Your missions

We are looking to recruit a Junior Process Engineer to work on a variety of projects relating to fluid flow systems, with a focus on mixing processes in both the nuclear and non-nuclear process sectors. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop his technical skills by working on a range of projects and through internal and external training.

As part of the Process Engineering team in Framatome Ltd, your mission is to deliver high quality engineering output and contribute to the successful delivery of engineering research, design and consultancy projects for both internal and external clients in a safe and efficient manner.

You will be a part of the Process Engineering team your daily responsibilities will include:

  • Working closely with peers, including those involved in mechanical and process design, simulations, and the manufacture, set-up and operation of test rigs,
  • Development of experimental test programmes and specification of key objectives,
  • Performing experimental test work in the in the laboratory, and analysing and interpreting the results,
  • Specify materials and equipment required for testing,
  • Presenting results/analysis to both peers and external clients,
  • Performing calculations relating to the design and operation of fluid systems,
  • Producing documentation , including detailed technical reports,
  • Carrying out team activities while adhering to project budgets and deadlines,
  • Contributing to technical project proposals and costings,
  • Contribute to the development of company quality and health and safety processes.

    The key outputs of the role will be:

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.

The Skills Gap in Semiconductor Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The semiconductor industry lies at the heart of modern technology. From smartphones and data centres to autonomous vehicles, medical devices and defence systems, semiconductors power the digital age. The UK is investing heavily in semiconductor research, fabrication and talent development as part of its industrial strategy — yet employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not job-ready for semiconductor roles. Despite strong academic programmes in engineering, physics and materials science, there remains a tangible skills gap between what universities teach and what semiconductor employers actually need. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, where there are consistent shortfalls, why the divide persists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build successful careers in the semiconductor sector.
