The Role

This is a hands-on electronics design position, ideal for an engineer who enjoys taking designs from initial concept through to prototype, validation, and production. You'll work within a multidisciplinary team-collaborating with embedded software, mechanical, and production engineers-to deliver cutting-edge electronic systems for real-world industrial applications.

The role is fully on-site in Nottingham, giving you access to extensive lab facilities, test equipment, and a collaborative technical environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, and simulate hardware to achieve high first-pass success rates on new designs.
• Develop and manage complex electronic systems, including schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout (typically 2-8 layers, mixed-signal).
• Work across a wide range of technologies, including MCU/MPU, RF systems, DC-DC and AC-DC power, analog sensors, digital logic, FPGAs, and memory devices.
• Validate, test, and debug designs using lab tools; travel to external test facilities when required.
• Apply DFT, DFM, and DFP principles throughout the development and production lifecycle.
• Review designs against industry best practices and produce clear, high-quality documentation.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree (2:1 or higher) in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 4 years' experience in an electronic hardware design role.

Technical Skills

• Proficient with Altium Designer
• Experience with other eCAD tools (Eagle, KiCAD, Fusion, or PADS) is beneficial.
• Strong hands-on experience in hardware design, testing, and debugging using lab equipment.
• Familiar with IoT-style embedded systems and mixed-signal architectures.
• In-depth understanding of Design for Compliance (DfC), EMC, DFT, DFM, and DFP best practices.

What's on Offer

• £45,000 - £50,000 (depending on experience)
• Private health insurance for you and your immediate family
• Pension and life assurance schemes
• A supportive, technically driven environment
• The chance to work on cutting-edge electronic devices and systems with real-world industrial applications
