• You will also be:

Responsibilities

• Lead electronic engineering activity across the full product lifecycle, from concept generation and feasibility through detailed design iterations, verification, validation and transfer to manufacture.
• Translate client, clinical and user needs into practical engineering requirements and commercially viable technical solutions which feed into sophisticated surgical medical technologies that improve patient outcomes.
• Lead small and medium sized projects, and/or workstreams within larger programmes. Take ownership of, and deliver, electronics work packages – balancing technical risk, cost, speed, quality and regulatory considerations.
• Act as a trusted technical authority on projects, defining system architectures, identifying key interaction points between subsystems and communicating complex engineering topics clearly to internal teams, external clients and stakeholders.
• Review scope of projects and provide practical insight and guidance to other Consultants to strengthen technical quality, delivery confidence and design rigour.

Company Description

TTP is an employee-owned technology and product development consultancy, with a 40-year track record of helping ambitious clients solve complex technical challenges to bring innovative, commercially successful solutions to market.

We invent, design, and manufacture impactful products and technologies across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, life science, energy, and communications – and at the intersection of biology, physical science and engineering.

Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and technical collaboration, while providing you with the freedom to do your best work. With our bigger-picture thinking and consultative approach, our multidisciplinary expertise enhances patient outcomes, improves lives, and delivers measurable value for our client’s creative ideas.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced Electronic Engineer Consultant to join a high-calibre team of consultants, developing advanced surgical devices from early concept through to market readiness. This is a hands-on, technically challenging role for an Electronics Engineer who would mentor others, combining deep electronics expertise with consultancy skills, commercial awareness and the drive to deliver robust, high-quality products in a regulated environment.

As an Electronics Consultant, you will work closely with our multidisciplinary teams, clients and stakeholders. You will lead projects and contribute to the design, development, verification and transfer to manufacture of complex electronic systems for surgical technology applications. You will be expected to understand the broader product, clinical and commercial context, bringing clarity to ambiguous technical challenges and helping teams move efficiently from idea to market-ready solution.

Lead electronic engineering activity across the full product lifecycle, from concept generation and feasibility through detailed design iterations, verification, validation and transfer to manufacture.

Translate client, clinical and user needs into practical engineering requirements and commercially viable technical solutions which feed into sophisticated surgical medical technologies that improve patient outcomes.

You will also be:

Intellectually curious and eager to explore new perspectives.

Strategically focused yet responsive and adaptive in execution.

Commercially minded – able to spot opportunities, shape proposals, and win follow-on work.

A confident, clear, and empathetic communicator who builds trust with clients and colleagues alike.

An empowering leader who coaches others to grow.

Willing to travel for in-person meetings and client engagements.
