Process Engineer

We have a new opening for a Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join a leading manufacturer of precision electronics instrumentation.

The ideal candidate will possess a diverse skill set across both analog and digital, covering hardware and firmware design aspects for embedded (ARM based) microprocessor systems.

The role will encompass basic design & simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout and prototyping.

You will work on the development of new modules and sub-systems for the industrial, aerospace & defense (A&D) and bio-photonics market segments.

Working in a multidisciplinary team you will be developing new cutting-edge products for applications in Satellite communications, industrial sensing and biomedical imaging, which will drive and deliver sustained revenue growth.

In this exciting new position, you will be involved in the full product life cycle from initial concept through to prototyping, testing, and final release to manufacture.

Joining a rapidly growing tech company, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits, along with potential for personal and professional development / progression in the future.

Qualifications:

Qualified to at least Degree Level in Electronics, Electrical, Engineering or relevant discipline, and be familiar with Electronics design.

Experience:

You should have significant industrial experience in electronics design & development, with strong analogue/digital/mixed signal circuit design; experience in Firmware/Software development for ARM based micro’s; and schematic capture and layout (e.g. Altium)

Preference will be given to candidates who also have experience with prototyping and laboratory test equipment; a knowledge or familiarity with MISRA or similar coding standards; and RF design experience would be an advantage.

Additional Information:

Candidates MUST hold a full clean UK Driving Licence, as travel may be required to other UK sites.

Candidates MUST be eligible to work and live in the UK. Copies of Passports and Visas will be requested for verification.

Skills: Electronics Design, Electronics, Firmware, Software, RF, MISRA, NPD, NPI, Altium, ARM

Semiconductor Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Semiconductors sit behind almost everything: smartphones, EVs, medical devices, aerospace systems, telecoms networks, cloud data centres & the AI boom. In the UK, the semiconductor ecosystem spans chip design, IP, photonics, compound semiconductors, testing, packaging, equipment, supply chain & R&D. That breadth creates real opportunities for career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s, especially if you target roles where experience, process discipline & delivery skills matter as much as deep device physics. This article gives you a UK reality check: what semiconductor jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills employers value, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a barrier.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Education Jobs

Maths for Semiconductor Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are aiming for semiconductor jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need a PhD level maths toolkit. In practice most roles do not. Whether you are targeting device engineering, process engineering, yield engineering, product engineering, test, reliability, RF, analogue, digital design, EDA, packaging or applications engineering, the maths you actually use clusters into a few workhorse areas. This guide strips it back to the topics that genuinely help you get hired & perform well on the job: Exponents, logs & “physics curves” (Arrhenius style behaviour, subthreshold, leakage) Calculus in plain English (rates, gradients, differential equations intuition) Device electrostatics & transport basics (Poisson equation intuition, drift & diffusion) Complex numbers for AC & RF (impedance, phasors, frequency response) Signals maths (Fourier intuition, bandwidth, noise density) Probability & statistics for manufacturing (SPC, DOE, yield models, reliability basics) Basic optimisation habits (fitting models, tuning trade-offs, making decisions with data) You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
