Senior Design Engineer
Alfen Recruitment is proud to be working exclusively with a leading innovator in electronic systems, seeking a talented Senior Design Engineer to join their dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects, developing and designing advanced electronic modules and PCBs for high-performance products.
Your Mission:
As a Senior Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, testing, and optimising electronic circuits — both analog and digital — while collaborating closely with internal teams to bring concepts from design to high-volume production.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, design, and test electronic modules and PCBs.
  • Create detailed circuit diagrams aligned with product requirements.
  • Lead analog design efforts, including amplifiers, filters, and power electronics.
  • Drive digital design projects, covering high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet), timers, counters, ADCs, and FPGAs.
  • FPGA design and development — a core focus of this role.
  • Perform mixed-signal simulations, analysis, and fault-finding to refine designs.
  • Prototype, verify, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
  • Prepare technical documentation: test plans, reports, and bills of materials (BOMs).
  • Support production testing and engineering change management.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to take concepts from design to delivery.
  • Continuously enhance design skills and share knowledge with the team.
    What We're Looking For:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 10+ years’ experience in analog and digital circuit design and development.
  • Strong expertise in FPGA design — essential.
  • Proficient in high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet).
  • Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontroller programming.
  • Skilled in circuit simulation, PCB layout, and prototyping.
  • Familiarity with design tools like Altium.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
    Key Attributes:
  • Proactive and goal-oriented.
  • Excellent communication and listening skills.
  • Strong team player with organisational awareness.
  • Focused on delivering high-quality solutions.
    This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Design Engineer to work on innovative electronic solutions within a supportive and collaborative environment.
    Apply now and be part of something groundbreaking.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
