Support the design and verification of analog integrated circuit blocks, from transistor-level schematic capture and simulation through layout review and debug. Work alongside experienced engineers on real silicon projects, documenting and presenting findings to the team.

NVIDIA · Bristol

Join the HPSE Interface team to build and maintain C-based security software for NVIDIA's automotive platforms, working hands-on with PKCS#11 within the DRIVE OS security architecture. You'll develop, test, debug and integrate low-level software alongside hardware and OS components, collaborating with global cross-functional teams across the full software lifecycle.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operate die prep tools and equipment, perform wafer inspection under a microscope, handle wafers and carry out manual tag assembly on a continental shift pattern. Work to SOPs, run process checks and keep activity logs in a lab environment, with full training provided and no formal qualifications required.

Octagon Group · Manchester · £30,000 – £40,000 pa

Supports yield and quality improvements across wafer fabrication and assembly, reviewing lots on hold and leading root cause analysis and corrective actions. Maintains automotive process controls, PROMIS routes and yield reports, and works with Python/R and SPC tools on new product introduction and Six Sigma projects in a cleanroom manufacturing setting.

STEM · Guildford · £44,000 – £47,000 pa

Graduates simulate and implement signal, image or data processing algorithms in VHDL for FPGAs, design PCBs with SoCs, high-speed network interfaces and analogue/RF filtering, and perform schematic capture in OrCAD. The role also covers managing PCB fabrication and assembly subcontractors, writing test firmware and developing Linux device drivers, within a consultancy serving government and technology clients.

Pertemps Bristol Industrial · Gloucester · £32 ph

Assemble mechanical components and sub-assemblies for vacuum systems used in semiconductor manufacturing. Work involves reading engineering drawings, using hand tools, and installing pipework and insulation. Multiple shift patterns available, including a high-paying short-term contract.

NVIDIA · Bristol

Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate leading high performance computing applications across scientific computing, computational engineering and data science. The intern performs in-depth analysis and optimisation for current and next-generation GPU architectures, working directly with application developers and collaborating with architecture, research, libraries, tools and system software teams.

Platform Recruitment · Cheltenham · £45,000 – £55,000 pa

Contribute to advanced electronic systems by implementing signal, image and data-processing algorithms in VHDL, designing PCBs with FPGAs, SoCs and high-speed interfaces, and completing schematic capture in OrCAD. The role also covers test firmware, embedded software, Linux device drivers and bringing up newly designed boards within a multidisciplinary engineering team.

Analog Devices · Newbury

Join the CSS design verification team to validate IP and subsystem-level designs for high-performance semiconductor products. You will develop System Verilog/UVM testbenches, run simulations, debug failures, and track functional and assertion coverage alongside design and architecture engineers.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Hands-on internship in a design verification team, validating IP and subsystem-level designs for high-performance semiconductor products. You will develop System Verilog/UVM testbenches, run simulations, debug failures, create directed and constrained-random tests, and track functional, code and assertion coverage while supporting regression automation with scripting.

The University of Manchester · Manchester · £21,805 pa

A 3.5-year funded PhD designing a Smart Network-on-Chip, an asynchronous communication fabric with intelligence built into its microarchitecture, to manage congestion in 2.5D chiplet systems. The work replaces static routing heuristics with data-driven, learning-based policies, building on an existing RTL-verified asynchronous NoC IP, with possible directions in lightweight inference engines and distributed adaptive traffic management.

Octagon Group · Southampton · £30,000 – £35,000 pa

Hands-on fabrication of specialist optical devices in a cleanroom, using photolithography, etching, dicing and other semiconductor processes to support development and manufacture of advanced optical components. The role splits time between the company's site and the University of Southampton's specialist fabrication facilities, working alongside experienced technicians and engineers.

Semtech · Sevenoaks

Designs analogue and mixed-signal subsystems for high-speed TIA and laser driver ICs supporting data rates up to 200G, taking ownership of blocks from concept through validation and volume production. Works with layout, verification and product teams on performance, power and area targets, using Cadence tools within a Stansted and Ottawa design centre.
