Shape the future of semiconductor tools at the forefront of innovation and engineering excellence.
Are you a hands-on, technically minded engineer with deep experience in semiconductor environments? We’re looking for a Principal Engineer to join a leader in cutting-edge PVD and CVD system innovation, based in Scotland.
You’ll be joining an agile team at a key stage in its transformation — evolving from a refurbishment business into a global OEM with a cutting-edge product portfolio. This role is central to driving the next generation of tools, shaping the product roadmap, and ensuring engineering excellence across design, development, and delivery.
Hands-On Engineering – Lead and contribute to detailed design work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
Project Management – Coordinate cross-functional teams and oversee product development projects and improvements.
Strategic Collaboration – Align engineering direction with global stakeholders and market demands.
Documentation & Standards – Maintain high-quality engineering documentation and champion continuous improvement.
Strong experience in the semiconductor industry, particularly with PVD/CVD systems.
Solid understanding of CAD, mechanical/electrical design, and vacuum/control systems.
Comfortable working in lean, agile teams — with ownership, initiative, and adaptability.
Relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical qualifications.
Lead the engineering charge in a fast-evolving OEM environment with global reach.
Shape and influence next-gen semiconductor tools with real-world impact.
Work in a high-trust, agile setting, where your ideas and execution truly matter.
Low travel expectations (~10%) with occasional visits to US sites or customer locations.
