The Opportunity
Are you a Senior Electronics Engineer looking for a role where your work genuinely matters? We are working exclusively with a well‑established UK defence and maritime technology business - around 500 people - who develop advanced naval protection and undersea surveillance systems deployed by navies across the globe.
Based in Devon with hybrid and flexible working, this is a rare opportunity to take technical ownership of complex electro‑mechanical systems in a specialist, mission‑driven environment - without the pace and pressure of a large prime contractor.
The South West is one of the best places in the UK to live and work. With easy access to Dartmoor, the Jurassic Coast, and a lower cost of living than London or Bristol, this role is particularly well suited to engineers considering relocation. Exeter is well connected by rail and road and has a growing engineering community.
The Role
You will take ownership of electrical and electronic engineering delivery across a range of electro‑mechanical systems, working within a small, specialist multi‑disciplinary team. You will be expected to operate at a senior level throughout the full product lifecycle - from requirements capture through to acceptance and beyond.
Day to day you will be:
* Leading electrical and electronic design and development of electro‑mechanical systems
* Delivering full lifecycle engineering from requirements decomposition through to acceptance and user sign‑off
* Providing technical support and leadership within a multi‑disciplinary engineering team
* Mentoring and supporting the development of junior engineers
* Supporting and facilitating design reviews and approvals to business and industry standards
* Contributing to manufacturing drawings, schematics, CAD models and technical reports
* Supporting products through manufacturing, assembly, installation and service life
* Contributing to bids and proposals, including customer and supplier interfacing
What We’re Looking For
* Strong analogue and digital design skills
* Full lifecycle experience from requirements decomposition through to acceptance on multi‑disciplinary programmes
* Experience in the design and manufacture of electro‑mechanical systems
* Experience of requirements capture, analysis, V&V and configuration management
* Ability to provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills
The Package
* Up to £62,000 depending on experience
* Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
* Half‑day Fridays
* 25 days annual leave plus buy and sell options
* Up to 16 days flexi leave accrual
* Private medical health insurance
* Group Pension Plan - up to 7% employer contribution
