Are you an Electronic or Electrical Engineer who enjoys turning complex technical requirements into reliable, practical test solutions?
My client is a specialist centre of excellence for semiconductor device analysis. I am looking for a Test Development Engineer to design, develop and implement testing for semiconductor devices, including ESD, Latch-up and Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) testing.
Reporting to the Technical Director, you will combine electronic circuit design, automated test development, hands-on laboratory testing and customer-facing technical support.
THE ROLE
You will:
- Interpret semiconductor pin-list data and package drawings to develop appropriate test programs
- Develop automated ESD, Latch-up and TLP test routines
- Design supporting hardware, including test fixture PCBs and specialist power supplies
- Create and implement I-V curve-tracing programs
- Conduct testing safely and in accordance with established procedures
- Analyse results and discuss findings and next steps directly with customers
- Prepare clear technical reports and detailed test data
- Recommend additional testing to investigate unexpected results and support device re-spin activity
- Help develop new testing methods and services
- Contribute to continual improvement within an ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 environment
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.
