Photonics Engineer

Photonic Test Engineer

We are seekingmultiple experienced IC Designerswho are looking for an opportunity to develop groundbreaking quantum-based sensors.


You’ll have the opportunity to work on projects that are fundamentally reshaping magnetic sensing capabilities, with the potential to revolutionise several industries.


Following several award wins, grant funding, and a £1.9 million Seed Investment, our client is poised for an exceptional 2025. With deep expertise in magnetic sensing, semiconductors, and AI, you’ll be joining a skilled and accomplished team at a period of significant expansion.


The Role

We are open to considering engineers at various levels of seniority. You’ll be involved in every step of the IC design process, from the initial concept to production silicon.


This includes contributing to the specification and architectural development, working on Analog IC Design, supervising layout, and helping with validation, testing, and final product release.


You will be joining a tight-knit and experienced R&D team in what will be a busy, hands-on environment, offering you an exciting challenge to continue developing your design skillset.


To thrive in this role, you will have:

  • A degree in electronics engineering or a related field
  • A minimum of 2+ years’ experience in Analog/Mixed signal CMOS circuit design.
  • Analog IC design fundamentals on sub-micron CMOS processes, including knowledge of low geometry physical design.
  • The ability to work independently on block-level implementation and verification.
  • The ability to demonstrate a holistic view by considering packaging technologies and layout trade-offs during the design process.


In return, you can expect:

  • An excellent starting salary and benefits package.
  • Access to private medical insurance and life insurance schemes.
  • The opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies and innovative products.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • Visa sponsorship may be offered where applicable.

Quantum Computing Jobs in the Public Sector: Transforming Government, Defence, and Research

Quantum computing represents one of the most revolutionary technological frontiers of the 21st century, promising computational capabilities far beyond the reach of classical computers. By leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, quantum computers can solve certain problems—like complex optimisation tasks or molecular simulations—exponentially faster. This paradigm shift is not only attracting attention from tech giants and research universities but also from the public sector, where breakthroughs can profoundly impact everything from national security to public healthcare and beyond. In the United Kingdom, government bodies, research councils, and defence agencies have been proactive in exploring quantum computing’s potential. The UK National Quantum Technologies Programme, significant investments from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and leading institutions like the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) are all advancing quantum technologies. As a result, quantum computing jobs within the public sector are on the rise, offering a unique blend of intellectual challenge, societal impact, and long-term career stability. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into why quantum computing is crucial for government initiatives, explore the key public sector organisations driving adoption, outline the typical job roles, discuss the skills and qualifications needed, and provide practical advice on finding and securing a quantum computing position in the UK public sector. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how you can leverage your expertise in quantum computing to shape the future of public services—contributing to national security, healthcare, climate modelling, and more.

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.
