About the role
Based onsite at our Melbourn, (just south of Cambridge) offices, you'll join a perfectly formed collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering team. This isn't just another design job. You'll take concepts from high level requirements through to real world, manufacturable products. You'll be trusted, supported, and encouraged to innovate.
Responsibilities
* Lead and contribute to a wide range of electronics development activities, including
* Designing electronics from objective or system level requirements, selecting components, refining requirements, capturing schematics, and supporting PCBA layout
* Developing and executing test plans, prototyping, and validating new designs at the bench
* Working closely with software and mechanical teams to ensure seamless integration
* Supporting design for manufacture efforts, including test fixtures and manufacturing test requirements Playing a key role in transferring designs smoothly into production
Qualifications
* Experience designing electronics with embedded systems and mixed-signal designs
* Confident using Altium Designer
* Strong understanding of embedded system design approaches (SPI, I2C, DDR memory, DACs, ADCs)
* Knowledge of power supply design, including switch mode supplies
* Experience with mechatronic interfaces (DC motors, feedback sensors)
* Appreciation of PCB layout principles
Desirable experience
* IVD or medical devices, ideally ISO13485 or similar regulated environment
* Low noise analogue or optoelectronics
* EMC design and test exposure
* Familiarity with embedded software (C/C++)
* Experience transferring products into manufacture or developing test strategies
What success looks like
You'll thrive if you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and taking ownership of your designs. This is a fast paced environment where 'right first time' design is valued, but you'll have supportive and experienced colleagues around you who all work together to solve problems.
How you'll grow
* Support transfer to manufacture of our current platform
* Help shape the next generation instrument from the ground up
* Take design authority for key technical areas as you grow
* Work alongside leading scientists, engineers, and a highly experienced leadership team
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 10% (+3% personal contribution)
* Private Medical Insurance
* Life insurance
* 25 days' annual holiday plus bank holidays
* Discounts and memberships to local sports facilities and the theatre
