We're recruiting a Senior Electronics Engineer for an established Leicester-based manufacturer of specialist, high-precision engineering equipment.
This is a key position within a highly skilled R&D team, working across electronics, firmware and systems engineering on technically complex, high-value electro-mechanical machinery.
It's an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer who doesn't want to spend their entire week behind a desk. The position combines electronics design and development with hands‑on prototyping, testing, troubleshooting and supporting products throughout their complete lifecycle.
The Role
You'll work cross-functionally across R&D, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering and Software Engineering, with responsibility for:
- Electronic and systems design support across engineering and manufacturing
- Circuit design, PCB design and prototyping
- Hardware and firmware development for microcontroller-based systems
- Applications involving data acquisition, motor control and data communications
- Hands‑on implementation, testing, troubleshooting and fault finding
- Supporting electronic designs through manufacture and assembly
- Interpreting wiring diagrams and electronic schematics
- Product lifecycle support from development through to long‑term in‑service support
- Practical prototyping including cables, soldering and PCB rework
- Technical documentation and ensuring solutions are properly captured
- Occasional travel to customers, suppliers and other business locations
What You’ll Bring
We're looking for someone with:
- 5+ years' industrial electronics experience
- Strong knowledge of electronic control systems
- Analogue and digital electronics
- Circuit and PCB design/prototyping
- Hardware and firmware development for microcontrollers
- Data acquisition, motor control and communications experience
- Ability to interpret wiring diagrams and electronic schematics
- Strong practical fault‑finding ability
- Willingness to remain genuinely hands‑on with electronics
- An HNC/HND/Degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering would be preferred, although equivalent demonstrable industrial experience will also be considered.
Nice to Have
Experience with Altium Designer, SolidWorks, CE/EMC/LVD regulatory compliance, precision instrumentation, product lifecycle engineering or motor control would be advantageous but isn't essential.
What's On Offer
- Early finish every Friday
- Continuous technical training and development
- Support towards professional accreditation
- Genuine long‑term career progression
- Opportunity to work with technically advanced, high‑value equipment
- Free on‑site parking
