I am currently working with an established technology company in Cambridge that develops a range of high-volume computing and embedded products. Due to continued growth, they are looking to hire a Physical Design Engineer to join its expanding team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Physical Design Engineer to work within a highly collaborative team, contributing across the full chip development lifecycle from early design stages through to silicon delivery and product release. The team is relatively small, giving engineers broad exposure and the opportunity to have a genuine impact on product development.
