Senior Electronics Design Engineer in Stevenage

Who are Ripcord Designs?

You may not have heard of us, and that\’s understandable. As a behind-the-scenes consultancy, we often don’t get the chance to highlight the interesting projects we work on. However, if you\’re interested in diverse and engaging work and can\’t decide between pursuing IoT, medical devices, or even robotics, then a consultancy might be the perfect fit for your engineering curiosity. Our team consists of experienced software and electronics engineers who play vital roles in every aspect of the product design cycle.

Why we need you.

We are a growing company and are looking for dynamic engineers who want to advance their careers and their knowledge in electronics design. If you want to be part of a hands-on team, then we could use a good engineer to help us deliver quality, interesting products.

Wanted: Problem Solvers with Strong Communication Skills

Problem solvers. Are you someone who loves engineering and solving problems? Do you have good communication skills? If you like discussing engineering concepts and can ask questions effectively, both in writing and verbally, with clients, we want to hear from you. Learning is important to us, and we always aim to help our team learn. We value engineers who say that they don’t know something when they don’t know it – they can learn. We value engineers who ask questions when they are stuck- this happens. We need engineers who like working as part of a team with other senior engineers. We value independence. If you know how to do something, go for it and get on with it independently.
