- Tasks: Design and develop cutting-edge electronics from schematic to manufacturing.
- Company: Join a dynamic team focused on innovative electronic solutions.
- Benefits: Competitive salary, flexible working hours, and opportunities for professional growth.
- Other info: Ideal for problem solvers who thrive in a collaborative and evolving workspace.
- Why this job: Be part of a fast-paced environment where your ideas can shape the future.
- Qualifications: 5+ years in electronics design, strong PCB skills, and hands-on experience.
You will own the electronics from schematic and PCB design through bring-up, testing, certification and manufacturing. You will work across analogue, digital, power, wireless and safety-critical electronics, including gas-control circuitry, while working closely with software, engineering, suppliers and manufacturing.
What you will own:
- Schematics and multi-layer PCB layout in Altium
- Analogue and power design, including high-voltage circuits, protection and drivers
- Safety-critical gas ignition and flame-sensing circuitry
- High-speed interfaces including Ethernet, HDMI, LVDS, USB and SDIO
- Bluetooth/Wi-Fi integration and antenna layout
- SoM and MCU selection
- Thermal, EMC, grounding and signal-integrity design
- DFM/DFT, production test fixtures and automation
- BOMs, wiring diagrams and cable harnesses
- Prototyping, soldering, rework, board bring-up and debugging
- Supplier relationships and certification evidence
Who we are looking for:
You will ideally have 5+ years' experience taking electronics from design through to certified, manufactured boards. You will bring:
- Strong schematic and multi-layer PCB design experience, ideally Altium
- Strong analogue and power electronics skills
- High-voltage and safety-critical circuit experience
- High-speed digital design and signal-integrity knowledge
- DFM/DFT and production test experience
- BOM, wiring and harness experience
- Hands-on prototyping, soldering, rework and board bring-up
- Strong fault-finding and root-cause debugging skills
A 2:1 or above degree in electronics, electrical engineering or a related discipline is preferred, although exceptional candidates without this background will be considered.
What you will know:
Ideally, you will also have experience with:
- Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antenna integration and radio compliance
- SoM/MCU selection
- EMC and grounding
- Thermal management
- Safe high-voltage/mains working
- Electronics certification and compliance
- Production test and manufacturing requirements
The person behind the experience:
We are looking for someone who wants to join early and help build something. You will be comfortable in a fast-moving environment where processes are still being developed. You will take ownership, solve problems from first principles, get hands-on with hardware and care about getting things right. You will not wait for someone else to solve a problem. You will find the root cause, make a decision and get it done.
