Electronics
Immediate Start
Annual Salary
Full-Time
A well-established UK electronics design and manufacturing business is hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of hardware design within its R&D team. They develop advanced sensing and instrumentation products for professional and specialist markets, with design and manufacture kept entirely in-house.
What the role involves
This is a lead-from-the-bench role rather than a management one. You'd own electronic design across products from early concept to production release - analogue, digital, power, video, mixed-signal and embedded - producing schematics, calculations, layout guidance and BOMs, then reviewing and signing off designs against technical, cost, reliability and manufacturability requirements.
Alongside your own design work you'd lead prototype bring-up, board-level debug, integration and verification, feed into architecture decisions on new products, and act as a technical sounding board for less experienced engineers. There's close collaboration with firmware, software, mechanical and production teams, plus involvement in component selection, obsolescence management and supplier engagement.
What they're looking for
Degree or equivalent experience in electronic or electrical engineering
A substantial track record designing hardware for high-performance products - defence, aerospace, industrial, scientific or comparable
Strong across analogue, digital, power and mixed-signal design
Proven experience taking designs through concept, prototype, verification and production release
Strong practical debug skills at board and system level
Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, FPGA interfaces or sensor integration
The judgement and communication skills to guide others and hold design standards
Nice to have: Altium, ruggedised or portable product development, low-power design, EMC and environmental qualification, serial and high-speed interfaces
