Senior High-Speed Custom Logic Design Engineer
💷 £70k–£90k + bonus | 📍 Leeds (onsite) | Permanent
We're working with a pioneering UK deep-tech company building programmable silicon photonic compute, performing operations directly within the data path to support AI, cybersecurity, and scientific workloads.
You'll own the timing-critical custom logic at the heart of a high-speed, compute-enabled PHY that links photonic, analogue, and digital subsystems.
What we're after:
- ✅ Custom digital or high-speed mixed-signal IC design, with multiple tapeouts
- ✅ Strong transistor-level CMOS: datapaths, clocking, timing, and SI trade-offs
- ✅ Hands-on Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre (or similar)
- ✅ Taking logic from spec through layout sign-off to silicon debug
- ✅ Advanced nodes (7nm/12nm, FinFET) a real plus
- ✅ Python, Tcl, or SKILL automation a bonus

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This isn't block-level work on someone else's architecture. You'll define the microarchitecture, design SerDes datapaths, flip-flops, and memory banks, and guide layout through to tapeout and first-silicon bring-up.
You'll work closely with the Director of Photonics and a small, sharp team of analogue, photonic, and physical design engineers, making trade-offs that directly shape a genuinely new kind of compute.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, get in touch for a confidential chat.
