Associate Electronics PCB Design Engineer

Job Title: Associate Electronics PCB Design Engineer Ref. 956

Salary awarded is based on skills assessment at interview.

This role is available full-time for 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, or part-time with a minimum of 28 hours per week. Flexible or compressed working hours available.

• Further qualifications in electrical/electronic or mechanical engineering, equivalent to/or a 2:2 or higher relevant Degree.
• Experience in electronic schematic capture and PCB design.
• Experience with RF design, EMC, and signal integrity.
• A good understanding of PCB manufacturing processes.

Your Personal Skills

You will be the type of person who:

• Is keen to learn and improve both technical and non-technical skills.
• Enjoys working with other engineers, combining collective knowledge to produce better results.
• Likes seeing projects through to completion, demonstrating drive and commitment to high standards.
• Enjoys thinking of innovative solutions to challenging problems.
• Can manage your workload and adapt to changing demands.

Using your diverse skills, you will:

• Design, develop, and document electronic PCB systems to high standards.
• Verify designs through testing and peer reviews.
• Support products and investigate reported defects.
• Contribute to library parts creation and management.
• Participate in project planning and meetings.
