Senior Process Engineer

Production / Manufacturing or Quality Engineer required by a highly successful manufacturer on the outskirts of Glasgow.
Our client is a global leader in high-precision manufacturing for the semiconductor and geological science industries. Recent investment has been made in new production systems to support their future growth, which has resulted in a vacancy for an experienced production / quality engineer.

The successful candidate will create and modify essential engineering and production data for use in production planning, manufacturing and financial analysis. They will ensure Bill of materials (BOMs) and routing data are both accurate and sufficiently comprehensive to allow efficient planning and manufacture.

Cutting-edge products combine multiple technologies and are highly customisable, so experience in creating and modifying complex BOMs and Routings is essential. As an integral part of the Engineering team, they will be involved in the modification of engineering and manufacturing data to improve quality, production efficiency and cost.

Qualifications & Experience:

Educated to at least HND level in Mechanical engineering, Production engineering, or similar, with a minimum of 3 years' experience in the creation and modification of Engineering BOM and routing data for multi-level or nested assembly products. Experience of working in a manufacturing facility making complex, high-value, highly customised products would be advantageous. The successful candidate must be fastidious in their work.

Key Activities:

  • Creation and modification of manufacturing data (production routing and BOM data) within their ERP system (Sage X3) for engineered products and components. This will require interrogation of Solidworks part, drawing, assembly and BOM data.
  • To improve the quality and efficiency of manufactured goods through liaison with their Engineering development and Manufacturing teams.
  • Deployment of Lean, value and quality Engineering principles to improve the flow of materials and information through their systems.
  • Proactive time management to ensure adherence to tight deadlines.

    In return, you will receive

  • 33 days' holiday per year.
  • Generous employer pension contributions
  • Performance-related bonus
  • A range of personal benefits including an electric car benefit scheme, a cycle-to-work scheme, subsidised medical and optical care.

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

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.
