About the role
This is a senior-level R&D electronics design role within a highly collaborative hardware team, focused on developing advanced electronic systems used in regulated medical technology environments. As a Senior or Principal Engineer, you will take technical ownership across key areas of development, influencing architecture, guiding best practice, and supporting the team in delivering high-quality, robust designs. You’ll work across the full product lifecycle—from concept and system definition through to verification, validation, and production—while also shaping the future capability of the group. This role offers the opportunity to deepen your technical expertise, act as a trusted subject matter expert, and mentor others as the team continues to grow and evolve. Hybrid working applies, with an expectation of around three days per week onsite.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading the design and development of analogue, digital and mixed-signal electronic systems from concept through to production
- Defining architectures and making key technical decisions that balance performance, cost, and manufacturability
- Creating schematics, selecting components, and driving design for reliability, compliance, and scalability
- Prototyping, testing, and debugging complex hardware using standard and advanced laboratory equipment
- Contributing deep expertise in low-noise analogue design and high-integrity data acquisition systems
- Collaborating closely with software, systems, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Providing technical leadership in regulated development, including EMC/EMI strategy and risk-based design (e.g. FMEA)
- Leading or contributing significantly to design reviews, ensuring high engineering standards are upheld
- Mentoring and supporting other engineers, fostering knowledge sharing and building long-term team capability
- Driving continuous improvement in engineering practices, tools, and methodologies
What skills and experience you’ll bring
- Extensive experience in analogue and digital electronics design, including complex mixed-signal systems
- A proven track record of delivering end-to-end hardware designs in a commercial or regulated environment (Medical such as IEC60601 is advantageous but not essential)
- Strong hands-on experience in prototyping, testing, debugging, and root cause analysis
- Expertise in schematic capture and PCB design using industry-standard tools (e.g. Mentor Graphics, Altium, KiCad or similar)
- Experience operating within regulated industries such as medical devices, automotive, aerospace, or other safety-critical sectors
- Deep understanding of EMC/EMI principles and pragmatic application of risk-based engineering approaches
- Familiarity with embedded and digital systems (e.g. FPGA, embedded software, IC, SPI, CAN)
- Strong technical judgement, with the ability to guide decisions and influence across disciplines
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable explaining complex concepts to diverse audiences
- A collaborative and inclusive approach, with a passion for mentoring and developing others
- A continuous learning mindset, with the drive to advance both your own expertise and that of the wider team
What’s on offer
- Competitive base salary
- 26 days annual leave, with the option to buy up to 10 days and sell up to 5
- Up to 10% matched pension contributions
- BUPA Private Medical Insurance
- Bonus & Share Save Scheme
- Free to use on site gym
- Two paid volunteering days per year
