Electronics Design Engineer

Are you an Electronics Design Engineer who'd rather solve varied, hands-on problems than repeat the same PCB layout? Do you enjoy figuring out how something works before deciding how to fix it?

We are working with a specialist engineering design and manufacturing business solving complex, often legacy or obsolete engineering challenges for customers across aerospace, defence, rail, industrial and other high-reliability sectors. They are now looking to add an Electronics Design Engineer to the team.

This is a broad role rather than a narrow PCB design position. You will cover schematic capture, component selection, circuit and system-level design, plus reverse engineering and obsolescence work on legacy equipment with feasibility input on new customer enquiries too, alongside an experienced, multidisciplinary team.

• PCB layout, schematic capture and component selection across varied design projects.
• Identify suitable alternative or replacement components for technical fit, availability and lifecycle.
• Support analogue and digital circuit design and system-level integration.
• Assist with technical feasibility work and reverse engineering of legacy or obsolete equipment.
• Prototype bring-up, testing, debugging and fault finding.
• Maintain BOMs, design records and supporting engineering documentation.

• Good grounding in electronics via a degree, apprenticeship, HNC/HND route or hands-on experience.
• Practical experience of PCB design, schematic capture and component selection.
• Understanding of analogue and digital electronics, with confidence fault finding using test equipment.
• Comfortable working across varied projects rather than one narrow specialism.
• Curious and methodical, willing to learn from experienced engineers.
• RF electronics, signal integrity or systems design experience an advantage, though not essential.

• Salary of £35,000 - £43,000, DOE
• Full-time, permanent role
• 33 days holiday including Bank Holidays
• NEST pension scheme
