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.
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.
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.
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.
NVIDIA Bristol
Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate leading high performance computing applications across scientific computing, computational engineering and data science. The intern performs in-depth analysis and optimisation for current and next-generation GPU architectures, working directly with application developers and collaborating with architecture, research, libraries, tools and system software teams.
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.
Analog Devices Newbury
Join the CSS design verification team to validate IP and subsystem-level designs for high-performance semiconductor products. You will develop System Verilog/UVM testbenches, run simulations, debug failures, and track functional and assertion coverage alongside design and architecture engineers.
Analog Devices Edinburgh
Hands-on internship in a design verification team, validating IP and subsystem-level designs for high-performance semiconductor products. You will develop System Verilog/UVM testbenches, run simulations, debug failures, create directed and constrained-random tests, and track functional, code and assertion coverage while supporting regression automation with scripting.
NVIDIA Zürich, Switzerland
Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate leading high performance computing applications across scientific computing, computational engineering and data science. The intern performs in-depth performance analysis and optimisation for current and next-generation GPU architectures, working with application developers and collaborating with architecture, research, libraries and tools teams.
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.
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.
