About the role:
As a Senior Embedded Electronics Engineer, you will play a key role within the Imaging R&D team at Malvern Panalytical, contributing to the development of our particle imaging and characterisation instruments, including Morphologi, NanoSight, and next-generation imaging platforms. You will design and deliver embedded electronic systems and firmware that form a critical part of complex scientific instrumentation. Working across hardware, embedded software, embedded Linux, and FPGA-interfaced subsystems, you will support projects throughout the full product lifecycle—from early concept and architecture through to verification and release. Your work will directly contribute to product innovation, performance, and reliability, supporting customers across academic, industrial, and government markets worldwide.
What you’ll be doing:
* Design, develop, and verify embedded electronic systems for scientific instruments
* Produce mixed-signal electronic designs including sensor interfaces, data acquisition, power management, and precision control
* Develop and review embedded firmware in C/C++ across bare-metal, RTOS, and embedded Linux environments
* Build and maintain embedded Linux platforms, including kernel configuration, device trees, bootloaders, and Yocto-based build systems
* Collaborate with FPGA engineers on processor-to-FPGA interfacing and system integration
* Support prototype bring-up, system debugging, and EMC/safety compliance activities
* Work closely with software, mechanical, optical, and scientific colleagues to deliver integrated solutions
* Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and support to other engineers within the team
About you:
* Significant experience in embedded electronics and firmware development within complex products
* Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems
* Experience designing mixed-signal electronics and supporting PCB development
* Exposure to embedded Linux environments and FPGA-interfaced systems
* A structured, quality-focused approach to engineering and problem solving
* The ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and contribute to continuous improvement.
What’s in It for You:
* Hybrid working and flexitime to support work-life balance
* The opportunity to work on technically challenging, scientifically meaningful products.
* A collaborative, inclusive R&D environment within a global organisation
* The chance to make a real impact for customers working to make the world cleaner, healthier, and more productive
