Quantum Research Group is turning to foreign talent in a search for experienced embedded engineers and programmers as it seeks to add up to ten more to its development team to cope with growth in demand for its products. Quantum, which makes touch sensors for consumer, industrial and IT markets, has seen sales grow by 60% in the last year, both in standard products for touch buttons, panels, sliders and wheels, and for custom solutions. The company has secured design wins with all the major mobile phone companies and is also seeing substantial growth in domestic appliances, MP3 players and IT-related products.

'We need at least seven more experienced embedded hardware engineers and programmers now to capitalise on the opportunities we are seeing in the USA, Europe and across Asia', commented Hal Philipp, Quantum's CEO.

'By the end of this year, we'll need to add even more but there seems to be a real shortage of experienced talent in the UK'.

'We're now concentrating our recruitment search in foreign countries'.

'It's not a matter of trying to cut costs, it's simply one of trying to locate the right skills and that's where we believe we may now find them'.

'If we could recruit in the UK, we would', he added.

Quantum Research is a privately owned company that employs 36 people.

It is enjoying high year-on-year growth rates with its patented version of charge-transfer sensing as demand for touch-based controls grows.

'Well designed touch controls are more rugged, more reliable and leave more room for creative design to help companies differentiate their products', notes Philipp.

'Our technology delivers all these advantages without adding cost - that's what's creating a huge surge in demand worldwide', he concludes.
