What defines us

Here at Cirrus Logic, we pride ourselves on our practices that aim to provide a great work/life balance and believe this is a large part of what makes our culture unique. We encourage employees to take time every month to enjoy company happy hours with their colleagues, but we also give them the opportunity to share events with loved ones by offering plus ones to our Date Nights and Holiday parties. We create a family environment for our employees with our ‘Cirrus Logic Kids Club’ and family events, and we even have our own mascot - Chip! We want our employees’ family members to know that we appreciate the work our employees do and want them all to have a sense of belonging within our organisation.

 We work extremely hard to create an office environment that is unique and aligned with our culture. We aim to always invest our capital back into our people to ensure that they are proud of where they work. We have new state-of-the-art facilities in the UK with modern working environments. Employees have sit/stand desks, and casual meeting/work spaces have been implemented across the offices. We also have a number of unique wellness areas including a jam room and free guitar lessons, games rooms and quarterly pool night competitions, onsite gyms with fitness classes and zen rooms to host on-site massage. Ultimately, our working environment allows our employees the space required to reflect, collaborate and create!

Application tips

Is Cirrus Logic the coolest semiconductor company on the planet? We like to think so, but why don't you check us out and see for yourself?

We <3 engineers. They are our innovators, our problem solvers, the ones creating the products you use every day - and the products you don’t even know about yet!

But engineers aren’t robots, and sometimes they need a little TLC. So, at Cirrus Logic we think creatively, go that extra mile, to build a work environment that helps employees do great work and develop a great career. Building great products for the world’s greatest companies. Working hard and having fun. Giving back to our community and treating each family as part of our bigger family. That’s who we are.

Beyond technical skills, we look for individuals who can demonstrate that they share the characteristics or achievements that are consistent with our core values, including such traits as accountability, acting with a sense of urgency, customer focused, commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, strong communication skills and integrity. We seek individuals with a strong work ethic and who demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement, to improve processes and create a better work structure and business environment. We want people who collaborate well in a team setting and put team goals ahead of all else.

Our great workplace

Our thorough recruitment process is subject to continuous review to ensure that our procedures and processes align with our recruitment requirements. Our methodology behind the interview/selection process is to get the best out of the candidates so that we can make a qualified decision – not only to determine whether they have the desired technical skills but are also a good fit within our company culture.

Our open-communication and highest standards of ethics mean that we foster a safe, open environment that celebrates individuality and collaboration. Our equal and open culture is reflected in our interview process; we want to recognise that your behaviours fulfil that company ethos we strive for.
