As a Senior Electronics Systems Engineer, you will apply your expertise in mixed-signal electronic design and system-level integration to support the development of complex, high‑performance products.

• Design, develop and test analogue, digital and mixed-signal electronics across the full product lifecycle for new and legacy products and test equipment.
• Support hardware integration testing, troubleshooting and problem solving.
• Use E-CAD tools for schematic capture, PCB layout and circuit/PCB simulation.
• Work closely with Systems, Software, Mechanical and other engineering disciplines to deliver integrated solutions.

What You Must Have

• A minimum 2:1 Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• A strong theoretical understanding of analogue electronics.
• Experience integrating sensitive analogue circuitry with high-speed digital devices such as FPGAs, DSPs and microprocessors.
• Experience designing precision circuitry, including op‑amps, DACs, ADCs and voltage references.
• An understanding of control theory and open and closed‑loop systems.
• Experience using E-CAD systems for schematic capture, PCB layout and circuit/PCB simulation.

Skills & Experience We Value

• Xpedition, HyperLynx, LTSpice/AMS or similar tools.
• VHDL/Verilog architectural design, coding and simulation, particularly with Xilinx or Microchip technologies, including SoC.
• Embedded C/C++ for integration and problem solving.
• MEMS sensor technology.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Flexible working options.
• Excellent 2:1 matched pension contribution (up to 10%).
