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 Consumer Audio design team in Edinburgh to work on real mixed-signal IC development, from circuit architecture research and feasibility studies to transistor-level design, simulation and verification of analog blocks. You will build testbenches, analyse trade-offs around noise, distortion and power, and collaborate with layout engineers through physical implementation and design reviews.

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.

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.

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.

Bluegate Consulting · Oldham

Assist with semiconductor manufacturing in a growing Oldham facility, controlling process performance, maintaining efficient workflow and implementing improvements. Requires hands-on front-end process knowledge, SPC and a degree in electronics, aimed at someone early in their career.

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.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Support silicon evaluation and applications engineering, working hands-on with real devices, evaluation boards and lab equipment. The intern collects and analyses measurement data, debugs device and board issues, and develops scripts for automated measurements alongside experienced engineers.

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

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.

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.

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.

Pertemps Bristol Industrial · Gloucester · £32 ph

Assemble mechanical components and sub-assemblies for vacuum systems used in semiconductor manufacturing. Work involves reading engineering drawings, using hand tools, and installing pipework and insulation. Multiple shift patterns available, including a high-paying short-term contract.

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.
