  • Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions
  • Taking ownership of electrical system and subsystem design
  • Driving best practice across product development, from concept through to delivery
  • Identifying and managing technical risks, ensuring effective solutions are implemented
  • Supporting safety, compliance, and testing activities
  • Encouraging modular, efficient design to improve reuse and innovation
  • Playing a key role in problem-solving and continuous improvement


What We’re Looking For
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong background in electrical design and product development
  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers
  • Knowledge of working in regulated or compliance-driven environments
  • Familiarity with relevant standards (e.g. LVD, EMC, Functional Safety)
  • Experience in complex engineering industries (semiconductors or similar is a bonus)
  • A proactive mindset with strong communication and problem-solving skills


What’s in It for You?

Alongside a competitive salary of up to £63,000, you’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package including:

Financial & Security

  • Bonus up to 7.5% of basic annual salary
  • Pension with company contribution of up to 8%
  • Life assurance of 4 x basic salary

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

Where to advertise semiconductor jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic channels and community routes that actually reach IC, fab and EDA talent. 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.
