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.
Line Up Aviation Stevenage £90 ph
Design and verify complex FPGA architectures for signal processing, embedded and safety-critical systems, targeting Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi devices. Work spans VHDL and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, Mentor toolsets, and low-level C for test and integration within a multidiscipline team.
SoCode Cambridge £50 – £65 ph
Embedded within an established electronics team at a UK medical technology business, supporting design capture and review of complex electronics from requirements and schematic capture through design reviews and PCBA layout to board bring-up and system test. Requires broad electronics design experience with depth in areas such as embedded microprocessors, motor drive circuits, FPGA design or analogue sensor interfaces, using Altium Designer and DFx/EMC principles.
Matchtech Stevenage £85 – £90 ph
Design and verify complex FPGA architectures for defence and security systems, working across the full lifecycle with VHDL, Simulink and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches. Targets Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi devices, using QuestaSim/ModelSim and low-level C for embedded integration within a multidisciplinary team.
Morson Edge Basildon £55 – £74 ph
Design, develop and verify FPGA-based firmware in VHDL for advanced sensing and embedded systems, spanning the full product lifecycle from concept to early production. Work within a multidisciplinary team on high-speed FPGA and SoC development, producing documentation, test and integration plans, and supporting hardware/software system integration.
Morson Edge Luton £62 – £85 ph
Design, develop and verify FPGA firmware for complex, safety-critical digital systems, deriving requirements and architectures from system-level specs. Build RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog, verify with UVM, and work with Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi toolchains plus high-speed interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet and JESD. Sits within a multidisciplinary team, contributing to design reviews, testing and documentation under DO-254-style processes.
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.
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.
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.
