KO2's client is looking for an experienced Electronics Engineer to join their product development team in Rugby. This is a hands-on role covering the full product lifecycle — from schematic design and component selection through to PCB layout, firmware development, prototype testing, and production support.

You'll be working on innovative electronic solutions from concept through to production, combining strong analogue/digital hardware design skills with embedded C/C++ firmware development.

• Managing BOM data for new and existing products within the ERP system
• Proving functional design across both firmware and hardware, including designing and implementing production testing solutions (production tester firmware/software and hardware rigs)
• Contributing to Safety/EMC compliance activities as part of product testing and certification
• Coordinating with the development team and liaising with suppliers to transfer solutions into production
