Plexus Design Centre – Bathgate, Scotland

Duration: 12 Weeks - June to August

Final date to receive applications: 8th January 2027

At Plexus, hardware design is at the heart of what we do. Operating from our specialized Design Centre in Bathgate, we create complex electronic systems powering next‑generation medical technology, aerospace systems, and advanced industrial equipment. We deliver complete product solutions from initial schematic design right through to manufacturing.

We are looking for a driven Hardware/Electronics Engineering Intern to join our team this summer. You’ll be immersed in real-world circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, and hands‑on lab bring‑up, working alongside senior electronics engineers in a supportive and dynamic environment.

• Support schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout for client product designs.
• Perform hands‑on board bring‑up, testing, signal integrity measurements, and hardware debugging in the lab.
• Assist in circuit analysis, simulation, and thermal/power calculations across the product design life cycle.
• Collaborate with software and mechanical engineers to ensure seamless physical and electrical integration.

• Students currently pursuing a degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Understanding of core analogue/digital electronics concepts and exposure to PCB design tools or lab measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies).
• Strong analytical skills, a passion for electronics hardware, and a desire to learn in a high‑tech environment.
