Process Engineer Responsibilities:

Own the process development lifecycle, working alongside product development teams to integrate DfM and PFMEA principles.
Lead and develop a small team of Process Engineers — assigning tasks, balancing workloads, and fostering technical growth.
Design and manage process trials (DoE) with traceable results and evidence of process capability.
Create and implement Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) — promoting best practices across production teams.
Drive quality and productivity improvements using lean techniques, 8D root cause analysis, and problem-solving methods.
Support the selection, design and implementation of fixtures, tooling, and test equipment.
Act as the technical lead for continuous improvement and efficiency across the Power Electronics process stream.
Support internal training and mentoring to build long-term team capability.
Process Engineer Experience:

A degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (2:1 or above preferred).

Demonstrable experience in process engineering within a high-tech manufacturing environment.

Experience managing or mentoring small engineering teams.

Familiarity with 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.) to design jigs and fixtures.

Strong knowledge of manufacturing process selection, tolerancing, and DfM principles.

Excellent problem-solving ability and experience applying structured methodologies (PFMEA, DoE, 8D, etc.).

Exposure to quality systems such as ISO9001, IATF16949 (IPC knowledge beneficial).

Confident communicator, able to liaise with internal teams, customers, and suppliers.

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

Why Semiconductor Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to advanced computing to automotive systems. The UK semiconductor industry is expanding amid renewed global interest in chip sovereignty and lithography innovation. But the demands on professionals in semiconductor roles are shifting too. Today, semiconductor careers are no longer limited to clean-room engineers or circuit layout designers. Because chips affect data privacy, critical infrastructure, supply security and performance constraints, careers in this sphere are becoming deeply multidisciplinary. Knowledge in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design is increasingly relevant to semiconductor engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why semiconductor careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with semiconductor work, and what job-seekers & employers can do to adapt.

Semiconductor Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Semiconductor Department

The semiconductor industry underpins nearly all modern electronics—from smartphones and servers to sensors, automotive control systems, artificial intelligence accelerators, and more. In the UK it plays a growing role in chip design, MEMS, optoelectronics, and foundry services. Building performant, reliable, competitive semiconductor products requires tightly coordinated teams that span design, fabrication, testing, packaging, yield engineering, reliability, verification, quality, and supply chain. If you’re applying for semiconductor roles via SemiconductorJobs.co.uk or building a semiconductor team, this guide will help you understand the typical roles, how they collaborate across the product lifecycle, what skills UK employers expect, salary expectations, common challenges, and how to structure teams to succeed.
