About CGD
Making Sustainable Power Electronics Possible
A spin-out of the Cambridge University, Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) is a fabless semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient GaN-based power devices to make greener electronics possible.
The global power semiconductor market is expected to exceed $50BN. In addition to the multi-million seed fund and Series A and now B private investments, CGD has so far successfully secured four projects funded by iUK, BEIS and EU (Penta). The technical and commercial expertise of the CGD team combined with an extensive track record in the power electronics market has been fundamental in early market traction of our proprietary technology.
Bringing Innovation into Everyday Life
The environmental need for solutions to resolve the world's most significant challenges (energy consumption and CO2 emissions) inspires us to contribute to society by preserving nature with energy-efficient power solutions.
With a mindset on pushing the limits of semiconductor (GaN) properties and an outstanding team of worldwide experts leveraging knowledge, IP, and decades of research, we demonstrate technological advancement by developing green solutions for everyday electronics, respecting our planet's natural resources, and creating a more sustainable future for the generations to come.
Why Work for CGD
We Champion Commitment, Celebrate Empowerment, and Reward the Brave.
We are interested in change-makers with a passion for power semiconductors who are willing to explore unconventional ways to meet the company's green agenda.
At CGD, we pride ourselves on putting empowerment and commitment at the core of our company culture. We offer a relaxed yet productive working environment where everybody is valued and respected and becomes part of commercial success while experiencing professional growth.
If your heart beats for innovation, challenge, and growth, and if the prospect of joining a friendly and game-changing company is for you, we want to hear from you.
The Opportunity
CGD are looking for a Senior/Principal Power Device R&D Engineer to join our growing engineering team. You will principally be the technical lead of development projects of the newest GaN power devices and ICs. These projects are highly multi-disciplinary. You will work with project managers, power device engineers, analog IC designers, packaging engineers and many more. You will be involved in R&D projects through their full life cycle from concept to market entry and beyond.
In this role, you will be able to develop and use your knowledge of a variety of aspects of semiconductor device development at the forefront of GaN device R&D.
The outcome of your work will be novel GaN power products entering the market.
This role is based at the company's office and lab in Cambridge, UK, although it is expected that some travel will be required from time to time for this role.
