Pin Point Recruitment is looking for an experienced Production Process Engineer to join a leading electronics manufacturer. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on reviewing and improving production processes, supporting customers from design through to manufacture, and ensuring high-quality builds across PCB, cable, and electromechanical assembly.

The Role

You will play a key part in developing and implementing improved methods and equipment for electronics manufacturing. Working closely with customers and internal teams, you will cover PCB design recommendations, assembly, testing, and electromechanical builds, while supporting the production process utilising SMT assembly, selective and flow soldering, and board cleaning.

You will also ensure compliance with AS/EN 9100 and ISO 9001 standards, support continuous improvement initiatives, and act as a technical point of contact for both customers and colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

  • Convert customer drawings, specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) into documentation suitable for production processes

  • Support PCB, cable, and electromechanical builds

  • Improve production yields and quality through process engineering and consumable selection

  • Provide technical support to customers and internal teams

  • Work hands-on on the shop floor when required

  • Adhere to AS/EN 9100 and ISO 9001 quality standards

  • Follow health and safety procedures and environmental policies

    What We’re Looking For

    Essential:

  • Degree in Engineering or HNC/HND in Electronic Engineering, or equivalent relevant experience

  • Strong computer skills with Word, Excel, and database/analysis packages

  • Knowledge and experience in the electronics manufacturing industry

  • Proven track record of process engineering support within a CEM environment

  • Solid electronic manufacturing engineering background

  • Experience implementing lean manufacturing and continuous improvement techniques

  • Strong project management experience

  • Experience with EN 9100:2018 (AS9100) standards

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills

  • Ability to work independently in a standalone role

    Desirable:

  • Experience using ERP systems such as Epicor 10

    Other Requirements

  • Practical, hands-on approach with excellent attention to detail

  • Commitment to continuous improvement and high-quality standards

    If you are looking for a role where you can apply your technical expertise, support customer-focused projects, and play a key part in driving manufacturing improvements, we would like to hear from you

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Semiconductor Skills in 2025/26

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern technology. From the processors in your smartphone to the power electronics that drive electric vehicles, semiconductors enable the digital world. They are at the heart of computing, communications, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing. For students, graduates, and career changers in the UK, the semiconductor industry offers outstanding opportunities. But employers expect more than theoretical knowledge. They want candidates who can model devices, simulate circuits, verify layouts, and understand how design choices impact performance. The challenge? Many professional semiconductor design tools are expensive, costing thousands of pounds for a licence. But the good news is that there are a number of free and open-source tools that allow you to practise key semiconductor skills — from device physics to circuit design and layout — entirely without cost. This article explores the best free tools and platforms to practise semiconductor skills in 2025. Each tool is explained, along with the skills it helps you develop, project ideas you can try, and how these can be turned into portfolio work that UK employers will value.

Top 10 Skills in Semiconductor Careers According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

The semiconductor industry is at the heart of modern technology—from smartphones and data centres to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. In the UK, this sector is gaining momentum, backed by government investment and rapidly evolving R&D efforts. Consequently, there’s a growing demand for professionals equipped with cutting-edge skills across design, fabrication, and quality. But what exactly are employers prioritising today? Analysing job postings on LinkedIn and Indeed reveals the Top 10 semiconductor skills UK employers are seeking in 2025. This article breaks them down and shows you how to demonstrate them on your CV, in interviews, and through real-world projects.

The Future of Semiconductor Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Semiconductors are the hidden foundation of modern life. These microscopic chips power everything from smartphones and laptops to cars, satellites, medical devices, and national defence systems. Without them, today’s digital economy simply wouldn’t exist. Globally, the semiconductor market was worth more than $600 billion in 2023 and is projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2030. Demand is accelerating as industries digitise and technologies like AI, 5G, electric vehicles, renewable energy, and quantum computing expand. In the UK, semiconductors are viewed as strategically vital. The government’s UK Semiconductor Strategy, published in 2023, commits £1 billion over 10 years to research, design, and supply chain resilience. While the UK does not operate mega-fabrication plants like Taiwan or South Korea, it has globally recognised strengths in design, R&D, and compound semiconductors, with hubs in Cambridge, Manchester, and South Wales. The semiconductor industry is undergoing profound change. Traditional silicon-based chips are reaching physical limits, leading to the rise of compound semiconductors, photonics, nanotechnology, and quantum devices. This technological shift will create entirely new jobs. Many of the most important semiconductor careers of the next 20 years don’t exist today. This article explores why semiconductors will create new jobs, the future careers likely to emerge, how current roles will evolve, why the UK is well placed, and how professionals can prepare now.
