Electronics Engineer
Glasgow (office-first, some flexibility)
Permanent | Exciting early-stage product | Life-saving technology
£35,000 - £45,000 + share options, private healthcare, solid pension, more
This is one of those roles that reminds you why you became an engineer.
Bright Purple is working with a fast-growing technology company developing a genuinely life-saving medical product. They’re now moving from early concept into alpha prototype and detailed design, and they’re looking for an Electronics Engineer who wants real ownership, real impact, and real technical challenge.
You’ll be joining a small, highly capable team of two who span hardware and firmware, at a pivotal point where your design decisions will directly shape the product that goes into manufacture — and ultimately into clinical use.
You’ll be an experienced Electronics Engineer who’s comfortable taking responsibility and making decisions, rather than just executing someone else’s design.
Essential experience:
Degree in Electronic Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
At least 2+ years’ industry experience
Strong proficiency with Altium Designer, CAD software, or other PCB design technologies
Excellent debug skills and confidence working in the lab
Understanding of EMC and safety compliance
Experience with DFM / DFT
Comfortable with soldering and rework
Hands-on use of lab equipment (oscilloscope, signal generator, VNA)
Nice to have (but not essential):
Medical device development experience
Exposure to ISO 14971 risk management
Familiarity with IEC (phone number removed) and related standards
HF / RF design experience
Tools such as Keysight ADS
Firmware experience, particularly with ST or Nordic Semiconductor
Why this role stands out
You’ll work on a product that genuinely saves lives
You’ll have real ownership, not just a small slice of the design
The team is small, focused, and highly skilled — no layers of bureaucracy
Engineers here consistently talk about how valued and trusted they feel
It’s an exciting growth phase, with tough technical problems to solve
Open to engineers from start-ups or larger organisations
The role is based in a central Glasgow office, ideal for engineers who enjoy collaboration and hands-on development. It’s an office-first environment, with some ad-hoc or occasional WFH flexibility by agreement.
If you’re an Electronics Engineer who wants your work to matter, and you’re excited by taking a product from concept to reality, this is a rare opportunity.
