healthcare. For candidates exploring opportunities on www.QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are hiring now and scaling quantum teams is crucial. This article profiles the new and high‑growth quantum computing employers to watch in 2026, with a specific focus on UK‑based innovators, international firms with UK operations, and leading global quantum organisations.

How Many Quantum Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Quantum Computing Job?

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology — and the job market reflects that excitement. But for aspiring practitioners, the sheer number of tools, frameworks, programming languages and hardware platforms can feel overwhelming. One job advert mentions Qiskit, another talks about Cirq or Pennylane. You see references to quantum annealers and superconducting qubits, to measurement hardware and simulators, to noise mitigation libraries and cloud platforms. It’s easy to conclude that unless you master every quantum tool, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most quantum computing hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real problems and explain why your solutions work. Tools matter, but context, understanding, judgement and results matter more. So how many quantum computing tools do you actually need to know to succeed in a job search? The real answer is significantly fewer than most people assume — and far more focused by role. This article breaks down what tools really matter in quantum jobs, which ones are core, which are role-specific, and how you can build a coherent toolkit that employers actually value.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Quantum Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

Quantum computing is one of the fastest-evolving fields in technology, blending physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Roles in this space — from Quantum Algorithm Developer and Quantum Software Engineer to Quantum Research Scientist and Quantum Hardware Specialist — are highly sought after, and hiring managers are exceptionally selective. Because quantum computing is complex and multidisciplinary, recruiters and hiring managers look for clear, concrete evidence of relevant expertise and impact right at the start of your application. They often decide whether to read your CV in detail within the first 10–20 seconds, based on a handful of high-value signals. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in quantum computing applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to optimise your application to get noticed in the UK quantum job market.
