I am excited to be working on a new opportunity for a Senior Analog IC Layout Engineer to join a team based in Southampton that specialises in designing and manufacturing world-class infrared imaging products.

These innovative products are utilised in applications such as remote sensing, thermal imaging, and border surveillance, making this role critical to advancing technology in these fields.

Working within the Analog/Mixed Signal IC design team, the Senior Analog IC Layout Engineer will be working at transistor level where you will translate schematic designs into Layout solutions to achieve the specification and project schedule. You will have a clear understanding of Layout best practices and will have the ability to complete bespoke Analog/Mixed Signal and Digital Layout designs in CMOS technology.

Experience is required in some or all of the following:

DRC and LVS
Top Level Verification
Experience working on 40nm and below
Cadence IC design suite of tools.
Analog/Mixed Signal and/or Digital IC design skills/knowledge
Parasitic extraction and evaluation
Layout of block level designs from scratch, working on schematic capture and simulation of the designs
Image Sensor/Pixel Design experience (ideal)

Industry degree qualified, the successful Senior Analog IC Layout Engineer will have 5 years minimum experience in a similar position. Experience leading more junior members of the team would be of interest.

A generous array of benefits are on offer including flexible working, a generous holiday allowance and an extremely strong pension plan.

UK Space Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche reserved for astronauts and rocket scientists. It is a broad, fast-growing industry covering satellites, Earth observation, navigation, telecoms, space data, launch services, space sustainability and defence-related capability. That breadth creates genuine career opportunities for professionals switching careers in their 30s, 40s or 50s — especially in roles where delivery, quality, operations, safety, regulation and customer outcomes matter as much as pure engineering. This article gives you a UK reality check: what space jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills UK employers value, how long retraining tends to take and whether age is a barrier (usually far less than people fear).

How to Write a Space Industry Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

The UK space sector is growing rapidly. From satellite manufacturing and launch services to Earth observation, space data, communications and downstream applications, organisations across the UK are hiring engineers, scientists, software specialists and operations professionals to support increasingly complex space missions. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Space industry job adverts often receive very few applications, or attract candidates whose experience does not align with the realities of space programmes. At the same time, experienced space professionals frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, over-ambitious or disconnected from how space projects actually operate. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Space professionals are systems-focused, risk-aware and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak programme maturity and unrealistic expectations. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, technical seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a space industry job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the UK space sector.

Maths for Space Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

UK space careers can look intimidating from the outside. Job adverts mention “systems engineering” “mission assurance” “GN&C” “RF” “payloads” “flight dynamics” “verification” “ECSS” & suddenly you’re wondering if you need a maths degree just to apply. You don’t. For most UK space jobs, the maths you actually use clusters into a handful of practical topics that map directly to real work across satellites, launch, ground segment, downstream data, mission ops & space software. This article strips it down to what matters most for job readiness plus a 6-week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can use immediately. UK space is also actively focused on growth & skills. The government’s National Space Strategy sets ambitions to grow the UK’s space ecosystem & spread employment across the UK. The Space Sector Skills Survey 2023 highlights recruitment challenges plus the importance of new skills & technologies including AI & ML. Recent industry reporting also estimates UK space industry employment at 55,550 FTEs plus wider supply-chain jobs. So learning the right maths is not an academic exercise. It’s a practical way to widen the roles you can credibly target.
