If you're the type of engineer who enjoys taking a concept scribbled on a whiteboard and turning it into a real, manufactured product, this could be worth a look.
We're working with an established Cambridge technology company that develops innovative products for global organisations across a range of high-tech sectors. One project might involve electronics for a complex electromechanical system, the next could see you solving a completely different technical challenge for an international customer.
This isn't a role where you'll spend years making minor updates to a legacy product. Instead, you'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of talented engineers, scientists and designers developing new products from concept through to manufacture. The role would suit an experienced Electronics Engineer who enjoys hands-on product development and embedded software, and is keen to increase their influence on projects whilst remaining technically involved.
What you'll be doing:
- Electronic circuit design and development
- Embedded software development (C/C++)
- Prototyping, testing and problem solving
- Working as part of multidisciplinary product development teams
- Supporting products from concept through to manufacture
- Presenting technical progress internally and to customers
- Increasing involvement in technical leadership and project ownership as your role develops
We'd like to see:
- Commercial experience designing electronic systems
- Embedded software development experience
- Strong practical electronics skills
- Enjoyment of hands-on engineering and problem solving
- Good communication skills and ability to work across disciplines
- A strong academic background in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
Particularly interesting backgrounds:
We're keen to speak with engineers who have developed real products rather than purely theoretical designs. That could include experience within:
- Electronics product development
- Embedded systems
- Medical devices
- Instrumentation
- Scientific equipment
- Robotics
- Industrial electronics
- Consumer products
Why people join:
Engineers who thrive here tend to be curious, practical and enjoy variety. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of technologies, work closely with experienced multidisciplinary teams and have genuine opportunities to influence technical direction whilst continuing to develop your own skills.
Location: Cambridge
Salary: circa £60k - £80k + Bonus + generous benefits
Vacancy Location: Cambridgeshire (Commutable from Peterborough, Cambridge, Northampton, Bedford, St Neots, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, etc)
