Electronics Design Engineer Paignton, Devon

£40-60k + share options + benefits

Multiple positions exist for ambitious and talented electronics design engineers to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies.

Their technologies are being developed to radically improve network speed and energy efficiency for AI, ML and HPC processing applications.

Typical involvements: Electronics Design Engineer

There are multiple needs hence engineers with experience of some / all the following would be of interest -

  • Analogue, digital or mixed signal board and interface design (design, simulation, board design and bring up, supplier engagement, assembly, integration & test)

  • Schematic capture and ideally PCB layout skills (tools such as OrCAD, Altium, etc)

  • Power electronics design - Experience with the design of low noise, small footprint power electronic devices

  • High speed digital PCB and FPGA design (Verilog, VHDL or SystemVerilog)

  • Development of DAC/ADC peripherals utilising QSPI, DSPI, and SPI interfaces.

  • The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation

    As an electronics design engineer you will be involved with designing and developing new hardware for the company’s ongoing product development.

    There is a preference for people that have worked on highspeed network hardware products for data centres, high-performance computing (HPC), data storage, server hardware, and telecom infrastructure or similar (e.g. InfiniBand products, optical transceivers, Network interface cards (NICs), Routers (highspeed backbone and edge routers), Switches (highspeed ethernet and InfiniBand.)

    Skills / Experience required: Electronics Design Engineer

  • A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering)

  • 2-5 years of industry experience (post-academia) involving full lifecycle electronics circuit design

  • Analogue, digital or mixed signal board and interface design (design, simulation, board design and bring up, supplier engagement, assembly, integration & test)

  • Schematic capture and ideally PCB layout skills (tools such as OrCAD, Altium, etc)

  • Development of DAC/ADC peripherals utilising QSPI, DSPI, and SPI interfaces.

  • The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation

  • Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills

    More: Beneficial

  • Power electronics design - Experience with the design of low noise, small footprint power electronic devices

  • High speed digital PCB and FPGA design (Verilog, VHDL or SystemVerilog)

  • Knowledge of highspeed network interface or optical transceiver systems

    The electronics design engineer role is based on site in Paignton, Devon 5 days per week. Relocation assistance and working visas may be possible for the right candidate

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Quantum Computing Jobs Hub

Quantum computing is rapidly emerging from the realm of theoretical physics into practical reality. While classical computers use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers employ qubits, which can exist in superpositions of states. This enables them to tackle certain types of problems—such as optimisation, complex simulations, and cryptography—that classical machines struggle with. Although quantum technology is still in its early stages, sectors including financial services, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and cybersecurity are already experimenting with and investing in quantum computing. As a result, demand for professionals with expertise in quantum algorithms, quantum hardware, software integration, and quantum error correction is growing. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned to become a global quantum computing jobs hub. With leading universities, expanding research programmes, supportive government strategy, and a maturing quantum ecosystem, the UK is building a foundation for career growth in this transformative field.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Quantum Computing Skills in 2025/26

Quantum computing has moved from theory to practice. No longer confined to physics labs, it is now a serious field of research, development, and even early commercial application. From cryptography and drug discovery to optimisation in finance and logistics, quantum computing is shaping up to be one of the most transformative technologies of the coming decades. For job seekers in the UK, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Roles in quantum computing are appearing not only in big tech but also in finance, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and government research. Employers want candidates who don’t just understand the theory, but who can actually design, test, and deploy quantum algorithms. The challenge? Quantum hardware is still rare, expensive, and limited. But the good news is that there are many free tools, platforms, and resources you can use to practise quantum computing skills today — building your knowledge, portfolio, and career prospects without spending a penny. This article explores the best free platforms for learning and practising quantum computing, how to use them effectively, and how to build portfolio projects that stand out to UK employers.

Top 10 Skills in Quantum Computing According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Quantum computing is transitioning from academic curiosity to a strategic technology with transformative potential in areas like cryptography, materials science, finance, logistics, and optimisation. UK institutions—from tech startups to government research labs—are investing in quantum capabilities and seeking professionals with interdisciplinary expertise to build this emerging field. But which quantum skills are most in demand today? By analysing LinkedIn and Indeed job listings, this article presents the Top 10 quantum computing skills that UK employers are targeting in 2025. Alongside each, you’ll find guidance on how to demonstrate your proficiency on your CV, in interviews, and through project-based proof of work.
