Manage design processes and teams, oversee financial and contractual obligations, mentor junior staff, and ensure quality and compliance in design outputs.

The Senior Proposal Engineer leads the bidding process for complex projects, manages proposal preparation, evaluates bids, and coordinates handover after contract award.

Lead customer-facing technical efforts to drive adoption of the Virtuoso platform for custom analog and FinFET layouts. Build SKILL utilities, create test schematics/layouts, author PRSs, validate features with PV, deliver demos/RAKs, train sales/pre-sales, and collect structured customer feedback to guide R&D and product improvements.

Lead ASIC physical design activities from RTL to GDS including synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, CTS, timing optimization, extraction, physical verification, EMIR signoff, and IP integration. Drive automation with Python/Tcl/Bash, debug physical-design challenges, and collaborate closely with architecture, RTL, and verification teams to deliver multi-core in-memory compute SoCs.

Develop and apply open-source multi-energy system models and agent-based approaches to study interactions between electricity, heat, and hydrogen markets. Contribute to model development, scenario design, data analysis, publications, and stakeholder engagement with academic, policy and industry partners.

Lead earthing design studies and measurements for substations (up to 400 kV) including EMF calculations, EMI studies and lightning protection. Manage multiple projects, produce proposals, liaise with substation design teams, mitigate risks, and mentor junior engineers. Travel across the UK and overseas for site visits.

Design and deliver cable system engineering across life cycle stages including concept, detailed design, installation support and maintenance. Produce specifications and contractual documents, review and approve designs, solve technical issues, manage budgets/timetables, ensure CDM/HSE compliance, lead technical teams and innovate deliverables.

Design and implement user-facing features by combining high-quality visual design and frontend engineering. Improve and expand the design system, build flexible components, collaborate with Product Engineers, ship to users quickly, iterate from feedback, and support customer-facing issues. Work spans wireframing, UI implementation, and end-to-end technical delivery.

Design and implement polished UI/UX at scale, improve and extend the design system, collaborate with product engineers, ship end-to-end features, iterate with user feedback, and consult on bespoke design work while balancing visual design and engineering responsibilities.

Responsible for developing low-power, high-performance ICs in advanced CMOS processes, including design, validation, and post-silicon activities.

The Senior Physical Design Engineer will implement RTL to GDS2 physical designs for ASIC projects, collaborate with design teams, and enhance methodologies.

As a Staff Design Verification Engineer, you'll ensure the correctness of complex ASIC designs, develop verification plans, maintain testbenches, and mentor junior engineers.

Develop and maintain two production React Native mobile apps for doctors and patients. Build features, optimize performance, debug across JS and native layers, implement native integrations (Swift/Kotlin), use AI-assisted development tools, write tests, and collaborate asynchronously on a fully remote team.

Hands-on director-level product designer for enterprise SaaS who owns the design system, user psychology, dashboards, data visualizations, and habit-forming product mechanics. Designs workflows to drive adoption, retention, referrals, and expansion while partnering with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success. Prototypes, tests, and refines UX based on analytics and A/B experiments to align design with revenue metrics.

Design and develop customized warehousing and distribution solutions by analyzing client data into activity flows, process maps, layouts, and cost models. Collaborate with business development and project teams to present solutions, gather feedback, and transition designs to operations.
