Senior Device Engineer (County Durham)

Join a high-impact engineering team advancing the next generation of RF semiconductor technology.

You'll contribute to the development and support of cutting-edge GaN and GaAs device technologies for high-frequency applications, playing a key role from early concept to full-scale production.

What You’ll Do:

• Help design and develop compound semiconductor (GaN/GaAs) RF devices from concept to production.
• Support the introduction of new process technologies with Process and Reliability teams.
• Monitor and improve device performance using data-driven methods and SPC techniques.
• Contribute to troubleshooting and resolving manufacturing issues with a focus on device behavior.
• Collaborate closely with Process, Test, and Reliability Engineering teams across the development lifecycle.

What You’ll Need:

• Degree (or higher) in Electronic/Electrical Engineering or Physics with strong knowledge of semiconductor physics.
• Experience in semiconductor device development, fabrication, or characterization—especially transistors.
• Solid analytical skills and familiarity with data/statistical tools (e.g., SPC, regression).
• Working knowledge of device physics and electronic behavior of RF components.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with RF measurements, photonic devices, or working in a semiconductor fab.
• Programming skills (Python, C/C#, SQL) and familiarity with analysis tools like JMP.
• Knowledge of advanced statistical techniques (DOE, FMEA, ANOVA).
• British citizenship is required for this position.
