Ever wanted your circuit designs to end up thousands of feet underground, doing a job nothing else can? We're recruiting on behalf of a global leader in the innovation and development of wireless subsurface communication technology, used by energy companies around the world during exploration and production. Since the late 1980s, this business has stayed at the forefront of its niche, and its Dorset-based Research Centre is where the next generation of that technology gets designed, tested, and proven.
This is a genuinely hands-on role in a small, close-knit, multidisciplinary R&D team. You won't be a cog in a huge machine, you'll be one of a handful of engineers whose fingerprints are on every product that leaves the building.
What is in it for you:
- Salary up to £70,000, depending on experience
- 33 days holiday, rising with long service, plus long-service awards
- Private healthcare, life insurance, and strong company pension contributions
- A culture built on teamwork and genuinely empowering engineers to make a difference
- Real ownership of your designs, from first sketch to field deployment
- Office based with flexibility
What you will be doing:
- Designing electronics for both surface and downhole tools, analysis, schematic capture, and simulation
- Developing and investigating high-reliability components and packaging solutions built to survive extreme environments
- Planning and running qualification testing on new designs and technology
- Writing clear engineering reports, build procedures, and design documentation
- Getting properly hands-on at the bench, debugging, circuit analysis, and validation with a scope and power supply
- Supporting internal teams and external customers on technical queries
To be considered you will have:
- A degree in Electronic Engineering
- A strong grounding in analogue design, instrumentation, and low-noise techniques
- Solid, demonstrable experience in electronic design
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the communication skills to match
- Comfortable adapting to a fast-paced, pragmatic development environment
- Low-power electronics design experience
- Experience with IC packaging and test, or high-temperature electronics
- PCB layout experience
