NPI Engineer | £45,000 - £55,000 | Cambridge

Our client is looking for an experienced NPI Engineer to join their team and take a leading role in the full product development lifecycle, from concept and prototyping through to production and ongoing support. This role requires a strong background in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and hands-on experience transferring products into key manufacturing processes such as PCBA, Final Assembly, and Pack-Out. Proven collaboration with Contract Manufacturers to successfully introduce new products and processes is essential.

The Role:



Take ownership of the mechanical, electronic, and support aspects of introducing new product developments into the supply chain.

*

Work closely on new product development projects to ensure supply chain readiness and subcontract manufacturer capability for high-volume, high-quality production.

*

Develop and implement new manufacturing equipment and processes, ensuring they are fully documented, qualified, and capable of meeting yield and capacity targets.

*

Define and apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles, ensuring PCB and mechanical designs are suitable for production methods and cost-effective to manufacture.

Key Qualifications and Experience:

*

DFM Qualified

*

Proven experience as an NPI, Manufacturing, Production, or Process Engineer within electro-mechanical product environments.

*

Strong knowledge of the full New Product Introduction (NPI) lifecycle, from initial concept through to production ramp-up.

*

Solid understanding of electro-mechanical manufacturing processes, including Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and mechanical assembly.

*

Experienced in analysing production and test yield data in high-volume manufacturing environments to drive process improvements.

This role requires candidates to hold a full, clean UK driving licence and their own car. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking company where your expertise will directly influence the success of cutting-edge product launches. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working across disciplines, and want to play a key role in delivering high-quality, high-performance products to market, we want to hear from you. Apply now and take the next step in your engineering career with a company that values innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
