IonQ Oxford
This role involves leading the validation and characterisation of analogue and mixed-signal ASICs for trapped-ion quantum processors. Responsibilities include test planning, platform development, first-silicon bring-up, and system integration, with a focus on cryogenic testing and reusable automation.
Cambridge GaN Devices Cambridge
Design GaN power ICs and Si gate drivers using EDA tools, covering schematic capture, RTL, analog/digital and mixed-signal simulation, synthesis, STA, PNR and AMS verification. Also develops test solutions, analyses wafer-level and packaged device data, documents designs, debugs ICs and generates IP for patent applications within a growing R&D engineering team.
IonQ Oxford
Integrate all features needed to operate quantum computers into complex multi-layer ion-trapping chips, guiding designs from requirements through layout and tape-out. Work closely with scientists and fabrication engineers on metal-track routing and photonics/CMOS interfaces, using GDSFactory in Python and Cadence. Hybrid role, three days per week in the Oxford office.
Belcan Newport £85 ph
Owns the full FPGA development lifecycle on a defence and aerospace programme, from requirements capture and architecture through VHDL implementation, verification and integration onto target hardware. Also leads and mentors other engineers, manages work packages to cost and quality targets, and reports progress to engineering leadership. Based fully on-site in Newport under SC clearance.
Cambridge GaN Devices Cambridge
Design and layout of GaN power ICs using EDA tools, covering schematic capture, analog simulation, chip layout review, PEX and PLS. The role also involves wafer-level and packaged device testing, SPICE model development, and supporting patent and IP management within a growing R&D engineering team.
