We are working with a specialist engineering business that designs and manufactures advanced electronic systems used in safety-critical applications.

Due to sustained growth and increasing demand, they are looking to add an experienced Electronics Engineer to a small, highly capable engineering team, where you'd be involved in the full product development life-cycle of their new systems.

The Role

This is a hands-on engineering role with real technical ownership. You will take responsibility for electronic systems across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to testing, validation, and in-service support.

Typical responsibilities include:

*

Owning electronic system designs for one or more products

*

Working at system level, not just component level

*

Reviewing and assessing schematics and designs

*

Leading and contributing to design reviews

*

Supporting new product development (approx. 70%)

*

Supporting existing products, troubleshooting and production improvements (approx. 30%)

*

Working closely with mechanical engineers, software specialists, and production teams

*

Contributing to safety analysis and safety cases for critical systems

*

Involvement in environmental, qualification, and field testing

This is not a project management role, but you will naturally lead technical activity and act as a point of authority for your products.

Technical Environment

*

Microcontroller-based electronics

*

Some analogue design

*

Safety-critical engineering and analysis

*

Altium for schematic review and light design work

*

PCB layout largely supported by external partners

*

Embedded C at a review and understanding level (not a pure software role)

About You

You will be an experienced electronics engineer who has worked on real products and understands how systems come together end-to-end. This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving, and being close to the hardware.

You are likely to have:

*

A degree in Electronics or a closely related discipline

*

Industry experience in electronic product development

*

Strong schematic understanding and system-level thinking

*

Confidence leading technical discussions and reviews

*

A proactive, solutions-focused approach

*

Comfort working in a small, collaborative team

Experience in defence, aerospace, rail, nuclear, or other safety-critical sectors is beneficial but not essential.

Security

The role is likely to require SC clearance. Candidates must be eligible, but clearance can be sponsored by the company.

Package & Working Pattern

*

Salary up to £60,000 DOE

*

Bonus scheme

*

Private healthcare

*

Pension

*

25 days holiday

*

Flexible working hours

*

Predominantly on-site due to the nature of the work, with reasonable ad-hoc flexibility
