OUR STORY

At STMicroelectronics, we believe in the power of technology to drive innovation and make a positive impact on people, businesses, and society. As a global semiconductor company, our advanced technologies and chips form the hidden foundation of the world we live in today.

When you join ST, you will be part of a global business with more than 122 nationalities, present in 40 countries, and comprising over 49,000 diverse and dedicated creators and makers of technology around the world.

Developing technologies takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration and respect. People with passion and the desire to disrupt the status quo, drive innovation, and unlock their own potential.

Embark on a journey with us, where you can innovate for a future that we want to make smarter and greener, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our technology starts with you.

The Team

The Optical Product Packaging & Design team, based in Edinburgh and Singapore, is part of ST’s wider Imaging & Custom subgroup. The team designs and develops precision opto-mechanical assemblies incorporating ST silicon sensors to deliver advanced optical and photonic products.

The Role

As a Thermal-Mechanical Simulation Engineer, you will work closely with the R&D project team to develop products that meet performance, manufacturability, and cost objectives. Using advanced simulation tools, you will perform finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multiphysics studies to identify potential issues early in the development process and to recommend design improvements that enhance product performance and robustness.

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.
