About CGD
Making Sustainable Power Electronics Possible
A spin-out of the Cambridge University, Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) is a fabless semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient GaN-based power devices to make greener electronics possible.
The global power semiconductor market is expected to exceed $50BN. In addition to the multi-million seed fund and Series A and now B private investments, CGD has so far successfully secured four projects funded by iUK, BEIS and EU (Penta). The technical and commercial expertise of the CGD team combined with an extensive track record in the power electronics market has been fundamental in early market traction of our proprietary technology.
Bringing Innovation into Everyday Life
The environmental need for solutions to resolve the world’s most significant challenges (energy consumption and CO2 emissions) inspires us to contribute to society by preserving nature with energy-efficient power solutions.
With a mindset on pushing the limits of semiconductor (GaN) properties and an outstanding team of worldwide experts leveraging knowledge, IP, and decades of research, we demonstrate technological advancement by developing green solutions for everyday electronics, respecting our planet’s natural resources, and creating a more sustainable future for the generations to come.
Why Work for CGD
We Champion Commitment, Celebrate Empowerment, and Reward the Brave.
We are interested in change-makers with a passion for power semiconductors who are willing to explore unconventional ways to meet the company’s green agenda.
At CGD, we pride ourselves on putting empowerment and commitment at the core of our company culture. We offer a relaxed yet productive working environment where everybody is valued and respected and becomes part of commercial success while experiencing professional growth.
If your heart beats for innovation, challenge, and growth, and if the prospect of joining a friendly and game-changing company is for you, we want to hear from you.
The Opportunity
CGD are looking for an experienced Analog IC Design Engineer to join the team. As part of the growing engineering team, you will be responsible for developing new GaN Power IC solutions. In this role, you will be able to develop and use your knowledge of a variety of aspects of semiconductor device development at the forefront of GaN device R&D.
This role is based at the company’s office and lab in Cambridge, UK, although it is expected that some travel will be required from time to time for this role.

We believe in equal opportunities
It takes a diverse and inclusive community of passionate, talented and committed people to build a system to shape the future of power electronics.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.
We believe that a more inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together, ensures better outcomes for all employees. We aspire to have a diverse workforce because, in our view, diversity enables better business outcomes. From application to interview, we place inclusion at the heart of all we do.
Studies have shown that women tend to apply to jobs if they meet all, or almost all, of the requirements whereas men apply even if they meet only some of the requirements. If that sounds like you then please apply and we’ll provide feedback.
We are well set up for collaborative hybrid working, with some members of the team working in the UK office and some from home in the UK and other cities in Europe and Asia.

Designs energy-efficient GaN power devices
Cambridge GaN Devices designs GaN-based power semiconductors and outsources manufacturing as a fabless company. Its ICeGaN family uses enhancement-mode GaN transistors that run with standard silicon gate drivers and include on-chip logic and protection, delivering a single-chip solution with up to 50% lower power losses than silicon; the H2 series adds an on-chip circuit for better light-load and no-load efficiency. It stands out by prioritizing easy integration (no special circuitry or negative voltages) and offering a product roadmap from consumer electronics to data centers and EV powertrains, with Combo ICeGaN modules that pair GaN HEMTs with traditional IGBTs for high-power needs. The goal is to enable more energy-efficient power conversion to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions across electronics, data centers, industry, and mobility.
