Job description

Title: Senior Electronics Engineer
Location: Limerick, Ireland
Working Arrangement: Permanent, onsite - minimum 4 days per week onsite
Benefits: Top salary, bonus, pension and healthcare

My client is seeking an experienced Senior Electronics Engineer to join a highly technical engineering team in Limerick.

This is a senior individual contributor role suited to an engineer who enjoys being close to the hardware and wants genuine ownership of complex electronics projects from design and development through to validation, debugging and delivery.

You will have the opportunity to work across both new product development and sustaining engineering, collaborating closely with embedded software and firmware teams to develop, troubleshoot and improve sophisticated electronic products.

The Role

As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you will take ownership of key hardware engineering activities and play a hands-on role throughout the product lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing analogue and digital electronic circuits
• Designing and reviewing PCBs, including schematic capture and layout
• Performing board bring-up, debugging and hardware validation
• Conducting laboratory testing, measurements and fault finding
• Diagnosing complex hardware issues and carrying out root-cause analysis
• Designing and troubleshooting DC-to-DC power conversion solutions
• Supporting new product development from initial concept through to verification and delivery
• Providing engineering support for existing products and resolving technical issues
• Working closely with embedded software and firmware engineers during development and debugging
• Documenting designs, test results, investigations and engineering changes
• Contributing to design reviews and helping drive robust engineering solutions

You should have:

• Strong experience in electronic circuit design
• Solid analogue and digital electronics knowledge
• Experience with PCB design and hardware development
• Proven experience with board bring-up and debugging
• Strong laboratory troubleshooting and test skills
• Experience performing structured root-cause analysis
• Knowledge of DC-to-DC converters and power electronics
• Experience taking hardware from design through testing and validation
• The ability to work effectively with embedded software/firmware teams
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical decisions clearly

Experience working within a regulated product environment would be advantageous.

What Will Set You Apart

We're particularly interested in engineers who can talk in detail about the hardware they have personally designed, tested, debugged and delivered.

You will be someone who enjoys getting into the detail - putting a board on the bench, investigating why something isn't working, identifying the root cause and implementing a robust solution.

This is not a people-management position. It is an opportunity for a highly capable engineer to remain technically hands-on while taking significant ownership of challenging engineering projects.

Career Development

The role offers strong long-term career development, including the potential to progress toward a Staff Engineer position. However, the immediate priority is finding an experienced engineer who can make a meaningful technical contribution from day one and take ownership of complex hardware challenges.
