Senior Process Engineer – Renewable Energy / Hydrothermal Technology

Cambridge, UK

Are you an experienced Process Engineer looking for a role with real technical autonomy and impact? This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of green energy by designing and delivering breakthrough hydrothermal technology that converts waste carbon into sustainable fuels, chemicals, and gases.

You’ll play a central role in developing and commissioning a pioneering green methanol plant, working across the full lifecycle from concept and design through to delivery. With plenty of industry experience, you’ll bring technical expertise and leadership to a small but highly skilled team, with scope to grow into a specialist or leadership position as the company scales.

What you’ll do:

Lead process engineering input from concept through FEED and execution

Develop PFDs, P&IDs, mass balances, and equipment specifications

Optimise designs for efficiency, operability, and safety compliance

Take part in HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, and other key safety reviews

Support procurement, construction, and commissioning activities

Collaborate with EPC contractors, OEMs, and project teams

Mentor junior engineers and help build process engineering capability

About you:

Degree in chemical engineering (Chartered status desirable)

Strong background in hydrogen production, electrolysis, or related industries (oil & gas, industrial gases, etc.)

Solid knowledge of process safety and design standards

Skilled problem solver, adaptable to dynamic project environments

Excellent communicator with a collaborative mindset

What’s on offer:

Competitive salary + stock options

Employer pension scheme

Flexible working hours

26 days annual leave (plus bank holidays & your birthday off)

Annual personal development budget

Cutting-edge tools & hardware

Chance to be an early team member in a fast-growing clean-tech company

Semiconductor Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Semiconductors sit behind almost everything: smartphones, EVs, medical devices, aerospace systems, telecoms networks, cloud data centres & the AI boom. In the UK, the semiconductor ecosystem spans chip design, IP, photonics, compound semiconductors, testing, packaging, equipment, supply chain & R&D. That breadth creates real opportunities for career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s, especially if you target roles where experience, process discipline & delivery skills matter as much as deep device physics. This article gives you a UK reality check: what semiconductor jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills employers value, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a barrier.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Education Jobs

Maths for Semiconductor Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are aiming for semiconductor jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need a PhD level maths toolkit. In practice most roles do not. Whether you are targeting device engineering, process engineering, yield engineering, product engineering, test, reliability, RF, analogue, digital design, EDA, packaging or applications engineering, the maths you actually use clusters into a few workhorse areas. This guide strips it back to the topics that genuinely help you get hired & perform well on the job: Exponents, logs & “physics curves” (Arrhenius style behaviour, subthreshold, leakage) Calculus in plain English (rates, gradients, differential equations intuition) Device electrostatics & transport basics (Poisson equation intuition, drift & diffusion) Complex numbers for AC & RF (impedance, phasors, frequency response) Signals maths (Fourier intuition, bandwidth, noise density) Probability & statistics for manufacturing (SPC, DOE, yield models, reliability basics) Basic optimisation habits (fitting models, tuning trade-offs, making decisions with data) You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
