Process Engineer (Hybrid Working)

Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire

Salary: £60,000–£70,000 D.O.E

An ambitious clean-tech company is on a mission to make innovative energy storage the global standard. Enabling manufacturers, industrial processors, and heavy-energy users to decarbonise at scale.

As part of their growth, they’re looking for a Process Engineer to take ownership of the control logic, instrumentation, and system architecture behind a next-generation thermal energy storage steam generator. This is a pivotal opportunity to shape a first-of-its-kind industrial product as it moves through design, prototype optimisation, and deployment into real customer sites.

As Process Engineer, you will:

Become the internal authority on control sequences, fluids system control, and instrumentation — guiding the operability, safety, and performance of a breakthrough energy system. You’ll work across concept design, detailed engineering, prototype testing, and customer-site integration.

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Shape the full control architecture of a new industrial clean-energy product
  • Influence how the system operates, responds, and manages faults across all conditions
  • Work closely with fluids, mechanical, and automation specialists to ensure seamless system behaviour
  • Play a hands-on role in prototype optimisation and commissioning on real industrial sites

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the complete control logic and operating sequences for the thermal storage steam generator
  • Design high-level control strategies to maximise system operability, safety, and performance
  • Specify instrumentation and controls hardware including valves, VFDs, pressure/temperature sensors, flow meters, and safety devices

Essential Experience

  • Proven experience designing complete control sequences for complex or novel industrial systems
  • Strong knowledge of industrial fluids systems (valves, pumps, piping), ideally including steam processes, especially from a controls perspective
  • Strong knowledge of fluids instrumentation and control hardware

Why Join

You’ll be part of a mission-driven, supportive team working toward a cleaner industrial future. Expect an informal, inclusive culture where every voice is valued. Flexible working, share options, and family-friendly policies are all part of the offering.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Semiconductor Job Applications (UK Guide)

The semiconductor industry is fast-moving, highly technical and critically important to modern technology. Whether you’re targeting roles in device design, process engineering, yield improvement, test and validation, equipment engineering, reliability, failure analysis or fab operations, hiring managers are selective and deliberate in how they review applications. Most candidates still make the same mistake: they throw generic skill lists and duty statements at recruiters and hope it sticks. In reality, hiring managers make an early call — often within the first 10–20 seconds — based on a few key signals that tell them whether you’re a credible, relevant, impactful candidate. This article breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in semiconductor job applications — how they scan your CV, portfolio and cover letter, what makes them read deeper, and what causes strong candidates to be passed over in favour of others.
