Resumo da vaga

Portal Biotech Limited seeks a Lead Electronics Engineer to guide the Platform Development team in building and testing current-based nanopore sensing instruments at our White City, London HQ. The role is primarily on-site and reports to the Sr. Director Platform Development.

You will lead interdisciplinary engineers across electronics, mechanics and software, drive high-precision, low-noise hardware, and advance prototyping, testing, and integration for biosensing platforms.

Qualificações

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electronics / Electrical Engineering with 3+ years’ experience.
• Strong background in analogue electronics, instrumentation, low-noise design and small-signal measurement systems.
• Experience with PCB design EDA tools (Altium, Allegro, Cadence, DipTrace) and designing multilayer PCBs with signal integrity, grounding, shielding and noise mitigation.
• Experience characterising and debugging electronic systems and components such as amplifiers, DACs, ADCs, power supplies, and digital interfaces.
• Hands-on experience prototyping, testing and debugging PCBs and PCBAs with lab equipment.
• Ability to work across a broad range of engineering problems from concept to prototyping, test and system integration.
• Working-level proficiency in C, C++, Python for test automation and hardware bring-up.
• Good communication skills and ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.

Responsabilidades

• Manage an Instrument Team of expert engineers to conceive, develop and test instrument prototypes based on high precision, low noise amplifiers.
• Integrate electronic and mechanical solutions into biosensing and nanopore platforms.
• Support lab automation through implementation of electronic and mechanical devices.
• Work cross-functionally to establish electronics, mechanical and software engineering needs.
• Optimise circuit layouts and develop shielding techniques to minimise noise and interference.
• Implement signal processing techniques (hardware/software) to improve signal-to-noise ratio.
• Perform circuit simulations and modelling using tools such as SPICE.
• Document designs and test results, and write requirements, specifications and technical reports.
• Formulate actions and improvement plans with internal and external collaborators.
• Liaise with external partners on PCB/chip design, fabrication, and testing.
• Stay updated with emerging trends in precision electronics and sensors.
