Looking for more than just another Senior Design Engineer role?
This is an opportunity to join a globally recognised semiconductor company while enjoying the benefits of working within a smaller, highly influential design centre. You’ll have the chance to take on genuine technical leadership, influence product direction and play a key role in shaping the future of next-generation mixed-signal products.
If you’re tired of feeling like just another number in a large organisation, waiting years for the next promotion or seeing your career progression dictated by tenure rather than ability, this could be exactly the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
As the company expands into exciting new markets including robotics, humanoid systems and AI data centres, they’re looking for a Senior Digital Design Engineer to help define and deliver the digital architecture behind their industry-leading mixed-signal motor control ICs.
This is a role where you’ll have real influence—not only over the technology, but also over how the Edinburgh design centre continues to grow.
The opportunity
You’ll lead the architecture and implementation of complex digital solutions, ranging from standalone IP through to full System-on-Chip (SoC) designs.
