Job description

Senior Electronics Engineer

Senior Hardware Engineer/Technical Lead

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Electronics Engineer to join an innovative technology business developing advanced electronic products.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, offering significant autonomy and ownership across the full product lifecycle, from concept and architecture through to design, test, manufacture and product release.

Working within a small, highly skilled engineering team, you will lead the design and development of new products, support and improve existing designs, and act as the technical lead on a range of cutting-edge projects. You'll work closely with external design partners, PCB contractors and manufacturing partners to ensure successful project delivery.

This role would suit a proactive engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and wants to remain technically hands-on whilst providing engineering leadership.

Key Responsibilities as Senior Electronics Engineer

• Lead electronic product development from concept through to production.
• Define system architectures and electronic designs for new products.
• Design, simulate and verify mixed-signal electronic circuits.
• Produce schematics, PCB designs and technical documentation.
• Support prototype build, test, validation and regulatory compliance activities.
• Troubleshoot, improve and maintain existing electronic designs.
• Work with external PCB designers and contract manufacturers.
• Support production, test and calibration activities.
• Drive design-for-manufacture, quality and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering projects.

You will likely be an experienced electronics engineer with a strong background in mixed-signal design and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with colleagues, suppliers and customers.

To succeed, you will ideally have:

• A degree in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
• In depth experience in electronics design and development.
• Strong mixed-signal design experience
• Experience designing low-noise, high-performance electronic systems.
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture, PCB design and circuit simulation tools.
• Experience using Altium Designer or similar package (OrCAD, EAGLE etc)
• Strong understanding of system architecture and product development.
• Experience with high-speed ADCs, signal conditioning and data acquisition systems.
• Familiarity with laboratory test equipment
• Experience supporting products through testing, validation and manufacture.
• Excellent communication skills and a methodical approach to problem solving.

In return you will have the opportunity to undertake a highly autonomous role with full project ownership.

Hours

Monday – Friday, Flexible start/finish times, primarily site-based, with some hybrid flexibility.

Likely to suit individuals with a background as (but not limited to) Senior Electronics Engineer, Electronic Design Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Hardware Engineer, Electronic Technical Lead, Senior Hardware Engineer or similar
