We are seeking a Manufacturing Process Engineer to support the development and optimisation of manufacturing processes and facilities for advanced product assembly.

This role focuses on designing, implementing and improving processes, tooling and automation solutions to ensure safe, efficient and high‑quality production. You will play a key part in shaping manufacturing capability from early concept through to full production, working across multidisciplinary teams in a fast‑paced engineering environment.

The Manufacturing Process Engineer will be responsible for:

Developing and implementing manufacturing processes for assembly and test operations.

Designing and validating jigs, fixtures and tooling to support production.

Supporting the integration of automation systems, including robotics and control systems.

Working with internal teams and suppliers to procure and commission equipment and tooling.

Ensuring processes meet quality, cost and performance targets.

Supporting manufacturing activities through early build phases and into production.

The Manufacturing Process Engineer will have:

3-5 years' experience in a process engineering role within a low to medium volume assembly environment.

Experience in low‑volume process engineering and development, ideally within battery or advanced product manufacturing.

Strong CAD capability (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor) for fixture and tooling design.

Practical experience designing and integrating automation and control systems.

Strong understanding of precision assembly, process control, testing requirements and layout flow.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office, CAD and relevant simulation or engineering tools.

If you are a Manufacturing Process Engineer who enjoys developing practical manufacturing solutions, working with evolving technologies and supporting complex build environments, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply using a recently updated version of your CV and a member of the EVera team will be in touch

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.

Semiconductor Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Semiconductors are the foundational technology of the modern world. Every smartphone, electric vehicle, data centre, medical device, satellite, and AI accelerator depends on them. And yet for much of the past decade, the strategic importance of semiconductor design and manufacturing was something that governments, investors, and employers took largely for granted — until supply chain crises, geopolitical tensions, and the insatiable compute demands of artificial intelligence made the vulnerability of global semiconductor supply chains impossible to ignore. The response has been significant and sustained. The UK's National Semiconductor Strategy, the US CHIPS Act, the EU Chips Act, and parallel investment programmes across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have collectively committed hundreds of billions of pounds to semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing capability. In the UK specifically, that investment is beginning to translate into real hiring — across compound semiconductor manufacturing, chip design, semiconductor equipment, advanced packaging, and the growing ecosystem of fabless design companies that are choosing Britain as their base. For job seekers, the semiconductor jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is more commercially urgent, more geographically distributed, and more technically diverse than at any previous point in the sector's UK history. The roles being created span the full semiconductor value chain — from fundamental materials research and process engineering through chip design, verification, and the software that makes silicon useful. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where that value chain is being built, which technical areas are attracting the most investment, and how to position their skills at the intersection of the sector's greatest needs. This article breaks down what the UK semiconductor jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most strategically important technology sectors in the UK economy.

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.
