A Senior Verification & Test Engineer is sought by a globally recognised organisation specialising in advanced engineering solutions for high-tech manufacturing processes. The company is dedicated to driving innovation and supporting clients in achieving sustainable production outcomes.
Reporting to the Lead Verification & Test Engineer, under the direction of the Systems Engineering Manager, this role will undertake verification and test activities for manufacturing equipment. The role spans from concept to customer commissioning and field trials, ensuring solutions are safe, compliant, and delivered on time, within budget, and to specification through best-practice engineering. The role involves close collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, team leaders, project managers, manufacturing, service, and customer representatives.
Main Responsibilities

  • Undertake verification and test (V&T) activities across projects, collaborating effectively to achieve project milestones through to completion.
  • Lead V&T activities as requested, ensuring successful progression through project milestones.
  • Support the development of robust V&T plans for products, modules, and sub-assemblies in accordance with company processes.
  • Verify and test designs to ensure they meet stated requirements and conform to relevant standards, directives, and regulations through calculation, virtual testing (simulation), or physical testing.
  • Ensure contributions positively impact solution quality, cost, and task timelines, taking pride in work accuracy.
  • Document verification and testing activities thoroughly and in a timely manner, adhering to requirements.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to clarify V&T work packages and resolve engineering issues.
  • Work across multiple cross-functional teams to influence project direction and deliver innovative projects on time, cost, and scope.
    Experience & Skills
  • Engineering Degree (Bachelor’s, Essential) or demonstrable equivalent.
  • Registered Incorporated Engineer or working towards registration with a recognised engineering institution.
  • Accreditations or formal qualifications in Systems Engineering, Verification & Validation, or Functional Safety.
  • Knowledge of Systems Engineering per INCOSE Manual v5 / ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288.
  • Understanding of working in a regulated, compliance-driven industry, with knowledge of product safety and compliance to standards like EN 61511, safety/design review methods (PHA, HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA), semiconductor industry standards (SEMI S2), and risk assessment (Semi S10). (Desirable)
  • Knowledge of best-practice verification, test, and engineering principles.
  • Ability to concisely report technical deliverables and requirements to engineers, project managers, and project teams.

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.

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.
