Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer
Location: Camberley
Salary: Competitive / Negotiable
A leading engineering business based in Camberley is looking for a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer to take technical ownership of new electronic designs and help deliver robust, low-power, low-noise hardware for advanced instrumentation. This is a senior, hands‑on role combining digital and analogue design, embedded development, EMC/standards compliance, and practical fault‑finding—with scope to influence design decisions and mentor others across engineering and production support.
What you'll be doing
* Designing and developing analogue and digital electronics (including FPGA & MPU-based designs) with an emphasis on low average power consumption and low-noise systems.
* Taking the lead on hardware reviews, evaluating options and selecting the best technical approach for each project.
* Owning EMC-led design, supporting EMC testing, and ensuring standards compliance.
* Supporting embedded work in C and/or C++ on microprocessors, plus hands‑on debugging and fault resolution across hardware/firmware.
* Producing high-quality design documentation so others can pick up work confidently and maintain momentum.
* Working to established processes and contributing to improvements that increase quality and efficiency.
* Providing informal leadership by mentoring and guiding colleagues (no direct reports, but senior-level influence is expected).
What we're looking for
Essential
* Strong experience designing both analogue and digital circuits, using simulation where appropriate to ensure reliability and fitness for purpose.
* Practical capability in EMC design principles and applying relevant standards (e.g., marine/industrial compliance frameworks).
* PCB design experience using Altium, with solid schematic capture and good foundational PCB layout knowledge.
* Embedded coding ability in C (able to write from the ground up, fix bugs, and implement features) plus at least a basic understanding of C++/OOP.
* Comfortable with hands‑on electronics fault‑finding and supporting manufacturing/production when needed.
* 2:1 or above in a relevant engineering degree (e.g., Electronic/Electrical Engineering or similar).
Nice to have
* Evidence of staying current with industry trends, tools, and techniques, and applying that learning pragmatically.
