Electronic Engineer | Intrinsically Safe IIoT | Cambridge (Hybrid)
We are supporting a fast-growing, Cambridge-based advanced technology business as they hire an Electronic Engineer to take full ownership of electronic design and global compliance for intrinsically safe, battery-powered IIoT devices deployed into hazardous environments.
This is a technically accountable role with real ownership. You will lead hardware governance, certification delivery and compliance strategy as products scale internationally.
The Role
* Own electronic product design and compliance across certified hazardous-area devices
* Lead ATEX / IECEx / NRTL (UL) approvals from concept through to listing
* Ensure alignment with IEC/EN/UL 60079-0 & 60079-11 (Intrinsic Safety)
* Deliver FCC / EMC / RED and radio compliance activity
* Build and maintain full technical files and controlled documentation
* Manage Engineering Change Notes and support manufacturing & supply chain
* Maintain audit readiness and global compliance as expansion continues
You will leverage an existing certified product portfolio while driving new approvals and design evolution.
Essential Experience
* Degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering
* 3+ years in electronic hardware design and product compliance
* Strong schematic and PCB layout review capability
* Hands-on FCC / EMC / radio test planning experience
* Confident owning technical documentation as a safety artefact
Desirable
* Delivered ATEX / IECEx / UL approvals, ideally intrinsically safe designs
* Battery-powered Ex product experience
* Exposure to ISO 9001 / ISO 80079-34 audits
* Knowledge of LoRaWAN or BLE coexistence
* Experience with KiCAD, Cognidox, SolidWorks or similar
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a support-level electronics position. You are the compliance and hardware owner.
Designs, BOMs and documentation directly underpin product safety and certification.
There is also scope to contribute to future product electronic design as the portfolio grows.
