We are working with a specialist engineering business that designs and manufactures advanced electronic systems used in safety-critical applications.
Due to sustained growth and increasing demand, they are looking to add an experienced Electronics Engineer to a small, highly capable engineering team, where you'd be involved in the full product development life-cycle of their new systems.
The Role
This is a hands-on engineering role with real technical ownership. You will take responsibility for electronic systems across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to testing, validation, and in-service support.
Typical responsibilities include:
*
Owning electronic system designs for one or more products
*
Working at system level, not just component level
*
Reviewing and assessing schematics and designs
*
Leading and contributing to design reviews
*
Supporting new product development (approx. 70%)
*
Supporting existing products, troubleshooting and production improvements (approx. 30%)
*
Working closely with mechanical engineers, software specialists, and production teams
*
Contributing to safety analysis and safety cases for critical systems
*
Involvement in environmental, qualification, and field testing
This is not a project management role, but you will naturally lead technical activity and act as a point of authority for your products.
Technical Environment
*
Microcontroller-based electronics
*
Some analogue design
*
Safety-critical engineering and analysis
*
Altium for schematic review and light design work
*
PCB layout largely supported by external partners
*
Embedded C at a review and understanding level (not a pure software role)
About You
You will be an experienced electronics engineer who has worked on real products and understands how systems come together end-to-end. This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving, and being close to the hardware.
You are likely to have:
*
A degree in Electronics or a closely related discipline
*
Industry experience in electronic product development
*
Strong schematic understanding and system-level thinking
*
Confidence leading technical discussions and reviews
*
A proactive, solutions-focused approach
*
Comfort working in a small, collaborative team
Experience in defence, aerospace, rail, nuclear, or other safety-critical sectors is beneficial but not essential.
Security
The role is likely to require SC clearance. Candidates must be eligible, but clearance can be sponsored by the company.

Salary up to £60,000 DOE
*
Bonus scheme
