Semiconductor Jobs

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Work alongside experienced engineers on the design, simulation, and characterization of high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs, including amplifiers, filters, data converters, and clocking solutions. Gain hands-on experience with Cadence and SPICE across circuit design, layout, silicon validation, and laboratory testing throughout the full IC development lifecycle.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Join a collaborative Edinburgh team developing low-power analog and power-management IP for highly integrated mixed-signal ICs. The intern contributes to architecture, transistor-level design, simulation and verification of DC/DC converter IP such as buck, boost and buck-boost topologies, including analog sub-circuits like error amplifiers, comparators and gate drivers. Work spans behavioural modelling, layout review and potentially laboratory silicon evaluation.

NVIDIA · Zürich, Switzerland

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 performance analysis and optimisation for current and next-generation GPU architectures, working with application developers and collaborating with architecture, research, libraries and tools teams.

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.

University of Warwick · Coventry · £21,805 pa

Develops medium-voltage solid-state transformer cells for hyperscale AI data centres and net-zero grids, tackling high-frequency power conversion, compact magnetic links and electrical-thermal degradation under high-dv/dt stress. Combines multi-physics finite-element modelling in ANSYS/COMSOL with experimental validation in a high-voltage power electronics lab, culminating in a scaled hardware prototype.

Search Consultancy · Greenock · £13 – £17 ph

Working within a clean room environment, you will support the semiconductor manufacturing process by following set procedures and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and accuracy in line with health and safety guidelines. Full training is provided, so no prior manufacturing experience is needed, and you will work rotational 12-hour day and night shifts as part of a team.

Teledyne FLIR · Chelmsford

Assembly and test operator role ensuring timely throughput of imaging devices while meeting quality requirements. Duties include microscope inspection, setting up and running tools, maintaining production records and reporting progress to the line manager, working in a cleanroom on alternating double day shifts.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operates production equipment in a 24/7 cleanroom, preparing, handling and processing substrates to standard operating procedures. Monitors equipment performance, logs process data into a Factory MES and maintains safe working practices. Suits those with lean, high-volume manufacturing experience; semiconductor or optical microscope skills are a plus.

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

A 3.5-year PhD project exploring topological and meta-structured surfaces for sensing, modulation and related applications, where the candidate runs optical simulations and fabricates devices. The role involves hands-on optical and materials testing, equipment setup, and potential industry collaboration, with scope to propose and drive related projects.

NVIDIA · Zürich, Switzerland

Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate deep learning, machine learning and other AI workloads, working with technical experts from industry and academia to analyse and optimise complex AI and HPC algorithms on modern CPU and GPU architectures. The intern also publishes optimisation techniques via developer blogs or conferences and helps influence next-generation hardware, software and programming models.

Dynex Semiconductor · Lincoln

Support the design, simulation and testing of high-power semiconductor assemblies, controlled rectifiers and power conversion equipment, working alongside experienced engineers from concept through customer acceptance. Uses tools such as PLECS, LTspice and MATLAB/Simulink for converter analysis, thermal calculations and validation against customer requirements.
