Are you a hands-on Process Engineer with a passion for automated manufacturing? We're looking for someone just like you to join our Newport team on a 6-month fixed-term contract!

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in both modifying two existing products and introducing two exciting new ones into production. You'll be right where the action is-working directly with production machinery, implementing practical changes, and leading pre-production trials to ensure everything runs like clockwork.

You'll work closely with our Product Development Engineer based in Sweden, acting as the vital link between product design and manufacturing reality. With around 80% of your time on the shop floor, this role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Key responsibilities as Process Engineer will be to: -

  • Modify and optimise existing production equipment to suit updated and new product designs.
  • Program and operate automated machinery like conveyors, cutters, and folding machines.
  • Tweak machine sequences and settings for top performance.
  • Lead pre-production trials and support production rollouts.
  • Collaborate with the remote Product Development Engineer to ensure designs are ready to hit the shop floor.

    The successful Process Engineer will: -

  • Solid experience in automated manufacturing environments.
  • Strong hands-on skills with machinery for cutting, folding, gluing, or printing.
  • The ability to troubleshoot and fine-tune machine timing, speed, and sequence.
  • A proactive mindset and love for practical problem-solving.
  • Confidence working in a dynamic, production-driven environment.

    On offer:

  • £35.00 Hour - Limited Company Rate or £28.00 Hour PAYE Rate

    Interested? To apply, please send your CV to Emma Brighouse at Morgan Ryder Associates to progress.

    At Morgan Ryder we can provide you with a full range of employment opportunities from short term and fixed term temporary vacancies to permanent positions.

    We recruit for companies that operate in the following industries: Food and Drink Manufacturers, FMCG, Packaging, Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Warehousing, Logistics, Waste Management, Petro Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Power & Renewable Energy.

    Please note that calls to and from the offices of Morgan Ryder Associates Ltd. may be monitored or recorded. This is to ensure compliance with regulatory procedures, record business transactions and for training purposes

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.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Semiconductor Jobs Hub

Semiconductors are the tiny silicon devices that power everything from smartphones and computers to electric vehicles, medical equipment, and satellites. As the global economy becomes ever more digital and electrified, demand for semiconductors continues to grow at pace. This translates directly into a rising need for skilled professionals across design, research and development, manufacturing, testing, and supply chain roles. The United Kingdom has a growing semiconductor ecosystem. While the country’s market is smaller than in the United States, EU, or parts of Asia, the UK holds strengths in chip design, intellectual property, research excellence, and advanced packaging. With growing government support, strong universities, and nascent manufacturing infrastructure, the UK is well-positioned to become a global semiconductor jobs hub. This article explores the current landscape, the UK's unique advantages, key job roles, challenges ahead, and what needs to happen for the UK to lead in semiconductor careers.
