Job Description

Redline Group has recently been engaged by a leading engineering company based in Manchester. Due to recent project wins, they are now looking to recruit an experienced Electronic Design Engineer to join their dynamic design team.

The company fosters a collaborative culture where engineers work together to solve engineering problems and find optimal solutions. They seek like-minded engineers who can add value to the team.

The company currently operates a hybrid working arrangement: 3 days onsite and 2 days from home, with everyone in the office on Wednesdays.

The company designs and manufactures electronic sensors and components for the global automation market. They are looking for an Electronic Design Engineer with strong analogue design skills and some firmware development experience using embedded C or C++.

Key responsibilities of the Electronic Design Engineer:

1. Design and development of barriers for connection between intrinsically safe circuits and non-intrinsically safe circuits.
2. Circuit design, prototyping, verification, and testing.
3. Specification of design components and creation of circuit schematics in CAD.
4. Creation of Intrinsic Safety and EMC plans to meet relevant standards.
5. Verification testing of prototypes and review of PCB layouts.

Key skills required:

• Excellent understanding of electronic/engineering principles and analogue and digital circuit design experience.
• Knowledge of EMC and functional safety requirements.
• Experience with Op-Amp circuits, low power/signal transformers, and small signal SMPS is advantageous.
• Software programming experience, especially in embedded C or C++, is beneficial.
• Knowledge or experience in process control automation, instrumentation, or relevant legislation (ATEX, Low Voltage, EMC directives) would be advantageous.

This role is ideal for someone with a genuine interest in analogue electronics and a solid understanding of fundamental electronic design principles.

This is a great opportunity to join a successful and stable business with potential for long-term career progression. The location in Manchester offers easy accessibility, and proximity to the Peak District provides a balance of city and rural life.
