Senior Verification Engineer

Cambridge


I am seeking a Senior Verification Engineer to join a rapidly growing HW Team in Cambridge. You will get the opportunity to work on cutting edge technology and in the area of quantum computing. No prior experience in quantum computing? No problem. You'll learn as you go while working alongside world-class engineers in a truly cross-disciplinary environment.


About the Role

As aSenior Verification Engineer, you’ll take full ownership offunctional verificationacross their hardware systems. You’ll collaborate with a talented team of hardware designers and embedded software engineers to deliver trusted, high-performance solutions—verified from the ground up. With full visibility of the stack, you’ll define verification strategies, implement robust test environments, and ensure confidence in every design you deliver.


What You’ll Do

  • Work closely with hardware designers and system architects to define and ownverification plansbased on design specifications
  • Developscalable SystemVerilog testbenches, including checkers, coverage groups, and reference models
  • Design and runself-checking, directed, and randomized tests
  • Maintain the verification environment, including trackingregressions, bugs, and coverage metrics
  • Drive quality and performance across block-level and system-level designs


Core skills

  • Strong commercial experience infunctional verification, with ownership of verification strategy and planning
  • Expertise intestbench designusing frameworks like UVM or OVM
  • Proficiency withSystemVerilog assertions (SVA)
  • Familiarity with multiple programming languages (e.g.,C, C++, Python)


Visa sponsorship will be provided for candidates who require. Please note, you must already be living and working in the United Kingdom.


You must also be prepared to work onsite 3 days per week in Cambridge.

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.

Quantum Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Quantum Department

Quantum computing has shifted from lab curiosity to the next frontier of high-impact computing. Across the UK, universities, national labs, start-ups, and established tech and finance firms are building quantum teams to explore algorithms, design hardware, and deliver quantum-ready software. As momentum grows, so does the need for clear, robust team structures. Because quantum R&D spans physics, engineering, computer science, and product, ambiguity about who does what can slow progress, increase risk, and inflate costs. This guide maps the typical roles in a modern quantum computing department, how they collaborate across the research-to-product lifecycle, skills and backgrounds UK employers expect, indicative salary ranges, common pitfalls, and practical ways to structure teams that move fast without breaking science.
