  • Proven experience designing power modules

  • Expertise in high-reliability applications (aerospace or similar)

  • Proficiency in CAD (electrical/mechanical) and design simulations

  • Understanding of SiC, GaN, and traditional silicon technologies

  • Experience with semiconductor packaging materials

  • Competence in Design of Experiments, 8D problem solving, and data analysis

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

  • Strong project planning and documentation abilities

    Desirable:

  • Degree or HND/HNC in Engineering

  • Experience in electronics manufacturing environments

  • Knowledge of lean and statistical process control techniques

  • Familiarity with military and high-reliability standards

Rural-Remote Semiconductor Jobs: Innovation Beyond Urban Borders

A Fresh Outlook for Semiconductor Professionals Mention semiconductor jobs and many people instantly visualise state-of-the-art fabrication plants (fabs), sterile cleanrooms, and corporate campuses in or near big tech cities. While it’s true that silicon chips do require advanced manufacturing sites, the shift towards remote work—amplified by digital collaboration tools, cloud-based design systems, and global talent needs—now enables many roles in the semiconductor sector to exist beyond traditional urban technology corridors. At SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing an uptick in opportunities for professionals seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “semiconductor remote countryside” positions. Newer tools and processes allow chip designers, EDA (Electronic Design Automation) specialists, and supply chain coordinators, among others, to operate from locations they prefer—be that a scenic rural hamlet or a rugged coastal town. The quest for a balanced, more affordable life is drawing highly skilled chip engineers, application developers, and managers out of city centres and into the UK’s picturesque regions. If you’ve ever pictured finishing a complex circuit design review, then stepping outside to rolling hills or the sound of ocean waves, this article is for you. Read on to discover why rural or coastal living doesn’t mean sacrificing cutting-edge career prospects, how to navigate potential challenges, and how to find (or create) your dream rural-remote semiconductor role.
