We are working in partnership with a leading manufacturing organisation to recruit an experienced Process Engineer with a strong background in Welding. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically driven engineer to join a well-established engineering team supporting high-quality, precision manufacturing operations.

The Role

As a Process Engineer specialising in welding, you will play a key role in developing, optimising, and supporting welding processes across production. You will work closely with manufacturing, quality, and design teams to ensure robust, repeatable processes that meet both customer and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve welding processes across manufacturing operations.

  • Define welding parameters, process documentation, and standard operating procedures.

  • Lead welding process qualification and validation activities,

  • Troubleshoot welding defects and process issues using structured root cause analysis.

  • Support new product introduction (NPI), including process trials and production ramp-up.

  • Ensure compliance with relevant welding and quality standards (e.g. ISO, ASME, AWS).

  • Work closely with production teams to provide technical support and process training.

  • Liaise with equipment suppliers and consumable vendors as required.

    Candidate Profile

  • Qualified in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • Proven experience in a Process Engineering role with a strong emphasis on welding.

  • Hands-on knowledge of welding processes such as MIG, TIG, Resistance, Laser, or Robotic welding.

  • Strong understanding of welding metallurgy, defect mechanisms, and quality standards.

  • Confident communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally in a manufacturing environment.

  • Experience in regulated or high-quality manufacturing sectors would be advantageous.

    What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Long-term career progression within a stable and growing organisation.

  • Support from a knowledgeable engineering leadership team.

Semiconductor Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Semiconductors sit behind almost everything: smartphones, EVs, medical devices, aerospace systems, telecoms networks, cloud data centres & the AI boom. In the UK, the semiconductor ecosystem spans chip design, IP, photonics, compound semiconductors, testing, packaging, equipment, supply chain & R&D. That breadth creates real opportunities for career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s, especially if you target roles where experience, process discipline & delivery skills matter as much as deep device physics. This article gives you a UK reality check: what semiconductor jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills employers value, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a barrier.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Semiconductor Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are aiming for semiconductor jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need a PhD level maths toolkit. In practice most roles do not. Whether you are targeting device engineering, process engineering, yield engineering, product engineering, test, reliability, RF, analogue, digital design, EDA, packaging or applications engineering, the maths you actually use clusters into a few workhorse areas. This guide strips it back to the topics that genuinely help you get hired & perform well on the job: Exponents, logs & “physics curves” (Arrhenius style behaviour, subthreshold, leakage) Calculus in plain English (rates, gradients, differential equations intuition) Device electrostatics & transport basics (Poisson equation intuition, drift & diffusion) Complex numbers for AC & RF (impedance, phasors, frequency response) Signals maths (Fourier intuition, bandwidth, noise density) Probability & statistics for manufacturing (SPC, DOE, yield models, reliability basics) Basic optimisation habits (fitting models, tuning trade-offs, making decisions with data) You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
