Senior/Staff NPI Engineer

Senior & Staff Level NPI Product Engineer roles

Bristol (Hybrid – 4 days onsite Mon–Thurs)

Salary: depending on experience (competitive), plus 20% bonus and great benefits package

I’m working with a high-growth semiconductor company developing advanced analog/mixed-signal and optical technologies used in next-generation connectivity systems.

They’re building out their NPI/Product Engineering capability and are looking for 2 engineers, someone who wants to take real ownership across the full product lifecycle - not just sit in a single function.

The role

This is a genuinely end-to-end product engineering position, supporting new silicon from early concept through to high-volume production and beyond.

They’ll be working closely with design, test, validation and operations teams, helping to shape how products are tested, characterised and ultimately manufactured at scale.

It’s a strong opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond pure test or validation and develop into a well-rounded product engineer.

What they’ll be doing

• Supporting new product introduction from concept through to production release
• Contributing to test strategy, DfT and ATE development
• Driving product characterisation across PVT and validating datasheet performance
• Analysing data to define test limits, improve yield and optimise test time
• Supporting manufacturing ramp, yield improvement and failure analysis
• Collaborating cross-functionally to ensure smooth transfer into production

What they’re looking for

• Background in semiconductor engineering (product, test, validation or design)
• Understanding of analog/mixed-signal ICs
• Experience or exposure to ATE and/or lab-based characterisation
• Strong data analysis mindset (Excel, JMP or similar)
• An interest in how products move from development into manufacturing

Why this role stands out

• Full visibility across the product lifecycle - not siloed
• Strong technical mentorship and development into a true product owner
• Exposure to complex yield, test and manufacturing challenges
• Collaborative, high-performance engineering environment
• Opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies with real-world impact

If they’re someone who enjoys understanding the whole system, not just their piece of it, this is the kind of role that can accelerate their career quickly.
