Semiconductor Jobs

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.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Placement students work alongside engineering teams on real, challenging assignments, contributing to product development across electronics, software and computer science. Interns are paired with experienced mentors and treated as extended interview candidates for future full-time roles, with work spanning IoT, automotive radar, healthcare and 5G systems.

Renesas Electronics · Cambridge

Designs, builds and maintains a federated platform API, gateway service, SDKs, MCP servers and API clients, working across C#, Python and Golang. The role also covers an applications framework, BI analytics reporting and a new developer centre, with heavy cross-team collaboration and direct customer adoption support.

Lumai · Oxford

Owns embedded software for a novel optical AI accelerator, writing Linux kernel and bare-metal device drivers, firmware for control processors, and deterministic RTOS control tasks. Leads board support package bring-up on new custom silicon revisions, debugging with JTAG, scopes and logic analysers, and sets the embedded team's coding standards and test methodology.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Lead the design and verification of CMOS analog blocks for custom mixed-signal ASICs, taking technical ownership of full-chip or major system-level blocks from specification through to production ramp. The role combines hands-on circuit design with mentoring a team of engineers, working alongside digital, layout, DFT and test teams, and driving silicon debug and characterisation.

Lumai · Oxford

Own a Python-based performance and power modelling framework predicting how photonic AI hardware runs real inference workloads, giving architecture and compiler teams a shared source of truth for latency, throughput and power. Model compute engines, interconnect, memory and bridge interfaces, validate against RTL or emulation, and run benchmarks such as UL Procyon, Geekbench AI and LLMs.

IonQ · Oxford

Owns full-chip mixed-signal modelling and verification for cryo-CMOS ASICs used in trapped-ion quantum processors, building Verilog-A/AMS and real-number models correlated against schematic and measured silicon. Leads AMS methodology, sign-off criteria and reviews, runs Cadence AMS/Xcelium-Spectre co-simulation regressions, and mentors engineers through tape-out and bring-up.

Amazon · Cambridge

Architect and implement SoC designs for Blink/Ring smart home cameras and doorbells, owning the flow from RTL delivery through synthesis, power analysis and timing closure. The role also involves defining microarchitecture specs, mentoring junior engineers, and evaluating emerging IP blocks in a vertically integrated environment spanning architectural modelling to post-silicon validation.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Owns the planning and delivery of internal product and technology development projects plus public-funded R&D projects, supporting them from concept and requirements through to completion. Coordinates cross-functional teams, runs project reviews and status meetings, maintains documentation, handles financial reporting and budget tracking, and helps coordinate bid-writing for public-funded work. Reports directly to the VP of R&D and helps shape the project management function as the company grows.

Broadcom · United Kingdom-Remote Location

Delivers technical consulting on IBM Mainframe AIOps and automation, covering WLM, System Automation, Omegamon, CA-Sysview, CA OPS/MVS and Netmaster. Works with sales teams on qualification, complex demos, proofs of concept and solution architecture, acting as a subject matter expert for customers and partners. Requires deep mainframe experience, European language skills and around 50% travel.

Vacgen · East Sussex

Hands-on inspection of precision-engineered components and assemblies against drawings and specifications, using Faro Arm/CMM metrology equipment and specialised test gear. Involves investigating non-conformances, root cause analysis, and working with Production and Engineering to reduce defects in an ISO 9001 environment serving vacuum technology for science and space applications.

University of Surrey · Guildford · £38,448 – £46,970 pa

Develops and validates predictive models of source-gated and multimodal transistors on an EPSRC project, using TCAD, compact modelling, surrogate modelling or physics-informed machine learning. Works closely with experimental researchers to fit models against measured data and inform device and circuit design, producing publications and reusable simulation frameworks.

Baltic Recruitment · Wallsend · £51,000 – £53,000 pa

Lead the maintenance function at a specialist manufacturer of high-purity fused quartz and silica components, owning the PPM programme and reactive maintenance across production equipment, plant and utilities. Manage and develop a maintenance team and contractors, using MaintainX to track work orders, asset histories and reliability metrics. Drive continuous improvement through root cause analysis, Lean/TPM and budget control, with out-of-hours on-call support for critical failures.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Senior leadership role owning the packaging function for GaN power semiconductors, combining people leadership with hands-on design of wirebond, flip chip and embedded packages. Involves multiphysics simulation, supplier development, qualification testing and roadmap input, working with internal teams and overseas partners from the Cambridge office.

Morson Edge · Edinburgh · £51 – £70 ph

Develops firmware and FPGA designs for next-generation surveillance radar systems, covering requirement capture, architecture definition, design verification and integration with hardware and software. Works closely with mixed-discipline teams, mentors junior engineers and helps shape firmware processes across UK-wide delivery teams. Based on-site in Edinburgh with some travel flexibility.
