Senior Epitaxy Equipment Engineer
£70000 - £104000 + Bonus + Relocation Package + Benefits
UK Relocation & Visa Sponsorship Available
Are you an experienced Semiconductor Equipment Engineer looking to work with some of the most advanced epitaxy technology in the industry?
Whether you're already based in the UK or considering relocating from overseas, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a world-leading semiconductor manufacturer investing heavily in its future.
Our client is expanding rapidly to support a significant increase in customer demand and has made substantial investment in new epitaxy manufacturing equipment. As part of this growth, they are looking to appoint a Senior / Principal Epitaxy Equipment Engineer to provide technical leadership across a highly specialised semiconductor manufacturing operation.
This is far more than a maintenance role. You'll become one of the technical experts responsible for supporting, improving and commissioning cutting-edge semiconductor equipment whilst helping shape the future direction of the engineering function.
International Candidates Welcome
Applications are welcomed from experienced engineers worldwide.
Full relocation assistance and UK Visa sponsorship are available for the successful candidate where required.
The Role
Reporting into the Engineering leadership team, you'll take ownership of critical epitaxy manufacturing equipment, ensuring maximum equipment reliability, uptime and performance within a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment.
Working closely with Manufacturing, Process Engineering and external equipment suppliers, you'll support both day-to-day production and longer-term engineering improvement projects.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities include:
- Maintaining, troubleshooting and repairing advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Supporting MOVPE, MOCVD and related epitaxy manufacturing systems.
- Leading equipment reliability and continuous improvement projects.
