Semiconductor Jobs

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operates production equipment in a 24/7 cleanroom, preparing, handling and processing substrates to standard operating procedures. Monitors equipment performance, logs process data into a Factory MES and maintains safe working practices. Suits those with lean, high-volume manufacturing experience; semiconductor or optical microscope skills are a plus.

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.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Placement students work alongside engineering teams on real, challenging assignments, contributing to product development across electronics, software and computer science. Interns are paired with experienced mentors and treated as extended interview candidates for future full-time roles, with work spanning IoT, automotive radar, healthcare and 5G systems.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Hands-on technical support role across semiconductor fabrication and testing operations, troubleshooting process issues, investigating deviations and implementing yield and efficiency improvements. Works on a shift-based pattern, collaborating with Process, Production and Development Engineering teams and supporting new process introduction. Distinct for its focus on SPC, wafer testing and out-of-control event response in a high-volume fab.

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.

ReeVR Talent · London · £32,000 – £36,000 pa

Hands-on precision assembly of complex electronic and detector systems, handling delicate high-value components to detailed work instructions. Involves BOMs, travellers, controlled documentation, ESD and contamination control, ERP build recording, kitting with the warehouse, and reporting deviations. Works with specialist electronic, optical and semiconductor technology where accuracy and traceability are critical.

Semtech · Bristol

Owns test strategy and architecture for major semiconductor product lines on the Advantest V93000 platform, writing test plans and coverage objectives rather than executing someone else's. Leads complex test program development, statistical and adaptive test methods, yield and quality improvement, and test technology roadmaps while mentoring engineers. Hybrid role based in Bristol with Monday–Thursday onsite and up to 20% travel.

Semtech · Bristol

Develop, deploy and optimise wafer and package-level test solutions on the Advantest V93000 platform, covering test development, characterisation, qualification support and production ramp-up. Work closely with design, product engineering and offshore OSAT partners across the full product lifecycle, with a focus on high-speed mixed-signal ICs, DFT and yield/test-time improvement.

Beautiful Recruitment · Hereford

Provide equipment engineering leadership in a UK wafer fab, covering advanced fault-finding, preventative maintenance and optimisation of semiconductor process tools handling hazardous chemicals and speciality gases. Mentor technicians and junior engineers, manage vendors and contractors, and drive TPM and 8-step improvement projects while reporting OEE metrics to executives.

Wolviston Management Services · Newton Aycliffe

Generates, verifies and releases MMIC integrated circuit layouts and mask reticle designs, taking them from initial concept through to mask release. Works in a Design Services team, producing mask order documentation and reticle records while liaising with engineers, programme managers, customers and external mask manufacturers.

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. Involves investigating non-conformances, root cause analysis, and working with Production and Engineering to reduce defects in an ISO 9001 environment serving vacuum technology for science and space applications.

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.

Renesas Electronics · Bourne End

Defines and drives product security strategy across Renesas MCU and MPU platforms, working with product divisions, software teams and ecosystem partners from architecture design to deployment. Represents the company in industry standards bodies and leads compliance with frameworks such as CRA, RED, IEC 62443, SESIP, PSA Certified and FIPS 140-3.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Support silicon evaluation and applications engineering, working hands-on with real devices, evaluation boards and lab equipment. The intern collects and analyses measurement data, debugs device and board issues, and develops scripts for automated measurements alongside experienced engineers.

GI Group · Southampton · £18 – £18 ph

Hands-on precision production and testing of small, high-tolerance electro-optic and electronic components in an Aerospace & Defence facility. Work includes micro-assembly with hand tools, microscopes and fixtures, inspection, and following detailed drawings and quality standards, with some roles in cleanroom or controlled-temperature areas.
