Electronics Engineer

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 £60,000 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
