Senior AnalogMixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the Top 100 Startups worth watchingin the EE Times and our technology breakthroughs have been featured inThe TelegraphBBC and theNew Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. Were backed by a team of top-tier investors and we have recently closed ourSeries C funding of $160 million.

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers integrated circuit (IC) engineers quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique world-leading team working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.

Our team of 100 is based in Oxford and London with a centre of mass in our Islington lab.

TheIC Teamis responsible for the design and test of the integrated circuits which operate at deep-cryogenic temperatures and interact with the qubits. This role is a unique chance to work at the bleeding edge of technology development where you will measure optimise and analyse the performance of innovative circuits to tackle the engineering challenge of implementing a large-scale quantum computer in silicon.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an early employee at a start-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.
