Five open positions across Britain's hard tech sector this week — two software, two hardware, one ops.
Software Engineering & AI
Software Engineer – Applications and User Interface — Salience Labs
Build the applications and user interfaces for Salience Labs' silicon photonics optical switches, which cut latency between compute nodes in AI data centres to around 10ns. An Oxford spinout moving towards real-world deployment.
- Location: Abingdon (Hybrid)
Senior AI / Agentic Engineer — PhysicsX
Develop agentic AI systems for PhysicsX's physics AI platform, which predicts how engineered products behave in seconds for aerospace, semiconductor, automotive and energy customers. Backed by more than $450M in funding.
- Location: London (Hybrid)
Hardware Engineering
Senior Verification Engineer — AccelerComm
Own UVM verification of AccelerComm's error correction IP for 5G, 6G and satellite networks. The Southampton spinout's LDPC and POLAR technology already runs on more than 200 satellites in orbit.
- Location: Cambridge or Southampton (Hybrid)
Power Integrity Engineer — Graphcore
Design robust power delivery for Graphcore's AI compute systems. The Bristol chipmaker, acquired by SoftBank in 2024, builds Intelligence Processing Units designed from the ground up for machine learning.
- Location: Bristol
Commercial & Operations
Strategic Partnerships Manager (Platform Partnerships) — CuspAI
Grow the platform partner network at CuspAI, which uses generative AI to discover new materials for semiconductors and clean energy. Its AI Materials Foundry already spans 45+ partners including NVIDIA and Samsung.
