Electronics Engineer
Location: York (Hybrid WFH Available)
Salary: £50,000 plus benefits
KO2 is partnering with a technology-driven organisation in York that designs and manufactures IoT-connected electronic devices for deployment in demanding real-world environments. They are looking to strengthen their hardware team with an Electronics Engineer who has strong hands-on design experience and a passion for robust, production-ready electronics.
Role Overview
You will be responsible for the design, development, and validation of electronic hardware used in connected products. The role covers the full lifecycle, from early concept and architecture definition through to schematic design, PCB layout, testing, certification, and manufacture.
You’ll work closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure reliable, low-power, and scalable IoT solutions.
Key Technical Responsibilities
* Design analogue and digital circuits for microcontroller-based systems
* Schematic capture and multi-layer PCB design (typically 4–8 layers)
* Component selection, derating, and lifecycle management
* Low-power design for battery-operated devices
* Hardware support for embedded firmware development and debug
* Board bring-up, fault finding, and root cause analysis
* Validation, verification, and environmental testing
* Support EMC, safety, and regulatory compliance (CE / UKCA / FCC)
Required Technical Skills
* Strong fundamentals in analogue and digital electronics
* Experience designing around microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M or similar)
* Proven experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools
* Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyser, JTAG/SWD)
* Knowledge of design for manufacture and volume production
Desirable Experience
* Wireless technologies: Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, Cellular (LTE-M / NB-IoT)
* High-speed or sensitive analogue layout techniques
* EMC mitigation techniques and pre-compliance testing
* Experience taking products through certification and into mass production
What’s Offered
* Technically focused role with real ownership of hardware design
* Opportunity to work on complex, production IoT systems
* Hybrid working from a York-based engineering team
* Competitive salary and benefits
* Long-term product roadmap and stable engineering environment
This role would suit an Electronics Engineer who enjoys hands-on hardware design, solving real engineering problems, and delivering reliable connected products into production.
