Location: Gloucester

Contract: Permanent

We are currently recruiting for an aerospace client based in Gloucester, who are looking for a process quality engineer to join the team.

As Process Engineer, you will primarily be responsible for driving the optimisation and

improvement of the organisation’s manufacturing operations

The role will also support the effective introduction of new products and processes, ensuring that methodologies are applied to their design and implementation in the

manufacturing facility.

Role Responsibilities  – Process Engineer

Carry out daily process engineering activities within the assigned value stream using standardised tools and procedures.
Work with Quality Engineering to complete PFMEAs, Control Plans, and implement effective process controls.
Maintain accurate Standard Operating Instructions and detailed production process maps using tools such as VSMs, Yamazumi charts, and time studies.
Develop and manage efficiency improvement plans to enhance production flow, reduce waste, and lower costs.
Manage tooling, analyse manufacturing data, and provide technical support to resolve issues and improve OEE.
Support new product and process introductions, Lean events, and cross-functional root cause analysis activities.
Contribute to BMS utilisation, procedure development, KPI reporting, audits, and ensure safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance.
Build strong relationships within the value stream team, stay updated on industry best practices, and complete other reasonable tasks as required.
The ideal candidate for the Process Engineer would have:

Significant process engineering experience within a complex manufacturing environment.
Proficiency with process engineering tools such as Yamazumi, MOST time studies, SOPs, Value Stream Mapping, SPC, and Spaghetti diagrams.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for resolving complex process issues.
Knowledge of process safety, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)..
Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
Desirable experience in Lean methodologies, APQP tools (PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans), and project management tools such as Gantt charts.

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.
