Process Engineer – Huntingdon
Permanent | £40k - 45k + Benefits | 5 days on site
 
I’m supporting a world-leading technology business pushing the limits of microfabrication and advanced manufacturing. They’re looking for a Senior Process Engineer to lead process development, optimisation, and support for wafer, MEMS, and semiconductor manufacturing lines.
You’ll be at the centre of driving continuous improvement, industrialising new products, and introducing next-generation process technologies.
The Role

Develop, support, and optimise manufacturing processes to minimise variation and defects.
Implement in-process controls and continuous improvement initiatives.
Carry out root cause analysis and structured problem solving on production issues.
Identify and prioritise cost-saving measures across manufacturing lines.
Propose, risk-assess, and validate process changes.
Support the introduction of new production equipment and technologies. 
Essential Skills & Experience

Degree (or equivalent experience) in an engineering or physical sciences discipline.
Strong technical understanding of precision manufacturing processes.
Knowledge of process development, SPC, and root cause analysis
Confident using data analysis tools to monitor and improve process performance.
Hands-on experience with failure analysis and problem-solving methodologies.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to work closely with production and equipment teams. 
Desirable

Experience with Six Sigma or Lean methodologies.
Exposure to new product or process introduction (NPI).
Familiarity with automated assembly or software-based control systems.
Understanding of materials and joining processes (e.g. adhesives, metal deposition)
Experience in laser processing, machining, electrical testing, or metrology (optical, tactile, or vision systems).
Competence with CAD tools. 
Why Join

Work on next-generation technology in a collaborative, high-performance team.
Be part of a culture that values creativity, integrity, collaboration, innovation and passion

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.
