Permanent

We are currently recruiting for an Electronics Hardware Engineer to join a specialist engineering organisation developing advanced electronic systems for highly technical applications.

This role has come about due to continued growth and will see you join a small, highly capable engineering team responsible for the full lifecycle of electronic hardware development.

The Role:

You will be responsible for the design, development and testing of complex electronic hardware, working across the full product lifecycle from initial requirements through to production and ongoing support.

Working closely with the wider engineering team, you will translate system and hardware requirements into fully functioning electronic designs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Schematic capture and design of analogue and digital hardware
• Design and layout of multi-layer PCBs
• Testing, fault finding and debugging of electronic hardware
• Development of firmware and support of FPGA design
• Supporting the full product lifecycle including design, development and production
• Development of test processes and equipment
• Investigation and resolution of technical issues
• Creation of design and technical documentation
• Supporting through-life product maintenance and obsolescence management

About You:

• Degree qualified in Electronic Engineering or similar (2:1 or above)
• Demonstrable experience in electronic hardware design
• Strong understanding of both analogue and digital systems
• Hands-on experience with testing and fault finding
• Strong communication skills and ability to work within a team
• Self-motivated with a proactive approach to learning and development

Desirable Experience:

• FPGA design (VHDL)
• Experience with Intel Quartus or similar toolchains
• Embedded software development (C/C++)
• PCB design using tools such as Altium Designer
• Experience with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, RS232, RS485, Ethernet)
• Experience taking designs through to production (DFT, testing, validation)

Additional Information:

This role will require regular on-site presence due to the nature of hardware development and access to specialist equipment.
