The Design Coordinator will manage design schedules, ensure alignment with project timelines, and facilitate communication between project and design teams, addressing client requests and health/safety regulations effectively.

Provide hands-on design support across manufacturing and production: design jigs, fixtures, tooling; produce and maintain accurate engineering drawings; resolve technical issues; support QA, procurement and test activities; maintain configuration control and promote safe working practices.

Develop RTL for digital blocks, perform lint/CDC analysis and DFT support, assist in writing functional tests and simple UVM components, collaborate on verification and coverage closure, support AMS co-simulation and mixed-signal integration, and work with physical design on synthesis and timing.

Lead coordination and technical assurance of multi-disciplinary design for complex utilities and renewables projects. Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory frameworks, manage design delivery to scope, programme and budget, develop integrated design programmes, mitigate risks at live asset interfaces, and collaborate with project, commercial and construction stakeholders.

Lead and scale a distributed Product Design and UX Research team, drive AI-augmented design workflows, architect agentic and Zero-UI experiences, evolve the global design system, partner cross-functionally to translate complex compliance and payroll data into intuitive user flows, and establish responsible AI and data privacy design principles.

The Senior Proposal Engineer leads the bidding process for complex projects, manages proposal preparation, evaluates bids, and coordinates handover after contract award.

Assist with apparel design and product development tasks: trend research, mood boards, tech packs, sample measurement/making, supplier communication, and event/marketing support while building a digital portfolio. Gain hands-on experience using industry design tools and production planning under supervision.

Design high-impact motion graphics, animated ads, Lottie and Rive animations, and interactive motion projects for global brands. Collaborate with account teams across time zones, manage multiple projects on time and budget, support creative leads, explore motion innovations and AI-enhanced tools, and help evolve Superside's motion capabilities.

Lead design for the Seven Bridges Platform: own user journeys, build and maintain a design system (tokens, components), review prototypes, manage and grow designers, design AI-assisted experiences, collaborate with front-end engineers, use product analytics to prioritize experience debt, and represent design in leadership strategy.

Manage design processes and teams, oversee financial and contractual obligations, mentor junior staff, and ensure quality and compliance in design outputs.

Support development and continuous improvement of data products for electricity transmission network planning and operations. Define roadmaps, manage backlogs, gather requirements, validate data quality and lineage, collaborate with stakeholders and delivery teams, enable analytics and governance, and measure product performance and adoption.

Lead customer-facing technical efforts to drive adoption of the Virtuoso platform for custom analog and FinFET layouts. Build SKILL utilities, create test schematics/layouts, author PRSs, validate features with PV, deliver demos/RAKs, train sales/pre-sales, and collect structured customer feedback to guide R&D and product improvements.

The Senior Research Partner at Maze collaborates with teams to integrate user research into product development, leading customer engagements and providing best practices in UX Research.

Lead and grow a regional lab transformation consultancy team to design and optimise diagnostic solutions. Define methodologies, manage project portfolio and resources, liaise with senior stakeholders, drive change management, mitigate risk, and deliver executive dashboards and commercial proposals to meet strategic objectives.

The role involves developing technology concepts, designing transistor-level circuits, performing silicon validation, and analyzing data to drive innovation in IC design.

Lead ASIC physical design activities from RTL to GDS including synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, CTS, timing optimization, extraction, physical verification, EMIR signoff, and IP integration. Drive automation with Python/Tcl/Bash, debug physical-design challenges, and collaborate closely with architecture, RTL, and verification teams to deliver multi-core in-memory compute SoCs.
