Help Keep the World Connected

At HUBER+SUHNER Polatis, we develop innovative optical networking solutions that enable data to move across some of the world's most demanding communications networks.

We're looking for an Electronics Engineer to join our Cambridge team and play a key role in the development, verification and support of advanced electronic products. This is an exciting opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle, from new PCB design verification and test development through to production support, fault investigation and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy hands‑on engineering, solving complex technical problems and working with multidisciplinary teams, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop and execute verification and validation strategies to ensure products meet performance, reliability and customer requirements.


• Create and maintain test plans, procedures and acceptance criteria with full traceability to design specifications.


• Define test requirements that maximise PCB assembly test coverage and fault detection capability.


• Design, build and support test equipment, fixtures and automated test solutions for engineering and production environments.


• Use scripting, automation and data analysis techniques to improve test efficiency and repeatability.


• Produce clear technical reports detailing results, conclusions and recommendations.


• Deliver hardware and software‑based test solutions to agreed project schedules and quality standards.


• Support the evaluation and implementation of new test equipment and technologies.


• Work closely with Design, Manufacturing, Quality and Test teams to improve product testability, manufacturability and reliability.


• Identify project risks early and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across engineering processes.


• Perform detailed fault‑finding and component‑level diagnostics on analogue, digital, embedded, FPGA and power electronic systems.


• Lead structured root cause investigations and implement corrective and preventative actions.


• Support production and quality teams in resolving technical issues and improving product performance.


• Create specifications for automated test equipment, fixtures and bespoke test platforms.


• Analyse failure trends and support new product introduction activities to ensure successful transfer into manufacturing.

In order to be successful in this role you must have / be:

• HNC, HND, Degree or higher qualification in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.


• At least 3 years' experience within electronics design, product development, test or manufacturing environments.


• Strong understanding of analogue, digital, embedded and power electronic systems.


• Ability to interpret complex schematics and diagnose faults to component level.


• Experience conducting structured root cause investigations using methodologies such as 8D, 5 Whys or similar.


• Proficiency using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers, spectrum analysers, power supplies and digital multimeters.


• Practical hands‑on skills including soldering, rework, repair and prototype assembly.


• Knowledge of PCB/PCBA manufacturing processes, including DFM and DFT principles.


• Experience with automation, scripting or data analysis tools to improve engineering effectiveness.


• Excellent problem‑solving, communication and organisational skills with strong attention to detail.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience developing automated test solutions or bespoke test equipment.


• Knowledge of FPGA-based systems and embedded processors.


• Familiarity with manufacturing test strategies and new product introduction processes.


• Passion for continuous improvement and learning new technologies.
