Contract Electronics Engineer - Outside IR35
£35 - 50/hour
South Cambridge | Hybrid - 2 days on site
Our client is looking for an Electronics Engineer to join their team on an initial contract to support the latest iteration of a medical device platform.
This role centres on supporting the second round of DFM changes ahead of manufacturer handover, covering around 10+ PCBs all managed in Altium. The work itself isn’t especially complex, but there’s a fair amount of it - small, detail-heavy updates across layout, schematics, footprints, and libraries, alongside some hands-on debug and EMC-driven design tweaks. You’ll be working closely with mechanical and software engineers inside the instrument, contributing to DFM/DFT improvements and documentation updates to get the next hardware version out the door. Strong Altium experience is important given the volume of changes, and there’s a clear preference for someone on site to make collaboration and problem-solving quicker and more effective.
Key Technical Experience:
* Supporting bring-up of a new hardware version
* Hands-on debugging of electromechanical systems
* Identifying and resolving performance gaps from previous designs
* Experience implementing design modifications to improve EMC performance
* Exposure to medical device development (ideally FDA-regulated environments)
* Producing design and documentation updates for hardware release
* DFM/DFT updates to existing PCBA designs
* Strong experience using Altium for schematic and layout updates
Unfortunately sponsorship is not available for this role.
