Semiconductor Jobs

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Work alongside experienced engineers on the design, simulation, and characterization of high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs, including amplifiers, filters, data converters, and clocking solutions. Gain hands-on experience with Cadence and SPICE across circuit design, layout, silicon validation, and laboratory testing throughout the full IC development lifecycle.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Join a Consumer Audio design team in Edinburgh to work on real mixed-signal IC development, from circuit architecture research and feasibility studies to transistor-level design, simulation and verification of analog blocks. You will build testbenches, analyse trade-offs around noise, distortion and power, and collaborate with layout engineers through physical implementation and design reviews.

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.

Cambridge GaN Devices · Cambridge

Design and layout of GaN power ICs using EDA tools, covering schematic capture, analog simulation, chip layout review, PEX and PLS. The role also involves wafer-level and packaged device testing, SPICE model development, and supporting patent and IP management within a growing R&D engineering team.

Renesas Electronics · Edinburgh

Owns the full analog and mixed-signal development cycle for IC products, from specification and system architecture through IP requirements, verification planning and layout. Works with product definition, marketing, project management and cross-functional test, product engineering and quality teams, and mentors team members. Requires precision analog, power management and high-voltage BCD design expertise.

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.

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.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Cambridge

Executes verification strategies for mixed-signal IP and FlexICs to ensure right-first-time tapeouts, working closely with digital and analog designers. Builds test bench environments, debugs failures, and produces verification reports and coverage statistics across the design flow. Requires strong SystemVerilog and verification methodology knowledge, with UVM highly desirable.

IonQ · Oxford

Owns full-chip mixed-signal modelling and verification for cryo-CMOS ASICs used in trapped-ion quantum processors, building Verilog-A/AMS and real-number models correlated against schematic and measured silicon. Leads AMS methodology, sign-off criteria and reviews, runs Cadence AMS/Xcelium-Spectre co-simulation regressions, and mentors engineers through tape-out and bring-up.

Reperio Human Capital · Cork, Ireland · £86,324 – £103,589 pa

Own verification of mixed-signal ICs from test planning through final sign-off, building and maintaining UVM testbenches, coverage models and regression suites. Work closely with analog and digital design teams to catch issues early, track coverage closure, and help shape the team's verification approach while supporting other engineers.

Zachary Daniels · Glasgow

Designs and develops compact, low-power wearable medical devices from concept to production, covering system architecture, schematic and multi-layer PCB design, and analog, mixed-signal, RF and embedded circuits. Works on precision sensor and optical signal-conditioning, ultra-low-power battery systems, and wireless interfaces including BLE, LTE-M and GNSS. Offers a route to leading a hardware team as the company grows.
