Job description

Do you want to take consumer products from first sketch through to mass production, for some of the world's biggest brands?

Are you familiar with the challenges of developing high-volume products?

We're supporting a client of ours looking to strengthen their engineering team with a Senior Electronics Engineer. They're specifically looking for somebody with experience across consumer tech, but also well rounded technically and able to take real ownership over projects.

This role puts you at the centre of the full product lifecycle: from early concept generation right through to product launch and ongoing improvement, with hands-on ownership of electronic design using a professional workflow (Altium and Cadence). You'll work alongside industry-leading experts in electronics, software and mechanical engineering, with the opportunity to move across sectors and share ideas as you go. There's also a genuine mentoring element - helping build the careers of less experienced engineers on the team whilst also developing your abilities too.

What You'll Bring

• A proven track record developing and implementing electronic designs using a professional workflow
• Breadth and depth - a good grounding across core electronics disciplines including analogue and digital circuit design, plus experience with the latest embedded platforms
• Demonstrable experience balancing BOM cost against wider project requirements
• Full product lifecycle exposure, from concept through to product launch, with real experience delivering designs into service / mass production
• A solid understanding of the UK, EU and US regulatory landscape, and a track record of designing to relevant compliance standards
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to comfortably explain complex engineering concepts to technical and non-technical audiences alike
• A degree in electronic engineering (or related) from a strong academic background

Also Valued

• Energy and enthusiasm for unfamiliar challenges, with a genuine appetite to innovate and think freely
• Experience speaking to customers and external stakeholders

If you want variety in your work and the chance to solve high-profile, real-world engineering challenges, all while helping bring some of the most exciting consumer products to market, this could be the role for you.
