  • Carrying out all testing and validation activities, including but not limited to NVH, environmental, structural durability and performance testing. This will include working closely with external test bodies such as MIRA and CSA and working in a ISO17025 test lab environment

  • Log test results and analyse and interpret test data using data logging and data analysis software

  • Compile technical reports providing reasoned proposals and solutions for further product improvement

    In exchange they offer a great work environment, good benefits and a stable role in a company committed to its improvement and ongoing growth as well as the chance to work with cutting edge technology including electric vehicles. Recognised for their investment in people and committed to a positive work life balance for their employees they also offer a strong flexible working policy.

    To carry out this role they are seeking an experienced Test & Development engineer with the following skills and experience:

  • Degree or HNC/HND qualified plus 3+ years industry experience in vehicle testing and development

  • A good understanding of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic principles

  • Able to read technical drawings and schematics as well as interrogate CAD data.

  • Experience in Test rig design and build

  • Experience in DVP, DFMEA and project coordination

  • Knowledge of CANbus, able to collate, read and interpret CAN data

  • Able to set up test instrumentation such as strain gauges, load cells, transducers, accelerometers, racelogic loggers and metrology equipment.

  • Experience using a Data Acquisition System such as HBM QuantumX DAQ, Dewesoft or similar

  • Experience using Data analysis software such as MATLAB

  • Strong fault diagnosis and root analysis skills

  • Knowledge of industry regulations and standards such as ECWVTA requirements and legislation for the US.

  • Experience testing electrical vehicles is beneficial but not essential

Negotiating Your Quantum Computing Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Reflects the Cutting-Edge Nature of Quantum Tech in the UK Introduction Quantum computing stands at the forefront of technological revolution—holding the potential to transform fields ranging from cryptography and drug discovery to climate modelling and finance. As a mid‑senior professional in this evolving domain, your expertise could drive breakthrough algorithms, optimise quantum hardware performance, or steer complex research initiatives. Given the unprecedented possibilities this technology unlocks, top-tier talent is in high demand, and employers often craft job offers that extend well beyond a conventional salary. Yet, many quantum specialists focus primarily on base pay when evaluating a new role. While salary certainly matters, it’s only one component of a multi-faceted compensation package that may include equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks designed for the unique demands of quantum research. By understanding—and negotiating—these additional components, you can position yourself to reap both immediate and long-term rewards that accurately reflect your impact in this cutting-edge sector. This guide unpacks every critical aspect of negotiating a quantum computing job offer. From exploring equity schemes that tie your success to that of the company, to leveraging milestone-driven bonuses that recognise breakthroughs in quantum algorithms or hardware, you’ll learn how to confidently pursue an offer that acknowledges your high-value contributions and sets you on a trajectory for success in the UK’s rapidly maturing quantum ecosystem.

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.
