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

Placement students work alongside engineering teams on real, challenging assignments, contributing to product development across electronics, software and computer science. Interns are paired with experienced mentors and treated as extended interview candidates for future full-time roles, with work spanning IoT, automotive radar, healthcare and 5G systems.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Lead the design and verification of CMOS analog blocks for custom mixed-signal ASICs, taking technical ownership of full-chip or major system-level blocks from specification through to production ramp. The role combines hands-on circuit design with mentoring a team of engineers, working alongside digital, layout, DFT and test teams, and driving silicon debug and characterisation.

Renesas Electronics · Swindon

Provides technical leadership for a global EDA/CAD compute and engineering infrastructure, spanning Linux environments, LSF batch compute, EDA license servers, Perforce and project/workspace provisioning. Combines hands-on Python and shell automation with architecture, monitoring and capacity planning, working across engineering, CAD and IT/IS teams to keep semiconductor development environments consistent and reliable worldwide.

Lumai · Oxford

Own a Python-based performance and power modelling framework predicting how photonic AI hardware runs real inference workloads, giving architecture and compiler teams a shared source of truth for latency, throughput and power. Model compute engines, interconnect, memory and bridge interfaces, validate against RTL or emulation, and run benchmarks such as UL Procyon, Geekbench AI and LLMs.

IonQ · Oxford

Owns full-chip mixed-signal modelling and verification for cryo-CMOS ASICs used in trapped-ion quantum processors, building Verilog-A/AMS and real-number models correlated against schematic and measured silicon. Leads AMS methodology, sign-off criteria and reviews, runs Cadence AMS/Xcelium-Spectre co-simulation regressions, and mentors engineers through tape-out and bring-up.

Amazon · Cambridge

Architect and implement SoC designs for Blink/Ring smart home cameras and doorbells, owning the flow from RTL delivery through synthesis, power analysis and timing closure. The role also involves defining microarchitecture specs, mentoring junior engineers, and evaluating emerging IP blocks in a vertically integrated environment spanning architectural modelling to post-silicon validation.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Owns the planning and delivery of internal product and technology development projects plus public-funded R&D projects, supporting them from concept and requirements through to completion. Coordinates cross-functional teams, runs project reviews and status meetings, maintains documentation, handles financial reporting and budget tracking, and helps coordinate bid-writing for public-funded work. Reports directly to the VP of R&D and helps shape the project management function as the company grows.

Broadcom · United Kingdom-Remote Location

Delivers technical consulting on IBM Mainframe AIOps and automation, covering WLM, System Automation, Omegamon, CA-Sysview, CA OPS/MVS and Netmaster. Works with sales teams on qualification, complex demos, proofs of concept and solution architecture, acting as a subject matter expert for customers and partners. Requires deep mainframe experience, European language skills and around 50% travel.

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.

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.

Baltic Recruitment · Wallsend · £51,000 – £53,000 pa

Lead the maintenance function at a specialist manufacturer of high-purity fused quartz and silica components, owning the PPM programme and reactive maintenance across production equipment, plant and utilities. Manage and develop a maintenance team and contractors, using MaintainX to track work orders, asset histories and reliability metrics. Drive continuous improvement through root cause analysis, Lean/TPM and budget control, with out-of-hours on-call support for critical failures.

Morson Edge · Edinburgh · £51 – £70 ph

Develops firmware and FPGA designs for next-generation surveillance radar systems, covering requirement capture, architecture definition, design verification and integration with hardware and software. Works closely with mixed-discipline teams, mentors junior engineers and helps shape firmware processes across UK-wide delivery teams. Based on-site in Edinburgh with some travel flexibility.

Platform Recruitment · Coventry · £40,000 – £60,000 pa

Work across the full FPGA design cycle, from requirements analysis and specification through RTL design, implementation and verification. Define module architectures, run synthesis and timing analysis, and integrate FPGAs into target hardware, using VHDL or Verilog and leading vendor tools alongside senior engineers and system architects.

VRS Recruitment · High Wycombe · £60,000 – £80,000 pa

Designs complex analogue and digital circuits for low-noise instrumentation, covering the full product lifecycle from concept to production. Works with scientists and multidisciplinary teams on verification, FMEA, PCBA testing and manufacturability, using tools such as OrCAD or Altium.
