Design and execute DOEs, set process windows and control plans, and mentor engineers while supporting new product introductions and customer-driven transfers.

IonQ · Oxford

Lead validation and characterisation of analogue and mixed-signal ASICs for trapped-ion quantum processors, from test planning and platform development through first-silicon bring-up, debug and system integration. The role spans room-temperature and cryogenic (around 4 K) measurements on packaged parts, chip-on-board assemblies and bare die, with heavy Python automation and test PCB work.

Forefront RF · Cambridge

Hands-on role driving semiconductor assembly and packaging for RF products, working with OSATs and manufacturing partners on process development. Supports new product introduction, yield improvement, root-cause analysis, reliability testing and qualification, and maintains assembly documentation and process flows. Newly created position shaping the transition from prototype to volume production.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Lead technical efforts to sustain and improve high-volume back-end assembly processes, from wafer release on glass to outgoing quality inspection. Drive yield, quality and equipment effectiveness through root cause investigations, SPC and DOEs, supporting product transfers and the ramp to volume manufacturing alongside cross-functional teams.

Teledyne FLIR · Wilsonville, United States

Strategic HR Business Partner supporting the largest division within the Defense business, acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across a global organization. The role covers organizational design, talent and succession planning, workforce analytics, employee relations and change management, with roughly 25-30% domestic and occasional international travel.

Teledyne FLIR · Lincoln

Drive value stream and production method improvements to boost throughput and manufacturing capacity, support product ramp-ups and New Product Introduction, and improve manufacturing and test processes to raise yield and cut costs. Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions, and identify automation and tooling opportunities for future growth.

Semtech · Sevenoaks

Leads a multidisciplinary team of analog circuit and layout engineers across multiple high-speed IC product lines, owning the full NPI lifecycle from product definition to volume production. Drives tape-out, qualification, post-silicon bring-up and performance optimisation for TIAs and laser driver ICs up to 200G, working with teams in Stansted and Ottawa.
