Platform Recruitment · Bristol · £50,000 pa

Develop embedded software and software-defined radio systems for advanced R&D programmes in communications and signal processing. Work across the full development lifecycle from prototyping to testing, using C/C++, Python, and DSP techniques. Collaborate with clients to deliver tailored technical solutions in a high-tech engineering environment.

Redline Group · Luton · £50,000 – £65,000 pa

Designs electronic products for major OEMs across sectors including automotive, defence, medical and space, working largely from home. The role centres on mixed analogue and digital design with microcontrollers, schematic capture (ideally Altium) and communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, RS485 and USB, with FPGA/VHDL experience a plus. You will design for manufacture, work to deadlines and communicate directly with customers.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Design GaN power ICs and Si gate drivers using EDA tools, covering schematic capture, RTL, analog/digital and mixed-signal simulation, synthesis, STA, PNR and AMS verification. Also develops test solutions, analyses wafer-level and packaged device data, documents designs, debugs ICs and generates IP for patent applications within a growing R&D engineering team.

Kingston Barnes Ltd · Pilning · £32,000 – £36,000 pa

Assemble and wire high-tech semiconductor production systems, including soldering, crimping and looming, while reading electrical drawings and fault-finding to implement corrective action. Joins a production team building complex system configurations for micro and nanostructure tooling. Requires a time-served electrical apprenticeship or Level 3 qualification.

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.

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.

Lumai · Oxford

Owns signal and power integrity across high-speed boards and packages, running pre-layout channel studies, post-layout SI analysis with IBIS-AMI models, and PDN impedance and DC drop work for high-current ASIC and FPGA rails. Channels span chip, package, interposer, board and optical engine, with heavy bench correlation using VNAs, TDRs and oscilloscopes to feed design rules.

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.
