About this job

We’re looking for a Senior Electronic Design Engineer to join a specialist team working on the design and development of advanced material characterisation technologies. You’ll be a key contributor throughout the product lifecycle – from initial concept through to final production – ensuring high standards of performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Working closely with scientists and multidisciplinary teams, you’ll apply your expertise in low-level analogue design, signal processing, and PCB development to bring new products to life and improve existing systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Design complex analogue and digital circuits for low noise instrumentation applications
  • Carry out design verification and validation testing
  • Solve cross-disciplinary technical problems with innovative solutions
  • Take part in peer reviews, failure mode analysis, and risk mitigation planning
  • Work hands-on to test and troubleshoot PCBAs
  • Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and other technical teams throughout the design process
  • Propose and implement new technology concepts for product development
  • Support the development of efficient, cost-effective, and manufacturable designs

Candidate Profile:

  • Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or related discipline)
  • 7+ years’ recent experience in electronic design within a high-tech environment
  • Strong background in analogue signal processing and low noise design
  • Hands-on experience with multilayer PCB design and testing
  • Familiarity with OrCAD, Altium, or similar CAD tools
  • Confident using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, DVMs, etc.
  • Understanding of IPC standards and PCB manufacturing processes
