Semiconductor Jobs

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.

Analog Devices · Newbury

Contribute to the design, verification, layout and evaluation of analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-precision 16-20 bit, >10MSps SAR A/D converters. Work alongside the High-Speed SAR ADC Group in Newbury, gaining hands-on IC design experience with MATLAB, Verilog and LabVIEW. Internships run 3 to 12 months.

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.

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.

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.

Archangel Lightworks · Oxford · £25,000 – £60,000 pa

Develops laser communication terminal optical and photonic subsystems, from requirements definition and trade-off analysis through modelling, breadboard testing, and assembly, integration and test. Works closely with the Product Technical Lead and optical engineering team, managing component suppliers and providing technical leadership of subsystem projects, with system-level testing and field trials.

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.

Vacgen · East Sussex

Hands-on inspection of precision-engineered components and assemblies against drawings and specifications, using Faro Arm/CMM metrology equipment and specialised test gear. Involves investigating non-conformances, root cause analysis, and working with Production and Engineering to reduce defects in an ISO 9001 environment serving vacuum technology for science and space applications.
