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.

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.

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.

Teledyne FLIR · Chelmsford

Hands-on electronics role supporting silicon wafer processing, package and test equipment across three cleanroom areas. You respond rapidly to equipment faults, lead preventive maintenance and installations, manage contractors and risk assessments, and work with gases, chemicals, robotics, vacuum and electronics on a double day shift.

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.

The University of Manchester · Manchester · £21,805 pa

A 3.5-year PhD project exploring topological and meta-structured surfaces for sensing, modulation and related applications, where the candidate runs optical simulations and fabricates devices. The role involves hands-on optical and materials testing, equipment setup, and potential industry collaboration, with scope to propose and drive related projects.

NVIDIA · Zürich, Switzerland

Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate deep learning, machine learning and other AI workloads, working with technical experts from industry and academia to analyse and optimise complex AI and HPC algorithms on modern CPU and GPU architectures. The intern also publishes optimisation techniques via developer blogs or conferences and helps influence next-generation hardware, software and programming models.

Archangel Lightworks · Oxford · £25,000 – £60,000 pa

Develops laser communication terminal optical and photonic subsystems, from requirements definition and trade-off analysis through modelling, breadboard testing, and assembly, integration and test. Works closely with the Product Technical Lead and optical engineering team, managing component suppliers and providing technical leadership of subsystem projects, with system-level testing and field trials.

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.

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.
