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.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

UK Space Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Space Department

The UK space sector is rapidly expanding. With growth in satellite design, Earth observation, communications, launch systems, space science, downstream applications, and regulatory and operational services, there’s rising demand for skilled professionals across many disciplines. Building a high-impact space organisation requires well-defined team structures, clear roles, strong collaboration, and alignment across engineering, science, operations, regulation, and commercial functions. If you are applying for roles via UKSpaceJobs.co.uk or hiring into your company, this guide will help you understand the principal roles you’ll find in a space team, how they interact during mission lifecycles, what skills UK employers expect, salary norms, common challenges, and best practice for structuring space teams that succeed.
