Junior Process Engineer

£30,000

Yolk Recruitment are supporting an established and growing manufacturing business in their search for a Junior Process Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent engineering graduate who's ready to apply their degree in a real-world production environment.

You'll join a collaborative, people-focused team where no two days are the same. Working closely with production, quality, and engineering teams to solve problems, improve processes, and gain hands-on experience in a regulated manufacturing setting.

Full training and mentorship will be provided, so while experience isn't required, confidence, curiosity, and strong communication skills are essential.

Key responsibilities:

Working closely with production teams to investigate and resolve technical issues on the shop floor.
Supporting validation activities, from experiment design through to final reporting on processes and equipment.
Assisting in new product introduction, ensuring smooth design transfer and change implementation.
Helping to create and maintain manufacturing documentation, including Bills of Materials and process instructions.
Contributing to risk management activities, maintaining PFMEAs, DFMEAs, and associated documentation.
Designing and commissioning jigs and fixtures using CAD to improve production efficiency.
Supporting continuous improvement projects, using data to drive process reliability and capability enhancements.
Assisting with root cause analysis and CAPA investigations to prevent recurring issues.This is what you'll need:

Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related discipline).
Confident communicator comfortable engaging with colleagues across production and technical teams.
Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset.
Proactive and eager to learn, with the ability to take initiative.
Organised, reliable, and able to manage multiple tasks to tight deadlines.And this is what you'll get:

Competitive salary.
Option to purchase additional holidays.
Fantastic career progression opportunities

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

Why Semiconductor Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to advanced computing to automotive systems. The UK semiconductor industry is expanding amid renewed global interest in chip sovereignty and lithography innovation. But the demands on professionals in semiconductor roles are shifting too. Today, semiconductor careers are no longer limited to clean-room engineers or circuit layout designers. Because chips affect data privacy, critical infrastructure, supply security and performance constraints, careers in this sphere are becoming deeply multidisciplinary. Knowledge in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design is increasingly relevant to semiconductor engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why semiconductor careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with semiconductor work, and what job-seekers & employers can do to adapt.

Semiconductor Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Semiconductor Department

The semiconductor industry underpins nearly all modern electronics—from smartphones and servers to sensors, automotive control systems, artificial intelligence accelerators, and more. In the UK it plays a growing role in chip design, MEMS, optoelectronics, and foundry services. Building performant, reliable, competitive semiconductor products requires tightly coordinated teams that span design, fabrication, testing, packaging, yield engineering, reliability, verification, quality, and supply chain. If you’re applying for semiconductor roles via SemiconductorJobs.co.uk or building a semiconductor team, this guide will help you understand the typical roles, how they collaborate across the product lifecycle, what skills UK employers expect, salary expectations, common challenges, and how to structure teams to succeed.
