Semiconductor Jobs

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Work alongside experienced engineers on the design, simulation, and characterization of high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs, including amplifiers, filters, data converters, and clocking solutions. Gain hands-on experience with Cadence and SPICE across circuit design, layout, silicon validation, and laboratory testing throughout the full IC development lifecycle.

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.

Anonymous · London

Own the full electronics development lifecycle for photonic computing hardware, from analogue and mixed-signal circuit design through schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping and lab verification. Work alongside physicists, optical and embedded software engineers in a collaborative R&D team, testing with oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers and supporting integration and EMC.

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.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Cambridge

Executes verification strategies for mixed-signal IP and FlexICs to ensure right-first-time tapeouts, working closely with digital and analog designers. Builds test bench environments, debugs failures, and produces verification reports and coverage statistics across the design flow. Requires strong SystemVerilog and verification methodology knowledge, with UVM highly desirable.

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.

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.

Forefront RF · Cambridge

Designs and develops RF front-end circuits and functional blocks, integrating them into low-loss, high-performance multi-chip modules. Works closely with IC designers, systems, algorithm and software teams to optimise module performance and define test plans in a fast-moving fabless semiconductor start-up.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Integrates individual semiconductor processes into stable, repeatable manufacturing flows that support high yield and product quality. Works 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.

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.

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.

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.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Support silicon evaluation and applications engineering, working hands-on with real devices, evaluation boards and lab equipment. The intern collects and analyses measurement data, debugs device and board issues, and develops scripts for automated measurements alongside experienced engineers.
