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

Contribute to pre-silicon verification of analog and mixed-signal products, covering top-level DMS SV/UVM, gate-level simulation, and metric-driven AMS simulations. Bridge verification and validation environments to support post-silicon validation while establishing and improving verification flows and models for a global multi-disciplinary team.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Owns verification of complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs, building SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and running block-level to full-chip simulation, coverage and regression. Includes gate-level simulation with SDF timing annotation and mentoring junior engineers. Hybrid role with three set office days in Edinburgh.

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.

Semtech · Sevenoaks

Leads the design and development of high-speed analog ICs from concept through to volume production, acting as technical authority on circuit architecture and chip subsystems. Works across Stansted and Ottawa design centres on transimpedance amplifiers and laser drivers for datacentres, 5G and fibre-to-the-home, mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Bluegate Consulting · Oldham · £40,000 – £45,000 pa

Owns reliability testing, failure analysis and lifetime modelling for semiconductor devices, developing and executing test plans and driving root-cause solutions for failure mechanisms. Works across design, test and manufacturing teams to improve product robustness, with programming used to write reliability test programs and handle customer returns.

Wolviston Management Services · Darlington

Characterise and model compound semiconductor devices, developing compact models for GaN and GaAs technologies and running DC, pulsed I-V, noise and small/large-signal RF testing. You will build and validate MMIC Process Design Kits, support customer design queries and work with design engineers on new process development. Requires UK nationality and security clearance.

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.

Graphcore · Bristol · £45,000 pa

Two-year graduate programme supporting silicon packaging and PCB assembly production in Taiwan, analysing performance data and using test design to investigate hardware and software issues. You'll contribute to quality planning, audits, process control, component selection and bill of materials management, working with Product Test, Quality and Supply Chain teams across the UK, Taiwan and India.

Graphcore · Bristol · £2,500 pm

A 12-week summer internship in the Manufacturing Operations team, supporting silicon packaging or PCB assembly production in Taiwan. Tasks may include analysing performance data, investigating hardware or software issues, and supporting quality planning, process checks and BOM reviews, working alongside Product Test, Quality and Supply Chain colleagues across the UK, Taiwan and India.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Cambridge

Technical leadership role owning product-level characterisation strategy, translating requirements and risks into proportionate test coverage, analysis and reporting. Leads a small team developing automated volume test solutions while hands-on with wafer-level ATE characterisation, RF/analogue test design and large-dataset analysis, presenting findings to stakeholders from project inception through production transfer.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Lead the development, qualification and transfer of back-end semiconductor assembly processes into high-volume manufacturing, with particular focus on laser processing, die singulation, wafer-on-frame debonding and advanced packaging. Design and execute DOEs, set process windows and control plans, and mentor engineers while supporting new product introductions and customer-driven transfers.

Reed · Blackwood · £45,000 – £60,000 pa

Multi-disciplined field engineer supporting semiconductor wafer-handling and automation systems, covering build, integration, commissioning, fault-finding, calibration and retrofits. Leads installations and technical issue resolution at customer sites worldwide, feeding field experience back into product and design improvements. Involves up to 30% international travel, mostly week-long visits, with occasional short-notice trips.

Reed · Newport · £45,000 – £60,000 pa

Multi-disciplined field engineer supporting semiconductor automation and wafer-handling systems, covering build, integration, commissioning, fault-finding, calibration and retrofits.
