Top Design Engineer Jobs in Bristol

Design and simulate transistor-level analog/mixed-signal IC blocks (amplifiers, converters, power circuits), define architectures, integrate blocks into mixed-signal systems, present results to teams/customers, support layout, lab evaluation and test, mentor others, and improve design methodologies to meet power, timing and functional objectives.

Design, develop and validate automated assembly and test systems from concept to production. Create test rigs, tooling and software (C#, LabVIEW, SQL, VBA), integrate sensors and motion control, analyse process data, produce validation documentation, and support NPI, procurement and continuous improvement activities across multidisciplinary teams.

The Lead Physical Design Engineer will manage IC physical design implementations from synthesis to sign-off, leading a team and collaborating across functions to optimize performance and manufacturability while mentoring others in the process.

Provide engineering support for current products in manufacturing and service; investigate and resolve product failures; lead continuous improvement, design optimisation, and engineering change processes; support quality, compliance, FMEAs, and root-cause investigations to improve reliability, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturing efficiency.

As a Physical Design Engineer, you will implement complex IC designs, optimize PPA metrics, and ensure design integrity while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Design and develop mechanical components and electromechanical assemblies from concept through pre-production. Create 3D CAD, engineering drawings, perform structural and thermal FEA, develop test rigs and validation programmes, define requirements and risks, apply DFM/DFA, GD&T and PPAP, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to produce manufacturable, IP-rich solutions.

The SoC/ASIC Design Verification Engineer will verify silicon design in security-sensitive settings, engage with customers, and develop verification collateral for secure silicon.

Design and maintain data models and Databricks pipelines to support change control and as-built configuration. Develop Databricks SQL/Python solutions and Power BI dashboards, align business requirements with reporting, liaise with IT stakeholders, and support team upskilling toward data-centric ways of working.

Lead design and delivery of HV/EHV substations (11kV–400kV) for transmission, distribution and renewables. Client liaison, produce primary substation design deliverables, coordinate multidiscipline teams, apply National Grid/DNO/IEC standards, prepare equipment specifications, manage H&S and CDM design duties, support bids and project delivery to budget, time and quality.

Build production-quality, pixel-accurate UI components and interactions in React Native; prototype in Figma with designers; own the design system and component library; improve performance, animations, and cross-platform UI architecture; define design-to-dev tooling and collaborate across design and engineering.

The Principal Design Engineer will shape AI-powered product experiences, lead design discussions, collaborate with teams, and mentor designers while advancing the design system.

Provide production support and drive design improvements for kinematic spindle probes and accessories. Create and update CAD models and drawings, verify BOMs, manage formal design changes, investigate root causes, lead continuous improvement and cost-reduction projects, and collaborate with manufacturing, quality, electronics and software teams to maintain product quality and reliability.

The Mobile UI/Design Engineer will enhance the Kraken app's UI with fluid, gesture-driven interactions in React Native, optimizing for performance and mentoring other engineers.

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will design energy systems, lead engineering teams, conduct energy audits, and drive technical and commercial innovations.

Lead integration of the Auxiliary Boiler design package across multi-disciplinary teams: define integration strategy, manage 3D model integration and clash detection, coordinate suppliers, maintain BIM/data structures, support contract scopes and technical evaluations, oversee configuration control, track and resolve technical risks, and support design and constructability reviews through construction readiness.

Design and develop miniaturised optical and electro-mechanical products and encoder measurement systems. Create prototypes, run experiments, analyse production data, investigate performance issues, and collaborate with manufacturing to improve assembly and processes.

Lead systems engineering across the product lifecycle: elicit and define requirements, design and integrate electro/thermal/fluid/mechanical systems, develop verification strategies, manage risk, and support validation, production and service for gas-turbine-related subsystems.

Lead scale-up and process improvements for cartridge manufacturing, analyze QC/run data, design tooling and automation, manage change control, support validation and product specifications, liaise with contract manufacturers, drive yield and quality improvements, and lead technical investigations and risk assessments.

Lead verification strategy and execution for complex digital and mixed-signal designs. Architect UVM/SystemVerilog environments, develop advanced test benches, define coverage metrics, lead debug and post-silicon validation, mentor junior engineers, and drive methodology improvements while collaborating with design teams and customers.

Provide technical leadership for polymer component design and analysis, interfacing with customers and cross-functional teams. Lead design proposals, generate/approve drawings and test/validation plans, perform failure analysis, support material disposition and continuous improvement, mentor junior engineers, and represent the company in technical meetings and presentations.

Lead end-to-end verification of high-throughput, real-time digital pipelines. Build SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments, assertion-based checks, constrained-random tests, and formal properties. Model algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink or Python, support FPGA prototyping and silicon bring-up, analyze results to drive fixes, and collaborate across digital, optical, mixed-signal, and software teams. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to verification methodology and documentation.

The role involves designing, implementing, and verifying DFT strategies for digital pipelines, collaborating across teams, and mentoring junior engineers.

The Staff Engineer leads analog and mixed-signal block design, conducts design reviews, mentors junior engineers, and develops methodologies for advanced technology applications.

Support new product development by embedding quality into design, development, verification, validation, and launch. Lead quality planning, risk management (DFMEA/PFMEA), verification/validation strategies, design/process reviews, supplier readiness, root cause analysis, and ensure compliance with APQP/PPAP and internal QMS to drive continuous improvement.
