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

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.

How Many Semiconductor Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Semiconductor Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the semiconductor industry, it can feel like you’re expected to master an endless list of tools, software packages and lab equipment before you even submit a CV. One job advert wants experience with TCAD and process simulation, another mentions SPICE and yield tools, while yet another asks for test automation platforms, yield analysis software, hardware description languages, EDA suites and hundreds of others. With so many technical names thrown around, it’s easy to fall into “tool anxiety” — the feeling that you’re behind because you don’t know every piece of software, every lab instrument and every process control suite. Here’s the honest truth most semiconductor hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real engineering problems and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter, absolutely. But they exist to help you deliver measurable results — not to be collected like badges. So how many semiconductor tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer is a lot fewer than you might think — and far more focused on core capabilities than a long checklist. This guide breaks down what employers really value, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you are confident and credible.
