MEMS Design Engineer
Location: Manchester, UK
Job Type: Full-Time | On-Site
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented MEMS Design Engineer to join a growing deep-tech organisation developing next-generation MEMS-based sensing technology.
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will play a key role in the design and development of innovative MEMS devices, taking concepts from simulation and modelling through to fabrication, testing and validation. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology at the intersection of MEMS, photonics, optics and semiconductor manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop MEMS devices for advanced sensing applications.
- Create device concepts, simulations, layouts and fabrication-ready designs.
- Perform multiphysics modelling and simulation, including mechanical, thermal, electrostatic and optical analysis.
- Develop and optimise MEMS structures such as actuators, suspension systems, mirrors and interferometers.
- Create mask layouts and support design release activities.
- Collaborate with fabrication teams and external manufacturing partners.
- Analyse test data and correlate experimental results with simulations.
- Investigate performance limitations and drive continuous design improvements.
- Support system integration activities alongside optics, electronics and manufacturing teams.
- Contribute to intellectual property development and future technology roadmaps.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
