Are you an experienced Electrical Test Engineer looking to take your skills to the next level in a high-tech, fast-paced environment? This is your chance to join a growing team at the forefront of innovation in semiconductor and micro/nano-structure technology.

We're working with a leading engineering company based near Bristol that delivers precision tools and systems used in everything from quantum computing and medical diagnostics to electric vehicles. Due to sustained growth, they are looking to bring four new Test Engineers on board to support the testing and delivery of complex, cutting-edge products.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Conduct functional testing on high-tech systems, ensuring full compliance with detailed test procedures.

  • Own your product throughout the test phase, proactively resolving technical issues and faults.

  • Support continuous improvement and fault analysis initiatives to enhance product quality.

  • Accurately capture data, report issues (FRACAS), and work closely with engineering and production teams.

  • Participate in pre-acceptance visits and, on occasion, travel to customer sites for system commissioning.

  • Champion 5S and contribute to safety, quality, and cleanliness across the test department.

    What We’re Looking For:

  • Time-served Electrical apprenticeship or qualifications such as City & Guilds Level 3, HNC, HND, or BTech in Electrical Engineering.

  • Strong hands-on testing and fault-finding experience to component level.

  • Proven ability to follow technical procedures and maintain documentation to high standards.

  • A team player with excellent communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

  • Comfortable working on a rotating shift pattern and open to occasional travel when required.

    What’s In It For You:

  • £33,000 – £39,000 base + 20% shift allowance

  • Total package: £39,600 – £46,800

  • Early finish on Fridays, 25 days holiday, private healthcare, and a tailored benefits package.

  • Long-term career development within a highly respected engineering company.

  • Opportunity to work on genuinely pioneering technology in a collaborative, high-energy environment.

    If you are interested, please call Sam Bishop on (phone number removed) or apply online

  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK to apply for this position

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

Quantum computing is no longer a future concept—it’s a fast-growing industry with real-world applications in materials science, cryptography, optimisation, and drug discovery. As the UK doubles down on its National Quantum Strategy, demand for quantum computing talent is surging across academia, startups, and enterprise R&D. Welcome to the Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the programming languages, frameworks, libraries & platforms shaping the UK quantum jobs market. Whether you’re transitioning from physics, software engineering or data science, this radar shows you what to learn to stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

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. 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.
