Create job alert

We are seeking a senior or lead Electronics Engineer to join a growing and dynamic engineering team focused on cutting-edge technology projects. This is an excellent opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, contributing to the design, development, and support of advanced electronic systems.

You’ll be responsible for hands-on electronic design, working alongside other engineering disciplines including optical and mechanical teams, while also mentoring junior engineers and supporting them technically as needed. The role provides a unique chance to be part of both sustaining product efforts and new R&D initiatives, with the opportunity to develop prototypes, tackle complex system-level challenges, and deliver production-ready solutions.

The environment is fast-moving, offering engineers exposure to a broad variety of technical work and full visibility over the lifecycle of innovative products - from concept to production and beyond. The team fosters a supportive and collaborative culture, ideal for engineers who enjoy problem-solving, learning, and contributing to highly technical projects.

This role is suited to experienced engineers who are passionate about electronics, looking to deepen their technical expertise, and interested in mentoring others without fully stepping into a managerial path.

Required Skills and Experience:
Strong analogue and digital circuit design experience (op-amp circuits essential)
Full product lifecycle exposure – from concept, requirements, design, and prototyping through to production
Mixed signal design and control (e.g. laser diode or motor control, PID tuning)
Microcontroller-based system design (STM32/STM series preferred)
Experience with PCB schematic capture and layout
Understanding of DFT (Design for Test) and DFM (Design for Manufacture) principles
EMC compliance and design considerations
Practical prototyping skills including soldering and debugging
Degree-qualified in Electronics or a related field
Ability to work collaboratively across multi-disciplinary teams
Comfortable supporting junior engineers through coaching and knowledge sharing

Desirable Skills and Experience:
Exposure to Verilog for FPGA development
Experience working in fast-paced commercial environments
Familiarity with optical or mechanical integration in system design
Experience with sustaining engineering for production products
Knowledge of embedded systems integration and firmware interaction

We are open to both senior and lead-level candidates. For lead roles, approximately 70–80% of the role will remain hands-on during early-stage development, shifting to more mentorship as projects mature. Flexibility is offered based on project stage and team needs.

This role is ideally suited to candidates with 5 -15 years of relevant experience, with opportunity for progression into principal-level engineering. Relocation support may be available for candidates moving from other regions

How to Find Hidden Semiconductor Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IET, SEMI & More

The UK semiconductor sector is expanding—from chip design and fabrication to testing, automotive systems, IoT and quantum applications. But most of the best roles in this mission-critical field are never advertised publicly, often staying hidden within the専門 technical community. In this guide, we’ll reveal how to access these hidden semiconductor job opportunities in the UK by leveraging membership of professional bodies like the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), SEMI, EPSRC/Semiconductor Research Group, TechUK, and grassroots electronics‑hardware communities. Learn how to use directories, SIGs, CPD events and industry networks to get your name in front of hiring managers—before roles hit job boards.

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.
