Gold Group Bedford £54 – £64 ph
Lead the design, development and support of mixed electrical/electronic LRU solutions from concept to completion through a phase-gate process, including analogue, digital, microprocessor and FPGA circuitry, schematic capture and PCB layout. The role provides technical governance to the team, reviews supplier capabilities and produces documentation, working on-site two mandatory days a week.
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.
