Electronics Engineer

Role Purpose

We currently require a talented and driven Electronics Engineer to join the electronics team of 12 people. The team works to develop and deliver electronics engineering within the business. We also strive to drive forwards technology, projects, and team. We ensure we proactively meet the changing needs of the business as it progressively expands.

• Electronics - producing circuit design, components, and PCB technology. Working in technology areas of EMC, power management, servo control, processor interfacing and communications.
• Electrical – designing power and signal systems including design of the overall architecture, including power flow, system wiring and knowledge of various production processes.
• Set the standards of good engineering practice, and be seen by the rest of the business as an expert or aspiring expert in their given field.
• Suggest and make improvements to processes and practises within the department with a drive for innovation in all aspects of work.
• Communicate with more senior engineers and technical leads, sometimes briefing senior managers or customers.
• Take an active role in developing or enhancing technology within the business by developing their own areas of subject matter expertise and applying these to R&D development activities or projects.

• Strong degree (or HND with proven experience) in a related discipline accredited by the IET.
• Experience and a willingness to work within project teams on multi-disciplinary projects with challenging objectives.
• Solid theoretical and practical understanding of electrical and electronics designs.
• Ability to complete analysis-based activities such as defining power budgets, specifications and ability to output findings within technical reports.
• Ability to produce Electrical/Electronic designs, familiar with principles of technical drawings and working with/supporting production to achieve the intended design output.
• Willingness to develop projects through the complete lifecycle of a project from initial concept definition to customer delivery.
• A demonstrable passion for finding innovation-based approaches to solutions and challenging the status quo rather than accepting methods as they are.

• Member of the IET, keen to work towards Chartership (I-Eng/C-Eng)
• Experience using a range of laboratory tools such as Multi-meters, Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analysers, PSUs, Load banks and be aware of the capability and weaknesses of these tools.
• Practised or familiar in embedded Software Design, such as C, C++, C#
• Experience of EMC both in terms of emissions and coping with disturbance affects, such as EMI or Lightning
• Knowledge of Motors and drive technology with ability to analyse and calculate motion performance
• Awareness of control systems analysis, topology and simulation techniques. Including awareness in the use of analysis and simulation tools such as Python, Matlab, Simulink, LT-Spice, Simetrics etc.
• Familiar with management tools such as JIRA, Confluence, MS Project

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience interacting with customers and colleagues at all levels, with practised ability to build effective professional relationships with key stakeholders.
• Meticulous eye for detail and ability to clearly present information be it schematic/wiring designs, technical engineering reports or design proposals.
• Capable of managing own time, highlighting concerns, risks, and conflicts in a timely manner to managers
• Track record of demonstrating courage by tackling unique design challenges with diligence, endurance and nerve.
• Can demonstrate Integrity, with a track record for achieving what they say, when they say, while ensuring a flexible,…
