A well-established UK electronics design and manufacturing business is hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of hardware design within its R&D team. They develop advanced sensing and instrumentation products for professional and specialist markets, with design and manufacture kept entirely in-house.
What the role involves:
- This is a lead-from-the-bench role rather than a management one.
- You'd own electronic design across products from early concept to production release - analogue, digital, power, video, mixed-signal and embedded - producing schematics, calculations, layout guidance and BOMs, then reviewing and signing off designs against technical, cost, reliability and manufacturability requirements.
- Alongside your own design work you'd lead prototype bring-up, board-level debug, integration and verification, feed into architecture decisions on new products, and act as a technical sounding board for less experienced engineers.
- There’s close collaboration with firmware, software, mechanical and production teams, plus involvement in component selection, obsolescence management and supplier engagement.
What they’re looking for:
- Degree or equivalent experience in electronic or electrical engineering.
- A substantial track record designing hardware for high-performance products - defence, aerospace, industrial, scientific or comparable.
- Strong across analogue, digital, power and mixed-signal design.
- Proven experience taking designs through concept, prototype, verification and production release.
- Strong practical debug skills at board and system level.
- Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, FPGA interfaces or sensor integration.
- The judgement and communication skills to guide others and hold design standards.
Nice to have:
- Altium, ruggedised or portable product development, low-power design, EMC and environmental qualification, serial and high-speed interfaces.
