Job description

Overview

The Company

An exciting opportunity to join one of the UK's most innovative and well-established privately owned electronics manufacturers.

The Role

You'll be designing and supporting electronic products for a variety of major OEMs across sectors including Automotive, Clean Energy, Communications & Broadcasting, Consumer Electronics, Defence & Aerospace, Homeland Security, Medical, Scientific Research, and Space. With such a diverse client base, the scope of projects will be vast, challenging, and highly rewarding.

Working as part of a multi-disciplined engineering team — including Mechanical, Electronic, PCB, and Software Engineers — you'll be involved in every stage of the product lifecycle, from customer discussions and quotation through to concept, design, and manufacture.

This role offers the flexibility to work remotely, with IT equipment provided. However, there will be a requirement to attend the company's electronics lab in the Bedfordshire region when working on hardware or assisting with issues.

Key Responsibilities

We're seeking an experienced Electronic Design Engineer who has a proven track record of designing products for manufacture. You'll need to be comfortable working to deadlines and confident in communicating with customers in a clear and professional manner. While a grounding in embedded systems software is beneficial, this role will focus primarily on hardware design.

You should be highly motivated, self-managing, and have a structured, analytical approach, with the ability to follow existing design standards and practices.

The Candidate

• Degree (or equivalent) in Electronic Engineering or related discipline
• Extensive experience in electronics hardware design from concept through to production
• Strong problem-solving skills, with knowledge across a wide range of electronic technologies
• Experience producing technical documentation and reports
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Flexible approach to engineering, adapting to project type and client expectations
• Commercial experience in electronic product design
• Strong analogue and digital design skills with microcontrollers
• Schematic capture (Altium)
• Structured, methodical approach to design
• Technical writing and documentation experience
• FMEA and problem-solving techniques
• Approvals and validation experience
• Ability to manage project timelines
• Full driving licence (occasional customer site visits may be required)
• Eligibility for SC Clearance

Salary: £48,000 - £52,000 depending on experience and qualifications.
