IonQ · Oxford

Lead validation and characterisation of analogue and mixed-signal ASICs for trapped-ion quantum processors, from test planning and platform development through first-silicon bring-up, debug and system integration. The role spans room-temperature and cryogenic (around 4 K) measurements on packaged parts, chip-on-board assemblies and bare die, with heavy Python automation and test PCB work.

IonQ · Oxford

Owns the full lifecycle of electrical reliability fixes on operational trapped-ion quantum computers, from triaging and root-causing control and drive-electronics faults to designing, prototyping and retrofitting permanent solutions. Works across Operations, Science and Manufacturing on fleet-wide upgrades, standardising hardware and building telemetry to reduce downtime.

Lumai · Oxford

Owns signal and power integrity across high-speed boards and packages, running pre-layout channel studies, post-layout SI analysis with IBIS-AMI models, and PDN impedance and DC drop work for high-current ASIC and FPGA rails. Channels span chip, package, interposer, board and optical engine, with heavy bench correlation using VNAs, TDRs and oscilloscopes to feed design rules.

NVIDIA · Bristol

Join the HPSE Interface team to build and maintain C-based security software for NVIDIA's automotive platforms, working hands-on with PKCS#11 within the DRIVE OS security architecture. You'll develop, test, debug and integrate low-level software alongside hardware and OS components, collaborating with global cross-functional teams across the full software lifecycle.

Huber+Suhner Polatis · Cambridge

Design, verify and validate FPGA solutions for optical networking products, implementing VHDL logic on Xilinx Artix-7 devices using Vivado. Work spans requirements capture, test benches, timing closure, CDC analysis and lab bring-up with logic analysers, collaborating closely with electronics and software engineers.

MASS · Lincoln · £52,000 – £62,000 pa

As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will design and implement real-time signal processing systems for mission-critical applications in the electromagnetic warfare domain.
