Full-Time | £40,000 - £50,000 per annum (Depending on Experience)
Position Overview
We are seeking a technically accomplished Lead Electronics Engineer to join a growing engineering team delivering robust, high-reliability electronic solutions to the UK rail industry. This is a hands-on role covering the full product lifecycle — from concept, design, and embedded firmware development through to fault diagnostics and legacy system refurbishment.
The successful candidate will work across a range of rolling stock, traction, and control systems, often where components are obsolete and require creative engineering approaches.

* 37-hour work week with an early Friday finish.
* 28 days holiday (including bank holidays), with Christmas shutdown.
