Overview
Electronics Design Engineer – Location: Cambourne, Cambridge (On-site)
Join a world-leading technology organisation developing advanced electronic systems for cutting-edge scientific instrumentation. This is a hands-on electronics design role where you\'ll take designs from initial concept through to verification, compliance, and manufacturing readiness across high-performance electron microscopy platforms.
What You\'ll Love This Role
* Work on innovative, high-precision electronic systems used worldwide.
* Take full ownership of analogue, digital and microcontroller-based designs.
* Work with high-voltage, precision and embedded electronics in a specialist lab environment.
* Influence product safety, performance and compliance across global markets.
* Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing and supplier teams.
* Play a key technical role in new product introduction and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
* Designing analogue, digital and high-voltage electronic circuits for advanced instrumentation.
* Developing microcontroller-based hardware, embedded interfaces and low-level control electronics.
* Supporting regulatory certification (CSA, SEMI, EN60101-1, UKCA) and acting as a local conformity officer.
* Leading schematic capture, PCB layout reviews, simulation, prototyping and board bring-up.
* Performing verification, debugging and root-cause analysis using lab equipment.
* Supporting EMC compliance, working closely with external test houses.
* Contributing to NPI activities and ensuring designs transition smoothly into manufacturing.
* Working with suppliers and production sites to ensure test coverage, tooling and process readiness.
* Producing technical documentation, specifications and change management inputs (ECR/ECO).
* Promoting safe working practices in environments involving HV, ESD-sensitive components and lab equipment.
Qualifications
* A degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering.
* Strong experience in analogue circuit design and microcontroller-based systems.
* Proficiency with PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, Pulsonix) and circuit simulation software.
* Confident debugging electronic assemblies using oscilloscopes, analysers and HV test equipment.
* Solid understanding of EMC, grounding, signal integrity and safety standards.
* Basic embedded C skills for hardware bring-up and diagnostics.
* (Desirable) Knowledge of FPGA/digital logic (VHDL/Verilog), high-voltage electronics, EMC/CE/FCC compliance or scientific instrumentation.
