Semiconductor Jobs

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Define and architect test hardware for GaN power devices and ICs, covering fixtures, sockets, probing, switching and multi-site parallel setups for static, dynamic and mixed-signal measurements. Lead test hardware workstreams from concept to release, write specifications, review designs, and mentor engineers while shaping the test equipment roadmap.

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 · Edinburgh

Design and verify CMOS analog blocks such as amplifiers, oscillators, LDOs, comparators and reference/biasing circuits for custom ASICs, balancing performance, area, power and timescale. The role carries technical leadership of sub-systems from specification through to production ramp, guiding layout, DFT and test engineers, driving silicon debug and lab evaluation, and mentoring less experienced team members.

NVIDIA · Bristol

Lead security research, architecture and implementation for next-generation networking products, taking a hands-on role defining hardware and software security solutions. Work across teams and with external partners on IO interfaces, boot architecture, RISC-V, root-of-trust and secure platforms, guiding open-source implementation and customer threat resolution.

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.

NVIDIA · Belfast

Lead security research, architecture and implementation for next-generation networking products, taking a hands-on role defining hardware and software security solutions. Work across internal teams and external partners on IO interfaces, boot architecture, RISC-V and root-of-trust, with architectural modelling and validation. Requires deep embedded and low-level firmware expertise.

Lumai · Oxford

Owns embedded software for a novel optical AI accelerator, writing Linux kernel and bare-metal device drivers, firmware for control processors, and deterministic RTOS control tasks. Leads board support package bring-up on new custom silicon revisions, debugging with JTAG, scopes and logic analysers, and sets the embedded team's coding standards and test methodology.

Enterprise Recruitment · Towcester · £60,000 – £65,000 pa

This role involves hands-on engineering support for production operations, maintaining and improving epitaxy equipment, and driving continuous improvement initiatives. You will coordinate maintenance, support equipment upgrades, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high equipment uptime and compliance with safety standards.

Redline Group · Glasgow · £80,000 – £110,000 pa

Lead a multi-disciplinary team of up to 100 people, driving pure NPI development for next-generation semiconductor products. Responsibilities include creating project proposals, presenting to customers, providing technical leadership across hardware, software and mechanical teams, and managing project schedules, budgets and resource allocation. Works closely with the General Manager on complex, electronically biased product development.

Amazon · Cambridge

Architect and implement SoC designs for Blink/Ring smart home cameras and doorbells, owning the flow from RTL delivery through synthesis, power analysis and timing closure. The role also involves defining microarchitecture specs, mentoring junior engineers, and evaluating emerging IP blocks in a vertically integrated environment spanning architectural modelling to post-silicon validation.

NSR Associates · Denmark · £79,200 – £87,500 pa

Commercial management of a major megawatt data centre for a Tier 1 main contractor, working with the Project Director, Commercial Director, construction teams, consultants and supply chain. Covers change management, cost control, forecasting, procurement and commercial reporting across the project lifecycle, with progression potential into senior commercial leadership.

Avanti Recruitment · ELY · £50,000 – £65,000 pa

Hands-on ownership of FPGA architecture for advanced sensing and Edge-AI products, spanning high-speed data acquisition, SoC-FPGA integration, real-time DSP and future CNN acceleration. Day-to-day work covers VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL, ADC and LVDS acquisition, DMA, AXI and PS/PL integration, DDR streaming pipelines, timing closure and CDC, plus hardware bring-up and Embedded Linux/PetaLinux integration.

eFinancialCareers · London

Designs and operates ultra-low-latency trading systems at global scale, working across the latency-critical stack from kernel-level tuning and network optimisation to highly efficient C++ components. Collaborates closely with FPGA, hardware and infrastructure engineers on end-to-end architectures where every nanosecond counts.
