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.

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.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Senior leadership role owning the packaging function for GaN power semiconductors, combining people leadership with hands-on design of wirebond, flip chip and embedded packages. Involves multiphysics simulation, supplier development, qualification testing and roadmap input, working with internal teams and overseas partners from the Cambridge office.

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.

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.

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.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operate die prep tools and equipment, perform wafer inspection under a microscope, handle wafers and carry out manual tag assembly on a continental shift pattern. Work to SOPs, run process checks and keep activity logs in a lab environment, with full training provided and no formal qualifications required.

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.

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.
