Graduate Software Engineers 2025 & 2026 required.

In this software design role you will be specifying, designing, developing and testing software for complex systems used for a wide variety of design and delivery applications. Beyond embedded software, there is a broad range of projects requiring skills across the full software development life cycle.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary and supportive team as many of the systems you will be working on will include electronics, optics, fluids, robotics, and user-interface components, thus requiring an all-round engineering knowledge, attention to detail and good team-work skills. Graduate Software Engineers will have some of the following qualifications experience;

  • M.Phil, MSc, MPhys, MRes, MA, BA, BSc in Software Engineering or Computer Science, or Electronic Engineering or physical sciences

  • Knowledge of C, C++, Python, C#, Java, SQL- Full stack development

  • Programming on Cross Platforms- Windows-Linux

  • Embedded software /Firmware experience

  • DSP- Algorithm development

    The following skills and experiences are advantageous, but not essential:

  • Experience in Linux, python and C++

  • Knowledge of electronics and physical interactions with software

  • FPGA/VHDL-Verilog

  • Signal processing, data science or AI knowledge

  • Experience working alongside hardware engineers

  • Data Science/Data Processing

  • Computer Vision/AI

  • Quantum Computing

    As part of the Software and Electronics team, you will be working on ground-breaking projects that improve lives worldwide

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.
