Job Description

Verification Engineer – Senior

Bristol, UK

This is a fantastic opportunity to help support the continued growth of a 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 must have a strong background in SoC verification. UVM experience is a must.

You will have:

  1. 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.
  2. Deep understanding of modern verification and validation techniques including formal, UVM/OVM/eRM, low power, emulation
  3. Good knowledge of the SoC design flow from specification to silicon tape-out

You must currently be based in the United Kingdom. Visa support can be given.

For more information and a chat about this superb opportunity, please contact Rachel Mason at IC Resources.

Quantum Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the quantum computing jobs market in the UK is shifting from hype to harder-edged reality. The wildest forecasts have softened, some early-stage start-ups have pivoted or been acquired, and investors are more selective. At the same time, governments, big tech, defence, finance and pharma still see quantum as strategically important – especially in algorithms, quantum-safe cryptography, optimisation and materials simulation. The result: fewer “blue-sky” roles with no clear roadmap, and more demand for quantum talent that can plug into real programmes, real products and real timelines. Whether you’re a quantum job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams across hardware, software, theory or adjacent fields, understanding the key quantum computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.
