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.
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.
Cambridge GaN Devices Cambridge
Senior leadership role owning the packaging function for GaN power semiconductors, combining people leadership with hands-on design of wirebond, flip chip and embedded packages. Involves multiphysics simulation, supplier development, qualification testing and roadmap input, working with internal teams and overseas partners from the Cambridge office.
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
