Process Engineer – Photonics / Fibre Optics

I’m working with a leading business in the advanced fibre-optic communications space who are looking to hire a Process Engineer.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in high-precision assembly and test processes who wants to work on genuinely cutting-edge technology.

The Role

As Process Engineer, you’ll be central to improving and optimising manufacturing processes, as well as supporting the introduction of new products and technologies into production. The position involves:

Driving continuous improvement in assembly and test processes.
Supporting new product and process introduction with a focus on manufacturability, cost, reliability and test.
Hands-on optimisation of precision alignment, laser soldering/welding and other micro-assembly processes.
Collaborating with engineering, operations, and suppliers to ensure smooth product transfer into manufacturing.
Designing and running experiments, analysing data and reporting conclusions.
Contributing to quality, automation, and cost-reduction initiatives.What They’re Looking For
Degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience such as BTEC HND with significant industry background).
Strong experience developing and qualifying assembly/test processes in high-technology sectors such as fibre optics, photonics, or communications hardware.
A track record of successfully transferring new products and processes into manufacturing.
Hands-on experience with precision assembly techniques (optical alignment, laser processes, etc.).
Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Strong communication skills, comfortable liaising with suppliers and customers.
Confident with data analysis and problem-solving techniques; familiarity with PowerBI or automation is advantageous.
Willingness to travel to manufacturing sites and vendors as required.Why This Could Be For You
Chance to work on innovative photonics technology with real-world impact.
Blend of hands-on engineering and strategic process development.
Collaborative environment with opportunities for career growth.
A role where precision, quality, and innovation are genuinely valued

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Semiconductor Job Applications (UK Guide)

The semiconductor industry is fast-moving, highly technical and critically important to modern technology. Whether you’re targeting roles in device design, process engineering, yield improvement, test and validation, equipment engineering, reliability, failure analysis or fab operations, hiring managers are selective and deliberate in how they review applications. Most candidates still make the same mistake: they throw generic skill lists and duty statements at recruiters and hope it sticks. In reality, hiring managers make an early call — often within the first 10–20 seconds — based on a few key signals that tell them whether you’re a credible, relevant, impactful candidate. This article breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in semiconductor job applications — how they scan your CV, portfolio and cover letter, what makes them read deeper, and what causes strong candidates to be passed over in favour of others.
