Job details
Full job description
Job Overview
We are seeking a graduate in Physics or Electrical Engineering with strong mathematical, analytical and programming skills to support the development of advanced semiconductor photonics, quantum and superconducting technologies.
As a Process Analysis Engineer, you will measure and characterise thin films and semiconductor devices, analyse experimental and manufacturing process data, and develop software to support measurement and analysis. Your work will help the team understand material properties, assess device performance and improve process consistency.
This role would suit a methodical, curious graduate who enjoys practical laboratory work, programming and solving technical problems through data.
Key responsibilities
- Measure and analyse thin films using optical, electronic, profilometric, mechanical and other relevant characterisation techniques.
- Perform optical and electronic measurements on semiconductor devices and interpret the results.
- Analyse raw process data relating to advanced semiconductor photonics and superconductors, identifying trends, variations and relationships between process conditions and measured performance.
- Develop, maintain and improve VB.NET software for measurement, data processing and analysis.
- Develop Python or C# tools for neural network analysis, visualisation and automation where appropriate.
- Assess measurement repeatability, uncertainty and data quality to support reliable conclusions.
- Present findings through clear plots, technical reports and recommendations.
- Work with colleagues in process development, fabrication and device engineering to investigate issues and support improvements.
- Maintain accurate records of measurement methods, analysis procedures and results.
Essential qualifications and skills
- A degree in Physics or Electrical Engineering.
- Strong mathematical and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex datasets and draw evidence-based conclusions.
- Proficiency in VB.NET programming, including the ability to write, debug and maintain code.
- A sound understanding of experimental methods, measurement principles and data analysis.
- A careful, systematic approach to practical work and problem-solving.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accurate, reproducible results.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
- The ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a technical team.
Desirable skills and experience
- Proficiency in Python or C#, particularly for scientific computing, data analysis and visualisation.
- Familiarity with thin-film characterisation, semiconductor devices, photonics and superconducting materials.
- Experience with laboratory instrumentation, automated measurements or data acquisition.
- Knowledge of statistical analysis, uncertainty analysis or process monitoring.
- Relevant experience gained through a university project, dissertation, placement or internship.
Pay: £27,700.00-£59,300.00 per year
