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.
Line Up Aviation Stevenage £90 ph
Design and verify complex FPGA architectures for signal processing, embedded and safety-critical systems, targeting Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi devices. Work spans VHDL and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, Mentor toolsets, and low-level C for test and integration within a multidiscipline team.
SoCode Cambridge £50 – £65 ph
Embedded within an established electronics team at a UK medical technology business, supporting design capture and review of complex electronics from requirements and schematic capture through design reviews and PCBA layout to board bring-up and system test. Requires broad electronics design experience with depth in areas such as embedded microprocessors, motor drive circuits, FPGA design or analogue sensor interfaces, using Altium Designer and DFx/EMC principles.
Matchtech Stevenage £85 – £90 ph
Design and verify complex FPGA architectures for defence and security systems, working across the full lifecycle with VHDL, Simulink and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches. Targets Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi devices, using QuestaSim/ModelSim and low-level C for embedded integration within a multidisciplinary team.
Pertemps Bristol Industrial Gloucester £32 ph
Assemble mechanical components and sub-assemblies for vacuum systems used in semiconductor manufacturing. Work involves reading engineering drawings, using hand tools, and installing pipework and insulation. Multiple shift patterns available, including a high-paying short-term contract.
Morson Edge Basildon £55 – £74 ph
Design, develop and verify FPGA-based firmware in VHDL for advanced sensing and embedded systems, spanning the full product lifecycle from concept to early production. Work within a multidisciplinary team on high-speed FPGA and SoC development, producing documentation, test and integration plans, and supporting hardware/software system integration.
Morson Edge Luton £62 – £85 ph
Design, develop and verify FPGA firmware for complex, safety-critical digital systems, deriving requirements and architectures from system-level specs. Build RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog, verify with UVM, and work with Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi toolchains plus high-speed interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet and JESD. Sits within a multidisciplinary team, contributing to design reviews, testing and documentation under DO-254-style processes.
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.
University of Warwick Coventry £21,805 pa
Develops medium-voltage solid-state transformer cells for hyperscale AI data centres and net-zero grids, tackling high-frequency power conversion, compact magnetic links and electrical-thermal degradation under high-dv/dt stress. Combines multi-physics finite-element modelling in ANSYS/COMSOL with experimental validation in a high-voltage power electronics lab, culminating in a scaled hardware prototype.
Search Consultancy Greenock £13 – £17 ph
Working within a clean room environment, you will support the semiconductor manufacturing process by following set procedures and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and accuracy in line with health and safety guidelines. Full training is provided, so no prior manufacturing experience is needed, and you will work rotational 12-hour day and night shifts as part of a team.
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.
