Electronics Engineer

Description

We are working with a specialist engineering business that designs and manufactures advanced electronic systems used in safety-critical applications.

Due to sustained growth and increasing demand, they are looking to add an experienced Electronics Engineer to a small, highly capable engineering team, where you'd be involved in the full product development life-cycle of their new systems.

The Role

This is a hands-on engineering role with real technical ownership. You will take responsibility for electronic systems across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to testing, validation, and in-service support.

Typical responsibilities include:

Owning electronic system designs for one or more products

Working at system level, not just component level

Reviewing and assessing schematics and designs

Leading and contributing to design reviews

Supporting new product development (approx. 70%)

Supporting existing products, troubleshooting and production improvements (approx. 30%)

Working closely with mechanical engineers, software specialists, and production teams

Contributing to safety analysis and safety cases for critical systems

Involvement in environmental, qualification, and field testing

This is not a project management role, but you will naturally lead technical activity and act as a point of authority for your products.

Technical Environment

Microcontroller-based electronics

Some analogue design

Safety-critical engineering and analysis

Altium for schematic review and light design work

PCB layout largely supported by external partners

Embedded C at a review and understanding level (not a pure software role)

About You

You will be an experienced electronics engineer who has worked on real products and understands how systems come together end-to-end. This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving, and being close to the hardware.

You are likely to have:

A degree in Electronics or a closely related discipline

Industry experience in electronic product development

Strong schematic understanding and system-level thinking

Confidence leading technical discussions and reviews

A proactive, solutions-focused approach

Comfort working in a small, collaborative team

Experience in defence, aerospace, rail, nuclear, or other safety-critical sectors is beneficial but not essential.

Security

The role is likely to require SC clearance. Candidates must be eligible, but clearance can be sponsored by the company.

Package & Working Pattern

Salary up to GBP60,000 DOE

Bonus scheme

Private healthcare

Pension

25 days holiday

Flexible working hours

Predominantly on-site due to the nature of the work, with reasonable ad-hoc flexibility
