Job description

Salary: £48,000 - £58,000 + Benefits (including 5% annual bonus)

KO2's client is looking for an experienced Electronics Engineer to join their product development team in Rugby. This is a hands-on role covering the full product lifecycle — from schematic design and component selection through to PCB layout, firmware development, prototype testing, and production support.

You'll be working on innovative electronic solutions from concept through to production, combining strong analogue/digital hardware design skills with embedded C/C++ firmware development. This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys ownership of a project end-to-end, working closely with suppliers, the wider development team, and production.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing innovative electronic solutions, including full lifecycle work from schematic and component selection through to PCB layout and prototype testing, in line with design specifications
• Developing embedded C/C++ firmware for PIC, NXP or similar microcontrollers, including examining and understanding existing deployed firmware to provide bug fixes with minimal risk
• Documenting technical solutions and processes, including capturing requirements for new product developments and generating in-depth specifications from minimal source material
• Managing BOM data for new and existing products within the ERP system
• Proving functional design across both firmware and hardware, including designing and implementing production testing solutions (production tester firmware/software and hardware rigs)
• Contributing to Safety/EMC compliance activities as part of product testing and certification
• Coordinating with the development team and liaising with suppliers to transfer solutions into production

What they're looking for:

• Degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent
• Several years’ experience in a similar electronics engineer role
• Analog and digital circuit design
• Schematic capture and PCB Layout
• Embedded Coding in C
• Good knowledge of regulatory compliance requirements

What's on offer:

• Salary of £48,000 - £58,000, depending on experience
• 5% annual bonus
• Additional benefits package

If you're an electronics engineer who enjoys working across the full product lifecycle — from concept and schematic design through to firmware and production — and you're looking for a role where you can take real ownership of projects, this is well worth exploring.
