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.

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.

Cadence · Newcastle upon Tyne

Develops and maintains a C++ codebase for next-generation EDA tools, focusing on computational geometry, geometry manipulation and algorithmic complexity for sub-20nm IC design. Involves writing design, function and test specifications, interfacing with build and regression systems, and collaborating with a global cross-functional team.

VRS Recruitment · High Wycombe · £60,000 – £80,000 pa

Designs complex analogue and digital circuits for low-noise instrumentation, covering the full product lifecycle from concept to production. Works with scientists and multidisciplinary teams on verification, FMEA, PCBA testing and manufacturability, using tools such as OrCAD or Altium.

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.

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.

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.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

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.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Owns architecture definition, modeling and technical leadership for PMIC and advanced DC/DC converter products from concept through silicon validation. Uses tools such as Simplis and Simulink to analyze stability, transient response and fault behavior, and works across analog, digital, verification and test teams to align architecture intent with implementation.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Hands-on principal-level role owning the design and development of signal processing and machine learning algorithms for power system monitoring, asset health and grid analytics. Work spans the full pipeline from modelling and simulation to deployment across edge-to-cloud and embedded platforms, collaborating with hardware, firmware and data teams and engaging utilities and grid equipment OEMs. Includes mentoring engineers with a pathway to broader technical leadership.

Analog Devices · Newbury

Contribute to the design, verification, layout and evaluation of analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-precision 16-20 bit, >10MSps SAR A/D converters. Work alongside the High-Speed SAR ADC Group in Newbury, gaining hands-on IC design experience with MATLAB, Verilog and LabVIEW. Internships run 3 to 12 months.
