Job description

FPGA / Embedded Systems Engineer - Quantum Technology

Location: UK / Hybrid

Sector: Quantum Computing, Scientific Hardware & Advanced Computing

Level: Mid-Senior to Principal

We're looking to connect with experienced FPGA and Embedded Systems Engineers interested in working at the intersection of advanced electronics, scientific computing and quantum technology.

Europe's quantum hardware ecosystem is growing rapidly and creating demand for engineers capable of designing the high-performance electronics and control systems required to operate increasingly sophisticated quantum systems.

Importantly, previous quantum computing experience isn't essential.

We're particularly interested in engineers from semiconductor, aerospace, defence, telecoms, robotics, scientific instrumentation and other complex hardware environments who would consider applying their expertise within quantum technology.

Areas of interest

We're looking to speak with engineers experienced in areas including:

• FPGA design and development
• FPGA verification
• Embedded systems
• Embedded C / C++
• Digital electronics
• High-speed electronics
• RF and signal processing
• Hardware/software integration
• Real-time control systems
• Test and validation
• Hardware control platforms

Your background

You may currently work within:

• Semiconductors
• Scientific instrumentation
• Telecoms
• Robotics
• High-performance computing
• Advanced hardware

We're particularly interested in engineers who enjoy solving difficult technical problems where hardware, firmware and software interact.

Many of the engineering challenges facing quantum computing companies require expertise already established within semiconductor, electronics, FPGA and embedded engineering environments.

For engineers interested in moving into quantum technology, we're particularly keen to understand your existing technical expertise and the type of technology you'd like to work with next.

Why connect?

We're developing a specialist network across Europe's quantum and advanced-computing ecosystem and want to speak with engineers who may be interested in opportunities within this rapidly developing market.

Whether you're actively looking or simply curious about how your experience could transfer into quantum technology, we'd be interested in having a confidential conversation.
