We’re looking for passionate, innovative technologists to join us on our exciting journey.

What The Job Involves

• Use your advanced knowledge of analog design to architect and define next-generation System on Chip analog architectures, starting with the definition of requirements from application assumptions, stakeholder requirements and system architecture proposals
• Drive the development and execution of relevant research to evaluate impacts on cost, performance, power and software usability
• Collaborate with IP providers to successfully implement third-party IP and support any development custom silicon designs from micro-architecture to design and design qualification
• Drive circuit design and its flow to GDS, working closely with physical design, DFT, and verification experts, all the way through to post-silicon validation
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (e.g. software, CPU, verification, R&D, security, etc.) to optimise your designs
• Contribute to roadmap planning, design reviews, and silicon bring-up
• Write detailed technical documentation; review technical documentation for peers and other engineers.
• This is a Hybrid role, with a mixture of working from SECQAI’s office in London or Bristol, and at home
• We know how important it is to build in a customer-centric way, so you may be asked to travel to meet SECQAI’s customers and partners in person
• Maintaining the highest standards of integrity: you’ll protect SECQAI’s operations and that of our clients by maintaining confidentiality at all times

Who you are

• You have a B.Eng., M.Eng. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field (or equivalent industry experience)

• You are a power user of relevant tools from leading providers (e.g. Cadence or Synopsys), across every stage of the design flow
• You have led a team of engineers
• You’re inquisitive and a self-starter. You love learning, solving problems outside of your comfort zone, starting new things and taking them through to production, all the while learning from your mistakes
• You enjoy collaborating with and supporting a wide range of peers and mentors
• You set a high bar for your own work (both how it works, and how it looks)

Desirable

• You have experience working with RISC-V & CHERI ISAs
• You have experience collaborating with photonics engineers on integrated photonics design
• You have functional safety and security knowledge
• You have taken multiple designs from conceptualisation through to tape-out
• You’re interested in building secure systems and platforms, and have knowledge of relevant security standards

The perks

• Competitive Salary
• Generous employee option programme
• Opportunity to work collaboratively with leaders in the field
• Opportunity to help shape and build the technical side of the organisation
• Benefits package: we’re committed to evolving the benefits package as we grow. We'll want to know what matters to you! Of course, that’s in addition to the snack cupboard you can find in our office!
