Work Pattern: 3-4 days onsite (essential for testing)
About the Role
This is a senior-level electronics engineering role within a well-established design consultancy and contract manufacturing environment. You'll work across a wide variety of technically challenging projects, from oil & gas downhole tools and ATEX-certified hazardous-area designs to automotive and medical devices.
The role suits an engineer who enjoys full product ownership, variety, and seeing designs through from concept to manufacture. You'll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and, where appropriate, work directly with customers.
What You'll Be Doing
Designing analogue and digital electronic systems for regulated and industrial environments
Leading schematic capture, PCB design, and system-level architecture
Supporting products through EMC/ESD testing and compliance
Contributing to ATEX and functional safety-related designs (with in-house specialist support)
Reviewing designs, troubleshooting complex hardware issues, and validating prototypes
Producing clear, customer-ready technical documentation
Supporting transfer to manufacture and working with production partners
What We're Looking For
15-20+ years' experience in electronics design across multiple companies/projects
Strong analogue electronics background
Proven experience taking products through testing, verification, and compliance
Comfortable working across the full lifecycle, not just a narrow design slice
Strong communication skills and genuine engagement with the end product
Desirable Experience
Altium Designer (schematic capture & PCB layout)
ATEX or hazardous-area design exposure
EMC/ESD testing and failure analysis
Functional safety (IEC, SIL) or automotive electronics experience
Regulated industries (medical, oil & gas, automotive)
Why Join
Highly varied, technically demanding projects
Stable, long-established engineering environment
Flexible working hours
22 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (floating)
Pension: 5% employee / 3% employer
