Job summary

Reevr Talent Ltd is assisting a technology business based in Wokingham to recruit a Principal Electronics Engineer. You will lead electronics activities across new product design and development, from concept through to production, and own system architecture, PCB development and verification.

This hands-on, senior role requires extensive mixed-signal analogue/digital design, PCB layout, ECAD tools (Altium, EAGLE, PADS, OrCAD), and experience with measurement equipment and regulatory testing.

Qualifications

• A degree or equivalent qualification in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong experience in mixed-signal circuit design, including analogue and digital electronics.
• Significant experience with small-signal linear analogue design.
• Experience designing high-sensitivity receiver, detector or measurement circuits.
• Strong hands-on PCB design experience and familiarity with ECAD tools such as Altium, EAGLE, PADS or OrCAD.
• Experience with system architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout and engineering documentation.
• Practical experience using laboratory test equipment including oscilloscopes, function generators, bench power supplies and spectrum analysers.
• Experience with circuit simulation and mathematical modelling tools such as LTSpice, MathCad or Excel.
• Experience with microcontrollers, programmable devices and/or FPGA-based hardware.
• Knowledge of embedded controller hardware design.
• Experience with high-speed data conversion, clocks and timing circuitry.
• Knowledge of communication interfaces including UART, USB, TWI/I2C and RS485.
• Experience with power management and analogue/switched DC converters across approximately 3.3V-24V.
• A methodical and analytical approach to engineering and problem solving.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills.
• The ability to work autonomously and take ownership of technically complex projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead electronics activities across new product design and development projects, from initial concept through to production.
• Take technical ownership of system and electronics architecture, schematic capture, circuit design, modelling, simulation and PCB development.
• Design and develop mixed-signal analogue and digital electronics, with a strong emphasis on small-signal analogue design.
• Work on the development of sophisticated optoelectronic, sensing, detection and measurement technologies.
• Design, prototype and test electronic assemblies and PCBAs.
• Support the testing, calibration and verification of existing products and electronic sub-assemblies.
• Troubleshoot, modify and improve legacy electronic designs.
• Provide technical support to Production teams and external contract manufacturing partners.
• Work with external PCBA consultants and PCB designers, providing technical direction where required.
• Lead functional and quality assurance testing and support regulatory certification activities, including CE, LVD and RoHS.
• Maintain electrical and functional test specifications across a portfolio of 30 designs.
• Support design for manufacture and design for test activities.
• Lead continuous improvement, concessions and component obsolescence management.
• Work independently as a technical lead whilst collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
