Senior Electronic Engineer
Location: Great Yarmouth
Salary: £60, + benefits
Please note: Due to security clearance requirements, applicants must hold British Citizenship.
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to take a true technical ownership role in the design and development of high-reliability electronic systems used in aerospace and defence applications.
You will work on advanced hybrid microelectronics and RF circuit designs, contributing directly to systems where performance, reliability, and precision are critical. The role combines hands-on circuit design with technical leadership, giving you influence across both new product development and legacy system sustainment.
If you enjoy solving complex engineering problems, working at the forefront of electronic design, and seeing your work deployed in demanding environments, this is a role where your expertise will have real impact.
What you will be doing
1. Taking technical ownership of RF circuit and subsystem design from concept through to validation
2. Designing and developing hybrid microelectronic circuits including chip-and-wire and chip-and-bond wire assemblies
3. Leading schematic capture, circuit simulation, analysis, and verification activities
4. Supporting both new product development and legacy product sustainment
5. Improving existing designs to enhance performance, reliability, and manufacturability
6. Working closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are robust and production-ready
7. Selecting and evaluating components for high-reliability and harsh environment applications
8. Supporting obsolescence management and redesign activities where required
9. Contributing to design reviews and technical sign-off processes
10. Investigating technical issues and leading root cause analysis where needed
11. Working collaboratively with suppliers and procurement on component and technical challenges
12. Ensuring compliance with aerospace and defence standards and internal engineering processes
13. Supporting and mentoring junior engineers within the team
