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.
