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.

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.

Semtech · Sevenoaks

Leads the design and development of high-speed analog ICs from concept through to volume production, acting as technical authority on circuit architecture and chip subsystems. Works across Stansted and Ottawa design centres on transimpedance amplifiers and laser drivers for datacentres, 5G and fibre-to-the-home, mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

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.

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 · Stockton-on-Tees

Lead the technical development of FlexIC wafer-level packaging, chip-scale packaging, die attachment and system-in-package integration, setting technical direction and selecting materials, processes and partners. Drive the internal roadmap with Product Management, Engineering and Operations, validating scalable processes and transferring them to production teams. A newly created principal-level role spanning R&D, reliability qualification and external development partners.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Generates, verifies and releases MMIC integrated circuit layouts and mask reticle designs within a Design Services team, taking designs from concept through to mask release. Liaises with customers, engineers, programme managers and external mask manufacturers, and maintains reticle records and design archives. Uses CAD layout tools such as KLayout, L-Edit or Nazca Design.

ARCA · Nailsea

Designs and develops electrical modules and sub-assemblies for specialist environmental technology systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, taking products from initial design through verification and documentation. Works within a multidisciplinary team, selecting components, running calculations and tests, and producing models, drawings and bills of materials to machinery safety and industry standards.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Generates, verifies and releases MMIC integrated circuit layouts and mask reticle designs, taking them from initial concept through to mask release. Works in a Design Services team, producing mask order documentation and reticle records while liaising with engineers, programme managers, customers and external mask manufacturers.

Vacgen · East Sussex

Bridges design and manufacture, supporting New Product Introduction and developing manufacturing routes, BOMs and ERP data. Designs vacuum chambers, fixtures and tooling in 3D CAD, produces drawings and documentation, and drives continuous improvement using 8D, DFMEA, PFMEA and PPAP. Works hands-on with shop floor, customers and suppliers on ultra-high vacuum technology.

Renesas Electronics · Bourne End

Defines and drives product security strategy across Renesas MCU and MPU platforms, working with product divisions, software teams and ecosystem partners from architecture design to deployment. Represents the company in industry standards bodies and leads compliance with frameworks such as CRA, RED, IEC 62443, SESIP, PSA Certified and FIPS 140-3.

University of Surrey · Guildford · £38,448 – £46,970 pa

Develops and validates predictive models of source-gated and multimodal transistors on an EPSRC project, using TCAD, compact modelling, surrogate modelling or physics-informed machine learning. Works closely with experimental researchers to fit models against measured data and inform device and circuit design, producing publications and reusable simulation frameworks.

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.

Reperio Human Capital · Cork, Ireland · £103,589 – £129,486 pa

Lead and grow a verification team while remaining hands-on with mixed-signal power ICs. You define verification strategy, methodology and sign-off criteria, architect UVM/SystemVerilog environments at block, subsystem and SoC level, and own verification plans, regressions and coverage closure. Works closely with design, firmware, applications and test teams, with three days a week on site in Cork.

Forefront RF · Cambridge

Owns and develops the Quality Management System to ISO 9001 standards, establishing scalable quality and reliability processes for new product introduction, qualification and manufacturing ramp. Leads reliability testing, failure analysis and root cause investigations while managing quality relationships with foundries, OSATs and test providers, and supports customer qualification requirements.
