Senior Electronics Engineer

Description:

Senior Electronics Engineer - Dorset 

Ever wanted your circuit designs to end up thousands of feet underground, doing a job nothing else can?

We're recruiting on behalf of a global leader in the innovation and development of wireless subsurface communication technology, used by energy companies around the world during exploration and production. Since the late 1980s, this business has stayed at the forefront of its niche, and its Dorset-based Research Centre is where the next generation of that technology gets designed, tested, and proven.

This is a genuinely hands-on role in a small, close-knit, multidisciplinary R&D team. You won't be a cog in a huge machine, you'll be one of a handful of engineers whose fingerprints are on every product that leaves the building.

What is in it for you:

Salary up to £65,000, depending on experience

33 days holiday, rising with long service, plus long-service awards

Private healthcare, life insurance, and strong company pension contributions

A culture built on teamwork and genuinely empowering engineers to make a difference

Real ownership of your designs, from first sketch to field deployment

Office based with flexibility 

What you will be doing:

Designing electronics for both surface and downhole tools, analysis, schematic capture, and simulation

Developing and investigating high-reliability components and packaging solutions built to survive extreme environments

Planning and running qualification testing on new designs and technology

Writing clear engineering reports, build procedures, and design documentation

Getting properly hands-on at the bench, debugging, circuit analysis, and validation with a scope and power supply

Supporting internal teams and external customers on technical queries

To be considered you will have:

A degree in Electronic Engineering

A strong grounding in analogue design, instrumentation, and low-noise techniques 

Solid, demonstrable experience in electronic design

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the communication skills to match

Comfortable adapting to a fast-paced, pragmatic development environment 

Low-power electronics design experience

Experience with IC packaging and test, or high-temperature electronics

PCB layout experience
