Graduate engineering role focused on testing and validating high-speed semiconductor devices through laboratory measurements, test automation, signal-integrity analysis and collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams.Our TeamFancy a career at the sharp end of how the world actually connects? Join an ambitious and collaborative engineering team at the cutting edge of global data communications. Based in Bristol, we work closely with a world-renowned design group to develop advanced semiconductor solutions that power the digital infrastructure of tomorrow.Our culture is open, inclusive, and driven by innovation — and as a graduate joining us, you won't be making the coffee. You'll be in the lab, hands-on, from week one.Job SummaryReady to turn your degree into a career that actually matters? As a Graduate High-Speed Validation Engineer, you'll be trained up to test and validate next-generation semiconductor devices that are shaping the future of global connectivity — the chips inside the networks that move the world's data. No two days will look the same: one week you might be in new product design meetings helping shape how a device gets tested, the next you'll be in the lab taking real measurements on components running at 10Gbit/s and beyond.You'll learn from experienced engineers who genuinely want to see you grow, get hands-on with industry-leading test equipment, and pick up skills — from Python/LabVIEW automation to high-speed signal integrity — that will set you up for a serious engineering career.This is your launchpad. Bring the curiosity and work ethic; we'll bring the mentorship, the kit, and the opportunity.ResponsibilitiesSupport new product design meetings and help develop test approaches for evaluating new productsAssist in building validation solutions for new products — covering software, hardware, and documentationHelp identify the right bench-top test equipment for validating new productsLearn to build test automation software using Python or LabVIEWWork closely with designers, product, test, and applications engineers as part of a genuinely collaborative teamTake part in validation review meetings and contribute your findingsHelp create clear, accurate validation reportsGet hands-on testing high-speed optical components, ICs, and modulesTake high-speed lab measurements on products operating at data rates of 10Gbit/s and aboveBuild your knowledge of high-speed signal integrity, including exposure to schematic entry/layout using Altium PCB toolsMinimum QualificationsBSc/MSc in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (EE/ECE) or a closely related discipline0–2 years' relevant experience — this role is designed for recent graduates ready to build their career in high-speed validationA genuine curiosity for electronics, test, and measurement, and a willingness to learn fastAble to stay focused and positive in a fast-paced, dynamic R&D environmentA natural team player who enjoys sharing knowledge and asking questionsGood interpersonal and communication skillsStrong self-motivation — comfortable picking up new tools and techniques independentlyAn analytical mindset, attention to detail, and a creative approach to problem-solvingCareer Growth PhilosophyAt Semtech, we believe that innovation starts with people — and that includes the people just starting out. That's why we're committed to empowering your professional development through mentorship, structured learning, and a collaborative, idea-rich environment from day one.Our pay-for-performance culture rewards initiative and celebrates meaningful contributions, no matter how early in your career you are. Join us, and be part of a team that's building the future of connectivity — together.
