Purpose of the role To provide practical electronics engineering support across Mowden’s product portfolio, helping to sustain existing products, support new product introduction, resolve technical issues, and improve the connection between engineering and manufacture. The role exists to add valuable engineering capacity and help the business respond effectively to current operational demands and future growth opportunities. Main responsibilities The Electronics Engineer will: • Support existing and legacy product designs and help maintain their effective integration into the current portfolio. • Contribute to new product introduction (NPI) activity and support the transfer of products and changes into manufacture. • Investigate component obsolescence, identify suitable alternatives and support technical decision-making around product changes. • Provide engineering support to production and workshop teams on product-related assembly and technical issues. • Contribute to analogue and digital electronics work, including design support, modifications and development tasks where required. • Assist with technical documentation, specifications, reports, records and engineering workflow requirements. • Support testing, validation and technical evaluation activities in line with quality and compliance expectations. • Work closely with engineering, production and operations colleagues to resolve issues and improve manufacturability, supportability and efficiency. • Contribute to the development of test equipment, jigs or related support tools. • Ensure work is properly documented and carried out in line with quality systems and relevant standards. • Take ownership of assigned work, manage priorities effectively and use sound judgement in day-to-day technical decisions. Person Specification Essential qualifications and knowledge • Degree-level qualification in Electronics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline. • Good grounding in analogue and digital electronics. • Working knowledge of microcontrollers and programmable devices, including Microchip and Atmel or equivalent platforms. • Familiarity with engineering software such as EasyPC, KiCad, AutoCAD, SolidWorks or similar 2D, 3D and PCB drafting tools. Essential experience • Experience in an electronics engineering role beyond graduate entry level. • Experience that combines technical depth with practical application, ideally across product support, design support, NPI, testing or manufacturing-facing engineering. • Experience of working through technical problems, assessing options and making sensible engineering judgements. • Experience of documenting work clearly and maintaining good engineering records. Essential skills and behaviours • Confidence and credibility in technical discussions. • Ability to manage time, organise work and deal with competing priorities. • Strong practical problem-solving ability. • Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues across engineering, production and operations. • Willingness to take ownership and work with a reasonable degree of independence. Desirable experience • Experience of NPI, engineering change and / or product integration. • Experience of component obsolescence and alternative part selection. • Experience in a high-reliability, regulated or quality-critical electronics environment. • Exposure to sectors such as ATEX, aerospace and defence, industrial instrumentation, oil and gas, security or related applications. • Experience with intrinsically safe or ATEX-related products. • Familiarity with disciplined manufacturing and inspection environments, including traceability, testing and IPC-led quality expectations. • Good written and verbal communication.
