About the Role

We are seeking aMachine Learning / AI Engineerwith expertise inmodel optimisation, acceleration, and deployment on AI accelerators(GPUs, NPUs, ONNX-compatible hardware). You will work onalgorithm development, performance tuning, and benchmarkingof a new AI accelerator to different AI applications (LLM's/ViT's/DiT's/CompVision). Knowledge ofoptical computing and photonics-based AI accelerationis highly beneficial.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, optimise, and accelerate ML models usingTensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX.
  • Implementquantisation, pruning, and other optimisation techniquesto improve model efficiency.
  • Benchmark AI models on various accelerators (GPUs, NPUs, TPUs, optical computing platforms) and fine-tune performance.
  • Optimise inference and training pipelines for speed, energy efficiency, and hardware compatibility.
  • Work withCUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, and other low-level libraries for AI acceleration.
  • Explore and applyoptical computing techniquesfor next-generation AI acceleration.
  • Collaborate with software, hardware, and optical computing teams to ensure seamless deployment.

Requirements

  • Strong experience inPythonwithTensorFlow/PyTorch.
  • Experience inAI model optimisation techniques(quantisation, pruning, knowledge distillation).
  • Knowledge ofAI accelerators(GPUs, NPUs, ONNX, TensorRT, OpenVINO).
  • Hands-on experience withbenchmarking toolsand performance profiling.
  • Understanding of parallel computing, memory optimisation, and hardware-aware ML development.
  • Familiarity withoptical computing concepts(photonics, optical neural networks) is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Experience withlow-level CUDA programmingfor deep learning.
  • Familiarity withedge AIand deploying models on embedded systems.
  • Exposure tooptical-based AI accelerationand photonics-driven hardware.
  • Experience with large-scale distributed training (e.g., Horovod, DeepSpeed).

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.
