Zeiss is a German optics and optoelectronics group founded in Jena in 1846 that is owned by a foundation rather than by shareholders, which frees it to invest on very long horizons. Its most strategically important business supplies the optical systems inside extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, without which leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing would not be possible, and it also makes surgical and diagnostic ophthalmic equipment, spectacle lenses, industrial measurement systems, microscopes and camera optics. Headquartered in Oberkochen with a large site in Jena, the group employs tens of thousands of people and spends an unusually high share of revenue on research.

Graphcore is a British semiconductor company founded in Bristol in 2016 that designs the Intelligence Processing Unit, a processor architected specifically for machine learning rather than adapted from graphics. Its chips place large amounts of memory directly on the die and expose fine-grained parallelism, an approach aimed at sparse and irregular models that map poorly onto conventional accelerators. The company sells IPU systems and the Poplar software stack to research and enterprise customers, and has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank Group since its acquisition in 2024.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

120 of the 120 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most chip and hardware engineers?

Graphcore (40), Arm Holdings (27), Fractile (6), AMD (5), Renesas Electronics (5).

Which roles count here?

Every hardware, chip design, embedded, electrical and semiconductor process role at any employer, and the engineering, science, technician and IT roles of the semiconductor companies - chip designers, fabs and foundries, equipment makers, photonics. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
