    Description

    MMIC Layout Engineer | GaN / Compound Semiconductors | SC-Eligible


    North East England | On-site – 1–2 days home working | Competitive + Bonus + Relocation


    This is a new position for an MMIC Layout Engineer to strengthen the link between circuit design, device physics, and manufacturing. You'd be joining a leading compound semiconductor company expanding its GaN technology platforms across RF and power applications.

    It's a hands‑on role in a manufacturing‑led environment, where layout decisions directly affect RF performance, thermal behaviour, yield, and long‑term reliability.

    The role

    • Produce MMIC layouts for GaN and compound semiconductor processes from schematic and design intent
    • Apply and feedback on PDK design rules driven by thermal, breakdown, and reliability limits
    • Create arrayed die and full reticle layouts for mask manufacture
    • Prepare and release mask data to fabrication partners
    • Support design and mask reviews prior to fab release
    • Maintain and update Process Control Monitor (PCM) and test structures
    • Support technology development masks and experimental process splits
    • Work closely with Device and Process Engineering on layout structures impacting RF performance and lifetime
    • Track process updates and ensure layouts remain aligned to current manufacturing capability

    Key knowledge and experience

    • Degree in Electronics, Physics, or similar
    • Strong CAD and physical layout experience
    • Understanding of how layout impacts RF behaviour, breakdown, and thermal performance
    • Familiarity with manufacturing release flows and documentation standards
    • Exposure to RF, MMIC, GaN, or other III–V technologies is strongly beneficial
    • Strong silicon layout engineers with RF interest and willingness to learn compound processes will be considered

    What's on offer

    • Competitive salary with relocation support
    • Long‑term investment strategy in GaN and RF technology platforms
    • High levels of technical ownership and real product impact
    • Good progression within a scaling company
