Job description

Fancy owning a product properly, from the first blank schematic through to something rolling off the line? This is that kind of role, not a tidy-up-someone-else's-board kind of role.

My client is a well-established manufacturer of rugged, high-reliability electronics for demanding markets, the sort of environments where kit has to keep working and failure is not an option. They sit within a larger international group, so there's stability behind them, but the engineering culture is hands-on and you'll have real ownership.

You'll be the design authority for your own hardware, seeing each product right across its life:

• Developing and proving out mixed-signal designs spanning low-level analogue, digital and power stages
• Capturing schematics, driving board layout, and writing up the design properly as you go
• Steering products through the environmental and electromagnetic testing that regulated markets demand
• Leading cost-down and manufacturability work, designing for build, test and long-term supply, and heading off component obsolescence
• Bringing on the junior engineers around you and acting as the technical voice in front of customers

What would make you a fit:

• An electronics degree, or the equivalent knowledge earned in industry
• A genuine history of designing involved electronic products where reliability really matters
• Comfort across the board: analogue, digital and power, plus embedded work on microcontroller or DSP platforms
• Time spent taking products through formal qualification and certification
• A commercial head to go with the technical one, and the ease to deal with customers and suppliers as readily as fellow engineers
