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.

Reperio Human Capital · Cork, Ireland · £103,589 – £129,486 pa

Lead and grow a verification team while remaining hands-on with mixed-signal power ICs. You define verification strategy, methodology and sign-off criteria, architect UVM/SystemVerilog environments at block, subsystem and SoC level, and own verification plans, regressions and coverage closure. Works closely with design, firmware, applications and test teams, with three days a week on site in Cork.

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.

BMR Solutions · Clevedon · £63,000 pa

Lead, mentor and grow a team of Electrical Engineers, driving electrical system and subsystem design from concept through to customer commissioning and field trials. Ensure compliance with safety and EMC standards, manage technical risks and validation, and promote standardisation and modularity. Works on semiconductor equipment within a hybrid Bristol-based engineering business.

Gold Group · Bedford · £54 – £64 ph

Lead the design, development and support of mixed electrical/electronic LRU solutions from concept to completion through a phase-gate process, including analogue, digital, microprocessor and FPGA circuitry, schematic capture and PCB layout. The role provides technical governance to the team, reviews supplier capabilities and produces documentation, working on-site two mandatory days a week.

Lumai · Oxford

Builds firmware, peripheral drivers and RTOS-based control software for an optical AI accelerator, covering RTOS tasks and IPC, board support package bring-up, boot loaders and first-boot debugging on custom hardware. Works closely with a senior embedded engineer and hardware teams, writing unit and integration tests and maintaining embedded CI pipelines.

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.

KBM Resourcing · Germany

Design and verify FPGA solutions using VHDL/Verilog for high-integrity aerospace and defence systems. Work within a multidisciplinary team to implement real-time, embedded FPGA functionality, ensuring robust integration and traceability across the development lifecycle.

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.

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.
