Join one of four specialist silicon teams — logical design, verification, physical design or design for test — contributing to real AI chip development. You'll work on RTL design, SOC integration, verification methods or physical implementation using industry-standard EDA tools, taking ownership of clear tasks with support from experienced engineers over a two-year programme.

EDA Tools

• Bristol
• Senior

Develop manufacturing tests for advanced PCB assemblies, analysing designs for testability and manufacturing risks. Build boundary scan and embedded functional tests, diagnose faults to component level, and deploy and support solutions in factory and field environments alongside design and manufacturing teams.
