The Role
We are currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join an established engineering and technology business delivering bespoke electronic solutions for a range of OEM customers.
This is a hands-on design position focused on technically challenging hardware projects. The successful candidate will take ownership of designs from initial concept through to a proven, manufacturable product, working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams.
The role will cover the full product lifecycle, including requirements, architecture, circuit design, PCB development, testing, validation and production.
This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who wants to remain technically hands-on, rather than move into a predominantly management-focused position.
