Job description

Overview

High speed electronics design and development. This is a fully hands-on mid-senior electronics engineer role, designing, prototyping, debugging, verifying and integrating complex RF hardware. You would be working on multiple products for a variety of applications as well as associated test tools and manufacturing systems. Typically, you can expect to be involved with PCB layout, RF components, FPGAs, VHDL and/or Verilog, low level communications buses, embedded software, and creation of schematics and other documentation. There are elements of liaising with other teams, supporting other company functions such as marketing and sales, and planning and scheduling work to deliver the work on time, but the focus is very much on engineering.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to multiple products across applications, including test tools and manufacturing systems.
• Engage in PCB layout, RF components, FPGAs, VHDL/Verilog, low level communications buses, embedded software, and creation of schematics and documentation.
• Collaborate with other teams and support marketing and sales, with planning and scheduling to deliver work on time; focus remains on engineering.

Requirements

• A degree in electronics or a similar subject from a well-ranked university
• Expertise in high speed electronics design: PCB layout, low level communications (SPI, I2C etc.), FPGA, Verilog, VHDL, microcontrollers and SOCs
• Embedded C and assembler coding skills
• Experience developing for embedded Linux
• Practical prototyping circuits and use of common tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, signal generators
• Full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK
• RF engineering experience isn't essential, but an interest would be an advantage

Location & Benefits

The company are based in modern offices to the west of Cambridge. A competitive salary and benefits package, and scope for some hybrid working are on offer to the successful candidate.
