Westray Recruitment Group are seeking to recruit an Electronics Engineer for our client based in Northallerton.
WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?
- Permanent role – full time
- £40k circa
- Monday to Friday working hours (early finish on Friday)
- Long-term career progression within a growing engineering business
- Opportunity to work across a varied product portfolio and technically challenging projects
- Hands-on role offering exposure to product support, NPI, design modifications and manufacturing engineering
- Stable employment within a long-established, quality-driven organisation
- Collaborative team environment with genuine opportunities to influence engineering improvements
- Supportive management and ongoing professional development
THE BUSINESS
We’re working with a long-established UK electronics manufacturer (60+ years in business) who are looking to bring in an Electronics Engineer to strengthen their engineering capability across manufacturing and product lifecycle support.
This isn’t a pure design role.
In fact, design work is only a small part of the job.
Instead, you’ll be working closely with production and engineering teams to keep real-world products running, buildable and reliable.
You’ll be joining a stable, long-established manufacturer with a strong engineering culture and a growing workload.
This is a chance to step into a role where your engineering input directly affects how products are built, tested and delivered.
THE ROLE
As Electronics Engineer, you will provide practical engineering support across a broad range of electronic products, ensuring designs remain reliable, manufacturable and fully supported throughout their lifecycle. You will incorporate Manufacturing, NPI and Product Support.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting electronic products through manufacture and their full lifecycle
- Solving production and test issues when builds don’t go to plan
- Supporting NPI and getting new products into production
- Handling component obsolescence and sourcing replacements
- Making engineering changes to improve manufacturability
- Fault-finding analogue and digital electronics issues
- Supporting test, validation and root cause analysis
- Working closely with shop floor and engineering teams
THE PERSON
We are looking for an engineer who combines solid technical knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach.
You will ideally have:
- Degree qualification in Electronics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
- Previous experience in an Electronics Engineer or similar engineering position beyond graduate level
- Strong understanding of analogue and digital electronics
- Experience working with microcontrollers and programmable devices such as Microchip, Atmel or similar platforms
- Familiarity with PCB design and engineering software such as EasyPC, KiCad, AutoCAD, SolidWorks or equivalent
- Experience supporting products through manufacture, testing, NPI or product lifecycle activities
- Strong practical fault-finding and problem-solving skills
- Ability to prioritise work and manage multiple engineering tasks effectively
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work collaboratively across engineering and manufacturing teams
- A proactive attitude with the ability to work independently when required
It would be advantageous if you also have experience with:
- Engineering change management
- Component obsolescence and alternative part selection
- High-reliability or regulated manufacturing environments
- Aerospace, defence, industrial electronics, instrumentation, oil & gas or ATEX applications
- Quality-led manufacturing, traceability, testing and IPC standards
You’ll likely already be working in one of these environments:
- Electronics manufacturing / EMS / contract manufacturing
- Aerospace, defence, oil & gas, ATEX or instrumentation
- Industrial or high-reliability electronics
You’ll be someone who enjoys:
- Practical engineering, not just design work
- Being close to production and real hardware
- Solving problems others can’t
- Taking ownership of technical issues
Above all, you'll be someone who enjoys practical engineering, takes pride in producing quality work and thrives within a collaborative SME environment where no two days are the same.
