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.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operates production equipment in a 24/7 cleanroom, preparing, handling and processing substrates to standard operating procedures. Monitors equipment performance, logs process data into a Factory MES and maintains safe working practices. Suits those with lean, high-volume manufacturing experience; semiconductor or optical microscope skills are a plus.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Integrate individual semiconductor processes into stable, repeatable manufacturing flows that support high yield and product quality. Work with Process, Device, Design, Quality and Production teams across the product lifecycle, from development and qualification to production ramp-up, using SPC, DOE and FMEA in a cleanroom environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zachary Daniels · Glasgow
