About the Role

This is a senior-level electronics engineering role within a well-established design consultancy and contract manufacturing environment. You'll work across a wide variety of technically challenging projects, from oil & gas downhole tools and ATEX-certified hazardous-area designs to automotive and medical devices.
The role suits an engineer who enjoys full product ownership, variety, and seeing designs through from concept to manufacture. You'll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and, where appropriate, work directly with customers.

What We're Looking For

15-20+ years' experience in electronics design across multiple companies/projects

Strong analogue electronics background

Proven experience taking products through testing, verification, and compliance

Comfortable working across the full lifecycle, not just a narrow design slice

Strong communication skills and genuine engagement with the end product

Desirable Experience

Altium Designer (schematic capture & PCB layout)

ATEX or hazardous-area design exposure

EMC/ESD testing and failure analysis

Functional safety (IEC, SIL) or automotive electronics experience

Regulated industries (medical, oil & gas, automotive)
