An industry leader in high-precision instrumentation is seeking an experienced and hands-on Electronics Design Engineer to join its innovative, multi-disciplinary engineering team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the complete design and development of complex electronic systems, supporting the creation of cutting-edge technology solutions used across critical industries.

This is a key engineering role involving hands-on PCB design, analogue/digital electronics development, and close interaction with firmware, software, and mechanical design teams throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end design of complex, multi-layer PCBs, with proficiency in analogue and digital circuit design, using Cadence OrCAD and Allegro PCB Editor.

• Design bespoke, high-precision test and machine probing cabling using DraftSight or AutoCAD, supporting signal ranges from microvolts to 15kV and femtoamps to 100A.

• Create and manage engineering documentation including BOMs, ECOs, and build instructions, ensuring traceability and adherence to ISO-compliant processes.

• Develop custom circuit solutions to meet specific customer requirements while leveraging a modular platform architecture.

• Conduct fault diagnosis and remediation on legacy products, contributing to continuous product improvement.

• Maintain product compliance with CE, EMC, and UL standards, and manage equipment certification for EU conformity.

• Collaborate on R&D initiatives, from proof of concept to production-ready designs, supporting innovation and time-to-market goals.

• Support production teams with debugging, quality control, and test fixture development, ensuring robust and scalable manufacturing.

• Work closely with firmware/software engineers, integrating embedded microcontroller-based systems and developing or supporting firmware in C/C++.

• Liaise with sales and application engineers to translate customer specifications into viable, cost-effective electrical designs.

• Contribute to internal risk assessments, ensuring health & safety and electrical regulation compliance.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Degree-qualified in Electronics Engineering or a related field.

• Strong background in analogue/digital design, including high-speed digital circuitry and mixed-signal environments.

• Experience with microprocessor/microcontroller-based systems, including low-level firmware development (C/C++).

• Familiar with stepper motor drive design and power supply topologies.

• Hands-on experience with lab test equipment (e.g., Keithley, Tektronix, Keysight).

• Proven ability to produce high-quality technical documentation.

Desirable:

• Experience in semiconductor, precision instrumentation, or RF-aware hardware environments.

• Understanding of EMC design principles, signal integrity, and PCB layout for noise reduction.

• Familiarity with CE, UL certification, and regulatory compliance standards.

Key Attributes:

• Methodical and highly organised with a practical, solutions-driven mindset.

• Strong team collaborator with clear, confident communication skills.

• Self-motivated and adaptable, able to manage multiple priorities.

• Creative, resourceful, and able to take initiative when resolving technical challenges.

This role offers the chance to work on complex, precision-engineered products in a collaborative and technically rich environment. Ideal for engineers with a passion for electronics and a desire to see their designs come to life from concept to deployment.
