Job description

Are you a Senior Electronics Engineer looking to work on meaningful, life-changing technology?

We're partnering with an innovative organisation developing assistive communication technology, helping people with disabilities communicate and live more independently. This is a rare opportunity to combine cutting-edge engineering with real-world impact.

The Role

As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you'll take a hands-on role in the design and development of advanced, medical-grade electronic products.

You'll be involved across the full lifecycle - from architecture and circuit design to validation and manufacturing handover - while mentoring others and shaping technical direction.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading complex hardware projects from concept to delivery
• Designing circuits, systems, and PCB layouts end-to-end
• Working on embedded firmware (C/C++) alongside firmware teams
• Owning key subsystems (audio, sensors, HMI, thermal, etc.)
• Driving verification, validation, and regulatory compliance
• Collaborating cross-functionally with production, quality, and suppliers
• Working closely with Asian suppliers to source and select the best electrical components in terms of cost, quality, and availability
• Mentoring engineers and contributing to technical strategy

What We're Looking For

• Strong background in electronics design (analogue, digital & power)
• Experience with PCB design, DFM/DFA, and system architecture
• Embedded firmware experience (C/C++, RTOS ideally)
• Experience working with Asian suppliers or global supply chains to identify and procure optimal electronic components
• A proactive, hands-on mindset with strong communication skills
• Passion for building products that have a real human impact

What's On Offer

• Salary up to £70,000
• Hybrid working (3 days in Bristol office)
• Private medical insurance, pension & life assurance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Strong learning and development opportunities

Why Apply?

You'll be working on technology that genuinely changes lives, in a collaborative environment that values innovation, inclusion, and purpose-driven engineering
