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).

Functions of the Role

The role responsibilities include:

  • Responsible for developing and maintaining all EDA environments within the company.
  • Managing the EDA team resources across multiple projects and teams.
  • Work alongside with the design and layout engineers in the tape-out flow ensuring the quality of the submitted GDS.
  • Managing the interface with the foundry for ASIC fabrication flows.
  • Supporting the design teams providing technical expertise on tools usage and workflows.
  • Developing scripts to automate and improve design processes.
  • Debugging EDA issues including raising support tickets with tool vendors

Experience - Essentials

  • 15y+ of experience supporting the delivery of CMOS ASICs in advanced PDKs
  • Demonstrated experience interfacing foundry/aggregators with solid understanding of the fabrication deliveries and sign-off criteria.
  • Proficiency with the following EDA suites: Cadence Virtuoso, Siemens Calibre and Keysight ADS.
  • Scripting ability in most of these - Python, skill, Bash, Perl.

Experience - Desirable

  • Experience interfacing external IP vendors of digital and analogue IPs (logic, IOs, etc.).
  • Experience with Git data management.
  • AWS exposure

Benefits

  • Be part of a creative, world-leading team
  • Competitive salary and share options scheme
  • Contributory pension scheme

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
