Electronics Design Engineer

We are seeking a skilled Electronics Design Engineer to join our engineering team, reporting to the Lead Electrical Engineer. The focus of this role is on hardware (80%) with a smaller element of firmware development (20%), and the successful candidate will work on a range of exciting projects including new product development and modernising existing product lines.

You'll work closely with a small, experienced team to develop robust, future-proof solutions that are reliable and easily maintainable. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong electronics background who enjoys working in a supportive environment where ideas and innovation are encouraged.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Full design lifecycle work: schematic capture, hardware design, PCB layout, and testing.
2. Designing and developing electronic systems including ADC conversion, USB interfaces, SPI communication, thermal couplings, and signal conditioning.
3. Collaborating with mechanical engineers on concept development.
4. Modernising existing products with updated electronics solutions.
5. Producing schematics, layouts, and associated documentation.
6. Occasional firmware development and updates (training available if required).
7. Using KeyCAD for design work (bonus for experience with ESP32 or PIC microcontrollers).

What We’re Looking For:

• An experienced Electronics Engineer with at least 5 years' experience in a design role.
• Strong hands-on experience across the full design and test process of analogue and digital electronics.
• Ability to work independently in a small, collaborative team.
• Someone who is wanting to be the “go-to” person for all things electronics in the business.
• Proficiency with schematic capture, PCB layout, and electronic hardware testing.
• A people-person who is happy to work as part of a small team and contribute to a friendly, open culture.

The Benefits:

• Competitive Salary Package of up to £45,000 depending on experience.
• Working Hours: 8:00am – 4:30pm (Mon–Thu) and 8:00am – 1:00pm (Friday).
• Hybrid working up to 2 days from home for the right candidate.
• 26 days annual leave + bank holidays, with additional days awarded for long service.
• Option to purchase additional holidays.
• Pension & Profit Share: Generous pension contributions and access to a profit share bonus scheme.
• Employee Ownership Benefits.
• Supportive environment with on-the-job training and mentoring from experienced engineers.
