Test Engineer | £39.6k–£46.8k incl. Shift Allowance | Severn Beach (Bristol Area)
Permanent | Rotating Shift Pattern | High-Tech Engineering Sector

Are you an experienced Electrical Test Engineer looking to take your skills to the next level in a high-tech, fast-paced environment? This is your chance to join a growing team at the forefront of innovation in semiconductor and micro/nano-structure technology.

We're working with a leading engineering company based near Bristol that delivers precision tools and systems used in everything from quantum computing and medical diagnostics to electric vehicles. Due to sustained growth, they are looking to bring four new Test Engineers on board to support the testing and delivery of complex, cutting-edge products.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Conduct functional testing on high-tech systems, ensuring full compliance with detailed test procedures.

  • Own your product throughout the test phase, proactively resolving technical issues and faults.

  • Support continuous improvement and fault analysis initiatives to enhance product quality.

  • Accurately capture data, report issues (FRACAS), and work closely with engineering and production teams.

  • Participate in pre-acceptance visits and, on occasion, travel to customer sites for system commissioning.

  • Champion 5S and contribute to safety, quality, and cleanliness across the test department.

    What We’re Looking For:

  • Time-served Electrical apprenticeship or qualifications such as City & Guilds Level 3, HNC, HND, or BTech in Electrical Engineering.

  • Strong hands-on testing and fault-finding experience to component level.

  • Proven ability to follow technical procedures and maintain documentation to high standards.

  • A team player with excellent communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

  • Comfortable working on a rotating shift pattern and open to occasional travel when required.

    What’s In It For You:

  • £33,000 – £39,000 base + 20% shift allowance

  • Total package: £39,600 – £46,800

  • Early finish on Fridays, 25 days holiday, private healthcare, and a tailored benefits package.

  • Long-term career development within a highly respected engineering company.

  • Opportunity to work on genuinely pioneering technology in a collaborative, high-energy environment.

    If you are interested, please call Sam Bishop on (phone number removed) or apply online

  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK to apply for this position

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.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
