    • Undertake end‑to‑end CPU design—from high‑level conceptual modelling to RTL development and performance verification.
    • Innovate novel architectural features (e.g. memory safety, speculative execution, out‑of‑order pipelines, branch prediction, custom ISA extensions)
    • Model and evaluate all aspects of the highly complex process flow, from high‑level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification
    • Evaluate trade‑offs between architectural complexity and power/performance benefits
    • Collaborate with cross‑disciplinary teams (e.g. software, SOC, verification, R&D, security, etc.) to optimize your designs
    • Contribute to roadmap planning, design reviews, and silicon bring‑up
    • Write detailed technical documentation; reviews 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

    • You have an up‑to‑date knowledge of industry‑standard design tools from leading providers (e.g. Cadence, Synopsys, OpenRoad)
    • 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
