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

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

Leads a multidisciplinary team of analog circuit and layout engineers across multiple high-speed IC product lines, owning the full NPI lifecycle from product definition to volume production. Drives tape-out, qualification, post-silicon bring-up and performance optimisation for TIAs and laser driver ICs up to 200G, working with teams in Stansted and Ottawa.

Jonathan Lee Recruitment · Maidenhead

Lead the architecture, design, implementation, integration and verification of FPGA-based firmware for high-assurance defence and cyber systems, using VHDL and structured V-model methodologies. Chair design reviews, translate ambiguous requirements into verifiable specifications, and mentor firmware engineers while working with protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C and TCP/IP. Based onsite in Maidenhead and requires security clearance eligibility.

Semtech · Bristol

Lead a Bristol team of analog IC design engineers, spanning associate to senior level, with direct oversight of performance, development and recruitment. The role is hands-on, guiding complex design work while managing project schedules, budgets and cross-functional priorities for optical communications ICs such as laser drivers, TIAs and transceivers.

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.

NVIDIA · Zürich, Switzerland

Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate deep learning, machine learning and other AI workloads, working with technical experts from industry and academia to analyse and optimise complex AI and HPC algorithms on modern CPU and GPU architectures. The intern also publishes optimisation techniques via developer blogs or conferences and helps influence next-generation hardware, software and programming models.

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.

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.

Holt Executive · Dorset

A senior technical leadership role combining hands-on embedded engineering with strategic direction, establishing processes and growing an embedded capability across microcontrollers, SoCs, FPGAs, and firmware. Responsibilities span architecture, verification strategies, requirements traceability, bids, and mentoring engineers, with close collaboration across hardware, software, and systems teams.
