ABOUT THE ROLE AND TEAM
The IC Team is responsible for the design and test of the integrated circuits which operate at deep-cryogenic temperatures and
interact with the qubits. This role is a unique chance to work at the bleeding edge of technology development, developing new
innovative circuits to tackle the engineering challenge of implementing a large scale quantum computer in silicon. You will be a
key part of a multidisciplinary team, and will be involved in all the aspects of IC design cycle from initial concept to volume
production.
As a Principal EDA Engineer you will be supporting design teams primarily working with a design flow. It’s an analogue flow using
commercial PDK’s but with internally developed add-ons to customize processes. You’ll work alongside other EDA support engineers,
as the eams grow and expand their remit.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an early employee at a start-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are
vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.
OUR TEAM
Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times in 2021 and 2022, and our
technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned
researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our
chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re
backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.
We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software
engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative
and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment
focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.
Our team of 100+ is based across London, Oxford, San Sebastián and Sydney, with our primary hub in Islington (London).
