Verification Engineer – Senior and Principal levels

Bristol, UK

This is a fantastic opportunity to help support the build of a new Bristol based Chip Team, working on innovative, class leading silicon.

My client has opened a small design centre in the bustling City of Bristol. They are developing a novel photonic-electronic architecture that will bring fully homomorphic encryption to the world. The development provides a huge opportunity to become the ubiquitous choice for this new upcoming market across multiple industry sectors.

In order to achieve their goal of bringing this technology to the mass market, they are assembling a highly skilled team to build a complex SoC.With the successful recruitment of several Design and Verification Engineers into the team, they continue to build on this and are hiring for 2/3 more Verification Engineers. 

In this role, you would support the Verification group in defining the verification and validation strategy for the SoC. Working with the SoC Architect and Design team, you would help define and execute the strategy to build a SoC that achieves their technical and commercial goals. 

To be successful for this role you musthave a strong background in SoC verification. UVM experience is a must. 

You will have:

  • A proven track record in SoC verification with exposure to all phases in the flow – requirements collection, methodology and test plans, testbench implementation, coverage closure, documentation etc.
  • Deep understanding of modern verification and validation techniques including formal, UVM/OVM/eRM, low power, emulation
  • Good knowledge of the SoC design flow from specification to silicon tape-out

How to Write a Quantum Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Quantum computing is no longer confined to university labs and research papers. UK companies are now actively hiring quantum software engineers, physicists, hardware specialists, cryptographers and commercial leads as the sector moves closer to real-world deployment. But while demand for quantum talent is rising, many employers are struggling to attract the right candidates. Roles attract either underqualified applicants who see “quantum” as a buzzword, or highly academic researchers who are a poor fit for commercial environments. The problem often isn’t the candidate pool — it’s the job advert. Writing a strong quantum job ad requires a very different approach to traditional tech hiring. Quantum professionals are highly specialised, sceptical of hype and acutely aware when an employer doesn’t truly understand the field. In this guide, we’ll break down how to write a quantum job ad that attracts the right people, filters out the wrong ones and positions your organisation as a serious, credible player in the quantum ecosystem.

Maths for Quantum Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them) Linear algebra essentials, probability, complex numbers, basic optimisation.

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or ML engineer looking to move into quantum computing or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in physics, maths, computer science or engineering applying for quantum roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions often say “strong maths” but rarely spell out what that means in practice. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree’s worth of theory to start applying. For most graduate & early-career roles in quantum software, quantum research engineering & quantum algorithms, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in four areas: linear algebra, probability, complex numbers & basic optimisation. This guide turns vague requirements into a clear, job-focused checklist. You will learn what to focus on, what to leave for later & how to build small portfolio outputs that prove you can translate the maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in Quantum Computing Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Quantum computing is one of the most demanding – & exciting – areas in technology. It sits at the intersection of physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering & even philosophy. The problems are complex, the systems are fragile, & the answers are rarely obvious. That’s exactly why quantum needs people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for high-end research or deep technical roles. In reality, many of the traits that made school or traditional workplaces difficult can be huge strengths in quantum computing – from intense focus on niche topics to pattern recognition in noisy data & creative approaches to algorithms. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring quantum computing careers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a quantum computing context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map onto common quantum roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in quantum computing – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
