Quantum Motion Technologies is a fast-growing quantum computing startup based in London, founded by internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University. The company develops quantum processors based on industrial-grade silicon chips with applications in materials modelling, medicine, artificial intelligence, and more. The team of 100+ is distributed across London, Sydney, San Sebastian, and Maryland, with the main hub in Islington.
The R&D Project Manager will provide project management support to multidisciplinary scientific and engineering teams, both internally and with external partners including academic institutions, supply chain partners, and customers. The role has a particular focus on Analog/RF IC Design projects, requiring strong planning, organization, and motivation to support successful project delivery.
Key responsibilities include:
- Prepare project plans, schedules, and budgets in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, with primary focus on IC development projects
- Track costs versus budget and work closely with the financial/accounting team
- Manage interactions with aggregators and foundries regarding IC design and tapeouts
- Work with technical teams to manage development timelines and milestones, resolve problems, and run project update meetings
- Prepare high-quality project reports for external funding agencies, management, clients, and stakeholders
- Review status updates from project personnel and modify schedules or plans as required
- Identify risks and challenges to successful project execution, devise and implement risk mitigation strategies, and communicate them to stakeholders
- Support proposal writing efforts, particularly with planning and budgeting

Strong communication skills with physicists, IC engineers, and project stakeholders are essential. Experience managing government-funded projects (such as Innovate UK) is particularly welcome but not essential.
Quantum Motion offers competitive salary, share options, contributory pension, flexible working, and a central London location with collaborative culture.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Demonstrated experience across all phases of Analog ASIC design flow (architecture, schematic design, layout, fabrication, post-silicon validation)
- Experience managing technical interface with IC manufacturing partners
- Hands-on Analog IC design and project management experience
- Ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously
- Adaptability and ability to contribute in highly agile environment
- Strong communication skills with physicists, IC engineers, and project stakeholders
