An opportunity to join a specialist engineering team building low‑power FPGA solutions used in demanding real‑world environments. Although the core of the work is FPGA module development, there are opportunities to work on software or broader electronics IF you have a broader skillset, but it’s not a requirement.

This role exists due to growth: the FPGA team maintains a shared library of modules that sit at the heart of multiple products, and demand for new and enhanced products continues to increase.

You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, software and mechanical engineers as products move from concept to production.

Hybrid working arrangement, 2 days in the office.

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.
