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.

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.

Neurodiversity in Semiconductor Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Semiconductors sit quietly at the heart of everything: phones, cars, medical devices, satellites, data centres & everyday appliances. Behind every chip are people designing circuits, running fabs, testing wafers, modelling devices & solving problems most users never see. Those people are not all “textbook” engineers – & that’s a good thing. If you’re neurodivergent (for example living with ADHD, autism or dyslexia), you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a high-precision, high-reliability industry. In reality, many of the traits that made school or traditional offices hard can be huge strengths in semiconductor work: intense focus on detail, pattern-spotting in test data, creative thinking around yield & process issues. This guide is written for semiconductor job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a semiconductor context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to chip & fab roles Workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the semiconductor industry – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Semiconductor Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the semiconductor jobs market is in that awkward phase of being both overheated and cautious. Global chip demand is booming again, driven by AI, data centres, automotive, defence, 5G and consumer electronics. Fab capacity is set to hit record highs as new plants come online worldwide. At the same time, we are seeing: Waves of investment and hiring in some regions and companies. Restructuring and layoffs in others, as firms rebalance portfolios and chase AI margins. A deepening global skills shortage, with forecasts of major shortfalls in engineers and technicians by 2030. For the UK, the sector is small but strategically vital. The National Semiconductor Strategy, public funding and participation in European chip programmes are all aimed at building domestic capability in design, compound semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. So what does all this mean for semiconductor jobs in 2026 – and for employers trying to recruit in a brutally competitive market?
