A growing deep-tech company at the forefront of next-generation life science instrumentation is seeking a Lead Electronics Engineer to drive the development of highly sensitive electronic systems used in cutting-edge analytical platforms.
This is an opportunity to join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing advanced sensing technology that is helping transform biological research, diagnostics and drug discovery.
You'll play a key role in shaping the electronics architecture of complex scientific instruments while leading a team of talented engineers through the full product development lifecycle.
The Role
As Lead Electronics Engineer, you will lead and mentor a team of highly skilled engineers responsible for developing precision electronic systems that sit at the heart of advanced sensing and measurement platforms.
You'll remain hands-on technically while providing leadership across electronics development, integration, testing and product delivery.
Working closely with software, mechanical, systems and scientific teams, you will help bring next-generation instrumentation products from concept through to commercialisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a team of electronics engineers working on advanced instrumentation platforms.
- Design and develop low-noise analogue electronics and precision measurement systems.
- Drive PCB architecture, design reviews and system-level electronics decisions.
- Integrate electronic, mechanical and software subsystems into complete instrument solutions.
- Optimise circuit layouts, grounding strategies, shielding and noise mitigation techniques.
- Develop and implement signal processing approaches to maximise signal-to-noise performance.
- Support laboratory automation through the development of electronic and electromechanical systems.
- Lead hardware debugging, verification, validation and root-cause investigations.
- Perform circuit simulation and modelling activities using SPICE and related tools.
- Define requirements, specifications, test methodologies and technical documentation.
- Collaborate with external partners on PCB, semiconductor and manufacturing activities.
- Contribute to technology roadmaps and future product development initiatives.
About You
You will be an experienced electronics engineer with a strong background in precision instrumentation, sensing technologies or high-performance electronic systems.
Equally comfortable leading teams and solving complex technical challenges, you'll thrive in a fast-paced R&D environment where innovation and collaboration are key.
Essential Experience
- Degree, MSc or Ph D in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Strong expertise in analogue electronics and low-noise instrumentation design.
- Experience developing small-signal measurement systems and precision sensing electronics.
- Proven PCB design experience using tools such as Altium, Cadence, Allegro or similar.
- Strong understanding of signal integrity, grounding, shielding, EMC and noise reduction techniques.
- Experience characterising and debugging amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, power supplies and digital interfaces.
- Hands-on experience with laboratory test equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and logic analysers.
- Experience taking products from concept through design, prototyping, testing and system integration.
- Programming capability in C, C++, and/or Python for hardware development and test automation.
- Previous experience leading projects, mentoring engineers or managing technical teams.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Desirable Experience
- Mixed-signal or analogue ASIC development.
- Embedded systems and microcontroller design.
- Sensor development and signal processing.
- Medical devices, life sciences instrumentation or laboratory equipment.
- High-precision measurement and data acquisition systems.
- What's on Offer
Opportunity to lead the development of genuinely innovative technology.
Significant technical ownership and influence over future products.
Collaborative environment combining electronics, software, mechanical engineering and science.
Exposure to cutting-edge sensing and instrumentation technologies.
Modern London-based facilities.
Excellent opportunity to shape products with real-world impact across healthcare, diagnostics and research.
If you're passionate about precision electronics, advanced sensing technologies and leading talented engineering teams, we'd love to hear from you
