A fantastic opportunity to work near the South Devon coast, joining a developer of photonic networks.

We are looking for experienced Hardware Engineers to develop a high-speed network interface card, collaborating with electrical, RF, mechanical, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration in an exciting, ambitious environment.

Your responsibilities will include leading the design and integration of transceiver module across photonic design, Network FPGA and hardware.

Collaborating with electrical, RF, mechanical, and software teams you will ensure seamless system integration.

In addition, you will develop and execute test plans for hardware validation, integration and verification. Plus troubleshoot and resolve hardware integration issues at the board and system level.

You will work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners for hardware bring-up and production support.

You will perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis, and support EMC/EMI testing and compliance efforts.

Participating in design reviews you will provide feedback on hardware architecture and layout.

Experience:

As the successful Hardware Design Engineer, you should have experience in hardware integration, preferably within RF/photonics/optics systems, plus a strong understanding of RF fundamentals, signal processing and efficient power supplies.

A sound knowledge of EMC implications of hard speed transmission, plus scripting and automation, such as TCL and Python.

A knowledge of thermal and mechanical considerations in hardware design is also required.

Ideally you will also have experience with lab equipment, such as; spectrum analysers, oscilloscopes, VNAs, and signal generators; have proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence); and a familiarity with embedded systems and firmware debugging.

Qualifications:

A Bachelors or Masters Degree in Electronics Engineering, Physics, or other relevant fields or experience within the industry.

Additional Information:

Candidates MUST be eligible to work and live in the UK. Copies of Visa and Passport will be requested.

Candidates MUST be prepared to work onsite 5 days per week.

Salary / Benefits: In addition to a Competitive Salary and the opportunity to work in a state of the art facility near the South Devon coast, my client offers a range of Benefits including Stock Options, 25 days holiday, and relocation assistance.

How to Find Hidden Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IOP & More

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK by leveraging organisations like the Institute of Physics (IOP), BCS, Quantum Technology Hubs, UKRI, and other key communities. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.
