Electronics Engineer
Wiltshire
Salary Dependent on Experience
Our client is looking for an Electronics Engineer to support the electrical and avionics designs, analysis, integration and testing of electrical Systems. You will work in small cross-functional teams of engineers to produce designs, evaluate prototypes and work on implementing them to the market
Electronics Engineer Roles and Responsibilities:
* Lead end‑to‑end PCB design activities, from requirements capture and schematic design through layout, manufacture, assembly, and in‑service support, ensuring designs are robust, manufacturable, and testable
* Develop multi‑layer PCB architectures including power, analogue, digital, and mixed‑signal designs, with appropriate partitioning, grounding, shielding, and EMC considerations
* Produce high‑quality schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer, including component selection, library management, controlled‑impedance routing, stack‑up definition, and design rule definition
* Design for DFM, DFA, and DFT, working closely with manufacturing partners to optimise yield, reliability, and cost
* Design and analyse power conversion, regulation, and protection circuits, including DC‑DC converters, LDOs, filtering, and transient protection
* Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and analogue performance analysis, including noise, filtering, grounding strategies, and timing constraints
* Define and execute PCB‑level verification and validation activities, including bring‑up, debugging, characterisation, and environmental testing
* Develop test strategies and test artefacts such as test plans, acceptance criteria, test procedures, and test reports for PCB assemblies
* Design and support production and engineering test solutions, including test points, boundary scan/JTAG, built‑in test features, and external test fixtures
* Use laboratory test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, power analysers, spectrum analysers, electronic loads) to diagnose and resolve complex hardware issues
* Support regulatory and compliance activities relevant to PCB designs, including EMC/EMI, electrical safety, and CE/UKCA requirements
* Manage configuration control, design reviews, and engineering change activity for PCB designs across development and production lifecycles
* Maintain comprehensive design records, calculations, test evidence, and manufacturing documentation in line with Modini engineering processes
Electronics Engineer Ideal Candidate:
* Demonstrable experience delivering production‑ready PCB designs, including schematic capture, layout, manufacture, assembly, and test
* Strong understanding of DFM/DFA/DFT principles and practical experience working with PCB manufacturers and assembly houses
* Proven experience in PCB bring‑up and fault‑finding, including systematic debugging of power, clocking, reset, and communications issues
* Experience defining and executing hardware verification and validation plans at PCB and subsystem level
* Ability to hold UK Security Clearance
* Experience with EMC‑aware PCB design and pre‑compliance testing (Desirable)
* Familiarity with PCB standards and best practice (e.g. IPC guidelines) (Desirable)
* Experience designing test fixtures or automated test solutions for low‑volume or production environments (Desirable)
* Exposure to safety‑critical or high‑reliability electronics (aerospace, defence, or similarly regulated sectors) (Desirable)
* Experience with prototype systems development or rapid engineering cycles (Desirable)
* University Degree or above (Engineering, etc) or HND with relatable experience (Desirable)
* Previous Aerospace, Military or Automotive experience (Desirable)
Working Hours and Benefits:
* Flexible working with core hours between 09:00 – 15:00
* 25 days annual leave
* Private medical insurance, Life assurance 4x, high street discounts
* Some hybrid, EV salary sacrifice, up to 8% matched pension
* Real life flexibility, home working around medical appointments and other personal circumstances
