Designing RF electronics for a thriving Cambridgeshire company

This company develops advanced RF electronics as standalone systems and subsystems for other manufacturers. Their technology has applications across both the commercial and government sectors. As their business continues to grow, they are seeking a Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join their Cambridgeshire-based development team.

With involvement throughout the development lifecycle, you would work on aspects such as design, prototyping, PCB layout, test system development, debugging, documentation and IPR, and transition to manufacture. Reporting to the Hardware Development Manager, you will work in collaboration with colleagues from Marketing, Customer Support, Product Management and Manufacturing. You will have a high degree of ownership over the planning and prioritizing of your work.

You will need:

  • A degree in electronics or a similarly applicable subject from a well-respected university

  • Previous commercial electronics design, test, and debug experience including most of: PCB layout, low level comms – e.g. SPI, I2C, FPGA, Verilog, VHDL, microcontrollers and SOCs

  • Experience in developing embedded software in C and assembler

  • Experience with embedded Linux

  • Practical hands-on skills – prototyping circuits and use of common lab equipment

  • Full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK

    A knowledge of or interest in RF engineering, SDR radios, DSP, or high speed digital design would be beneficial but not essential.

    This is an opportune time to join this successful company as their designs are in increasing demand. They are based in modern offices to the west of Cambridge. A competitive salary and benefits package, and hybrid working are on offer to the successful candidate.

    Keywords: Electronics Design, RF Engineering, Software Defined Radio, PCB Design, Embedded Software / Linux, Cambridgeshire

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.

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.
