We have a new opening for a Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join a leading manufacturer of precision electronics instrumentation.

The ideal candidate will possess a diverse skill set across both analog and digital, covering hardware and firmware design aspects for embedded (ARM based) microprocessor systems.

The role will encompass basic design & simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout and prototyping.

You will work on the development of new modules and sub-systems for the industrial, aerospace & defense (A&D) and bio-photonics market segments.

Working in a multidisciplinary team you will be developing new cutting-edge products for applications in Satellite communications, industrial sensing and biomedical imaging, which will drive and deliver sustained revenue growth.

In this exciting new position, you will be involved in the full product life cycle from initial concept through to prototyping, testing, and final release to manufacture.

Joining a rapidly growing tech company, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits, along with potential for personal and professional development / progression in the future.

Qualifications:

Qualified to at least Degree Level in Electronics, Electrical, Engineering or relevant discipline, and be familiar with Electronics design.

Experience:

You should have significant industrial experience in electronics design & development, with strong analogue/digital/mixed signal circuit design; experience in Firmware/Software development for ARM based micro’s; and schematic capture and layout (e.g. Altium)

Preference will be given to candidates who also have experience with prototyping and laboratory test equipment; a knowledge or familiarity with MISRA or similar coding standards; and RF design experience would be an advantage.

Additional Information:

Candidates MUST hold a full clean UK Driving Licence, as travel may be required to other UK sites.

Candidates MUST be eligible to work and live in the UK. Copies of Passports and Visas will be requested for verification.

Skills: Electronics Design, Electronics, Firmware, Software, RF, MISRA, NPD, NPI, Altium, ARM

Contract vs Permanent Quantum Computing Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Quantum computing, once purely theoretical, has become one of the most dynamic fields in modern technology. Innovations in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, and quantum-safe cryptography hold the potential to transform everything from drug discovery and supply chain optimisation to secure communications and advanced AI. Across the United Kingdom, start-ups, research labs, and established tech giants are vying for quantum talent, driving up both day‑rates for contractors and salary packages for permanent staff. For professionals with quantum expertise—whether that is in hardware engineering, algorithm design, quantum error correction, or quantum software development—the question arises: Is it better to work as a day‑rate contractor, accept a fixed-term contract (FTC), or pursue a permanent position? Which path offers the most competitive pay by 2025, and which one aligns with long-term career aspirations? This guide explores the unique opportunities, challenges, and earning potential across these three types of quantum computing employment. By examining sample take‑home pay scenarios and broader considerations (like job security, IR35, and career development), you will be better equipped to decide which pathway leads to success in this burgeoning industry.

Quantum‑Computing Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Welcome to the Quantum Decade—No Lab Coat Needed Quantum computing is crossing the chasm from physics lab to boardroom. The UK Government’s £2.5 billion National Quantum Strategy (2023‑2033) backs this transition, building the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) at Harwell and funding dozens of start‑ups such as Riverlane, Quantum Motion and Phasecraft. Analysts at GlobalData estimate that by 2030 the UK quantum sector could support 65,000 jobs and add £5 billion to GDP. Yet a stubborn myth prevails: “Quantum jobs are only for PhDs in superconducting physics.” The reality? Almost 45 % of current quantum‑computing vacancies prioritise commercial, programme or policy skills rather than qubit calibration (UK Quantum Skills Survey 2024). Venture investors now ask founders, “Great chip. Who’s your product manager? Who will navigate export controls?” If your strengths lie in storytelling, governance, project delivery or ecosystem building, quantum needs you—no Dirac notation required. This guide spotlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, real career‑switch stories, and an actionable 90‑day plan to land a role in Britain’s quantum future.

Oxford Instruments Quantum‑Computing Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Building the Hardware of the Quantum Era

Before a superconducting qubit ever executes a gate, it must be cooled to 10 millikelvin, shielded from stray photons and measured with sub‑attoamp precision. For more than 65 years, Oxford Instruments (OI) has supplied the cryostats, magnets and nano‑analysis tools that make cutting‑edge physics possible. Today, its NanoScience division powers quantum labs at Google, IBM, IQM and UK‑RI’s National Quantum Computing Centre. From Proteox dilution refrigerators to Triton X dry systems and Teslatron superconducting magnets, OI hardware is the quiet hero behind nearly every major quantum breakthrough. With a global headcount of ~2,200 and annual revenue topping £450 m, Oxford Instruments continues to scale—especially in quantum‑tech manufacturing, field service and R&D. The careers portal lists roles across engineering, physics, software and customer success. Whether you want to design ultra‑low‑noise amplifiers, debug fridge wiring at 20 mK or model spin‑qubit devices, this guide explains how to land an Oxford Instruments quantum‑computing job in 2025.
