We’re have an excellent opportunity for an expereinced Electronics Design Engineer to join a leading video technology company used by professional worldwide. As Electronics Design Engineer you will take ownership of hardware design work across the full product lifecycle — from early concept through to manufacture.

This role suits someone who enjoys solving complex engineering problems, working close to production, and seeing their designs become finished products.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Designing electronic systems from concept through to production-ready hardware

* Creating schematics and complex, multi-layer PCB layouts, balancing performance, signal integrity and manufacturability

* Developing and programming electronic components to meet functional and performance requirements

* Supporting prototype bring-up, debugging and fault-finding down to component level

* Contributing to system-level EMC design and validation, including pre-compliance activities

* Designing and building bespoke test equipment and fixtures to support development and production testing

* Supporting products through NPI and into volume manufacture

* Working closely with mechanical, firmware and manufacturing partners

* Collaborating with contract manufacturers to ensure smooth transfer from design to production

* Producing clear, structured technical documentation to support long-term product support

What We’re Looking For

* Proven experience in analogue and digital electronic design

* Strong schematic capture and PCB design skills, including dense or complex layouts

* Understanding of microprocessors, programmable logic and embedded electronics

* Practical experience debugging, validating and refining hardware designs

* Exposure to EMC design at system level

* Comfortable working to deadlines and balancing quality with delivery

* Methodical approach to documentation, testing and design records

* Confident communicator who works well in multidisciplinary teams

Nice to Have (But Not Essential)

* Experience with high-end PCB design tools

* Simulation tools (e.g. SPICE-based environments)

* Formal EMC, safety or environmental compliance testing

* HDL knowledge (e.g. VHDL)

* Experience working alongside mechanical CAD teams

If you enjoy hands-on electronics design, working close to manufacturing, and taking pride in robust, well-engineered hardware, apply now for consideration

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.

How Many Semiconductor Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Semiconductor Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the semiconductor industry, it can feel like you’re expected to master an endless list of tools, software packages and lab equipment before you even submit a CV. One job advert wants experience with TCAD and process simulation, another mentions SPICE and yield tools, while yet another asks for test automation platforms, yield analysis software, hardware description languages, EDA suites and hundreds of others. With so many technical names thrown around, it’s easy to fall into “tool anxiety” — the feeling that you’re behind because you don’t know every piece of software, every lab instrument and every process control suite. Here’s the honest truth most semiconductor hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real engineering problems and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter, absolutely. But they exist to help you deliver measurable results — not to be collected like badges. So how many semiconductor tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer is a lot fewer than you might think — and far more focused on core capabilities than a long checklist. This guide breaks down what employers really value, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you are confident and credible.
