Contract: Full-Time, Permanent

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team working on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in delivering high-quality mechanical engineering solutions, supporting product development from concept through to production. You’ll act as a technical lead within projects, helping to shape design decisions, improve engineering practices, and ensure robust, compliant, and efficient solutions are delivered.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys technical ownership, collaboration across disciplines, and mentoring others while still staying close to hands-on engineering.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Taking technical responsibility for mechanical engineering delivery across projects, including subsystems and technology development
  • Leading and supporting mechanical engineering activities across cross-functional teams
  • Producing and guiding high-quality engineering work packages across multiple projects
  • Ensuring designs meet technical, safety, compliance, and regulatory requirements
  • Driving best practice in mechanical design (including manufacturability, cost, assembly, and maintainability)
  • Supporting progression of projects through key milestones into production
  • Acting as a role model for junior engineers, supporting development and training
  • Promoting engineering consistency, quality, and continuous improvement


What We’re Looking For
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BEng essential, MEng desirable or equivalent experience)
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and best practice
  • Experience using 2D and 3D CAD tools
  • Understanding of Design for Manufacture / Assembly / Cost / Maintainability principles
  • Experience working in a relevant engineering or manufacturing environment
  • Ability to interpret technical requirements and develop robust design solutions
  • Strong focus on delivery to project milestones and deadlines
  • Willingness to continue professional development and progress towards chartership (desirable)


What’s in It for You
  • Salary up to £53,000
  • Hybrid working model (office in Bristol + remote flexibility)
  • Opportunity to work on advanced, high-tech engineering projects
  • Career development and structured learning opportunities
  • Collaborative and supportive engineering culture
  • Exposure to complex, regulated, and innovative product development

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.
