Semiconductor Jobs

• Oxford
• Lead · manages people

Lead a three-person electronics team within the Systems group, acting as a player-coach with roughly 60% leadership and 40% hands-on design. Own the electronics roadmap for quantum systems, from schematic capture and PCB layout through board and system-level test, including mixed-signal, high-speed digital and QPU drive architecture, while moving prototypes to rack-ready production.
