Job description

This is a rare opportunity for a new or experienced graduate to join an established company developing world-class electronic instrumentation for precision temperature measurement and metrology, with a “fast track” to become the technical lead for the business within a few years when the founder and current technical lead retires. The successful candidate will have a good degree in electronics and be ambitious and keen to learn.

The job involves mixed signal (analogue and digital) design of electronic circuits, PCB layout/design and developing embedded software (using C and C++). Also, selection and sourcing of components, testing of prototypes, design and testing for EMC and other regulatory compliance and production of documentation including user manuals. You will be working with and learning from our experienced lead electronics designer as well as the mechanic design engineers to develop the next generation of instrumentation. As times goes on you will be expected to become the innovator and technical lead for the business, with support from the outgoing founder.

The Company

Metrosol was founded in 2004 and is now recognised as the supplier of the most accurate instrumentation for temperature metrology and precision measurement with instruments capable of measuring down to 30 ppb (0.000003%), equivalent to ±7.5 μK. Metrosol’s achievements were recognised in 2017 when it received a Queen’s award for Enterprise in the Innovation category. In 2019, its work on the development of the world’s first practical Johnson noise thermometer was recognised when the current technical lead (Paul Bramley) received the Callendar medal from the Institute of Measurement and Control.

The company is a micro business with only 6 staff currently on the payroll. However, it collaborates closely with subcontractors and other organisations so that its influence and reach is extensive. In particular, Metrosol collaborates extensively with the UK’s National Physical Laboratory, giving it access to a wide range of technical experts as well as specialised equipment. Metrosol will be acquired in 2025 by our current commercial partner (employing 50+ staff), the leading UK manufacturer of temperature metrology equipment.

Location : Paulerspury, Northamptonshire NN12 6LQ

Salary – competitive (depending on experience) plus benefits including: pension (9% employer contribution), 23 days (increasing to 28 after 10 full service years) + bank holidays, profit sharing bonus, onsite parking.

Hours: 37.5 hours a week - on-site, flexible but nominally Monday- Friday: 8:30am-5pm with 1 hour for lunch
