Chair design reviews, translate ambiguous requirements into verifiable specifications, and mentor firmware engineers while working with protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C and TCP/IP. Based onsite in Maidenhead and requires security clearance eligibility.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Hands-on principal-level role owning the design and development of signal processing and machine learning algorithms for power system monitoring, asset health and grid analytics. Work spans the full pipeline from modelling and simulation to deployment across edge-to-cloud and embedded platforms, collaborating with hardware, firmware and data teams and engaging utilities and grid equipment OEMs. Includes mentoring engineers with a pathway to broader technical leadership.

Semtech · Bristol

Lead a Bristol team of analog IC design engineers, spanning associate to senior level, with direct oversight of performance, development and recruitment. The role is hands-on, guiding complex design work while managing project schedules, budgets and cross-functional priorities for optical communications ICs such as laser drivers, TIAs and transceivers.

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.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Lead verification of complex mixed-signal ICs across the full development cycle, from concept and verification planning through implementation, execution and release. Develop UVM and formal testbench architectures, define coverage and closure metrics, debug gate-level simulations, and mentor junior engineers while leading IP or SoC verification efforts.

Cadence · Newcastle upon Tyne

Develops and maintains a C++ codebase for next-generation EDA tools, focusing on computational geometry, geometry manipulation and algorithmic complexity for sub-20nm IC design. Involves writing design, function and test specifications, interfacing with build and regression systems, and collaborating with a global cross-functional team.

Holt Executive · Dorset

A senior technical leadership role combining hands-on embedded engineering with strategic direction, establishing processes and growing an embedded capability across microcontrollers, SoCs, FPGAs, and firmware. Responsibilities span architecture, verification strategies, requirements traceability, bids, and mentoring engineers, with close collaboration across hardware, software, and systems teams.

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.
