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 You'll Be Doing
  • Designing analogue and digital electronic systems for regulated and industrial environments
  • Leading schematic capture, PCB design, and system-level architecture
  • Supporting products through EMC/ESD testing and compliance
  • Contributing to ATEX and functional safety-related designs (with in-house specialist support)
  • Reviewing designs, troubleshooting complex hardware issues, and validating prototypes
  • Producing clear, customer-ready technical documentation
  • Supporting transfer to manufacture and working with production partners
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)
Why Join
  • Highly varied, technically demanding projects
  • Stable, long-established engineering environment
  • Flexible working hours
  • 22 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (floating)
  • Pension: 5% employee / 3% employer
Interview Process
  • First stage: Teams interview with senior engineers
  • Second stage: Onsite technical interview, including a practical hardware exercise and meetings with engineering leadership
  • Position Requirements
    10+ Years work experience
