Are you an experienced Electronics Engineer with a passion for precision systems and team leadership? This is a unique opportunity to lead the development of advanced electronic platforms, working on highly sensitive, low-noise instrumentation at the cutting edge of technology.
You’ll head up a multidisciplinary team, driving the design, integration, and optimisation of complex electronic systems from concept through to prototype and testing.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading and managing a team of engineers developing high-precision, low-noise electronic systems
* Designing and optimising analogue circuits, including low-noise amplifiers and signal chains
* Integrating electronic and mechanical systems into complex platforms
* Supporting lab automation through electronic and electromechanical solutions
* Driving cross-functional collaboration across electronics, mechanical, and software teams
* Improving performance through noise reduction, shielding, and signal integrity techniques
* Implementing signal processing approaches to enhance system performance
* Conducting circuit simulation and modelling (e.g. SPICE tools)
* Producing technical documentation, specifications, and reports
* Working with external partners on PCB design, fabrication, and testing
* Staying up to date with advancements in precision electronics and sensing technologies
What we’re looking for
* MSc or PhD in Electronics / Electrical Engineering
* Strong experience in analogue electronics, particularly low-noise design and instrumentation systems
* Proven experience with PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence, Allegro, etc.) and multilayer board design
* Deep understanding of signal integrity, grounding, shielding, and noise mitigation
* Hands-on experience with testing and debugging electronic systems (oscilloscopes, analysers, etc.)
* Experience across the full lifecycle: design -> simulation -> prototype -> test -> integration
* Programming experience (C, C++, Python) for test and hardware bring-up
* Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
Desirable:
* Experience with analogue or mixed-signal ASIC design
* Knowledge of embedded systems / microcontrollers
* Background in life sciences instrumentation or medical devices
Why apply?
* Lead development of cutting-edge, high-precision electronic systems
* Work in a multidisciplinary, highly innovative environment
* Take ownership across the full product development lifecycle
* Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on complex challenges
* Excellent opportunity for technical leadership and career progression
