Electronics Engineer

We are working with a specialist engineering business that designs and manufactures advanced electronic systems used in safety-critical applications. Due to sustained growth and increasing demand, they are looking to add an experienced Electronics Engineer to a small, highly capable engineering team, where you'd be involved in the full product development life-cycle of their new systems. The Role This is a hands-on engineering role with real technical ownership. You will take responsibility for electronic systems across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to testing, validation, and in-service support. Typical responsibilities include: * Owning electronic system designs for one or more products * Working at system level, not just component level * Reviewing and assessing schematics and designs * Leading and contributing to design reviews * Supporting new product development (approx. 70%) * Supporting existing products, troubleshooting and production improvements (approx. 30%) * Working closely with mechanical engineers, software specialists, and production teams * Contributing to safety analysis and safety cases for critical systems * Involvement in environmental, qualification, and field testing This is not a project management role, but you will naturally lead technical activity and act as a point of authority for your products. Technical Environment * Microcontroller-based electronics * Some analogue design * Safety-critical engineering and analysis * Altium for schematic review and light design work * PCB layout largely supported by external partners * Embedded C at a review and understanding level (not a pure software role) About You You will be an experienced electronics engineer who has worked on real products and understands how systems come together end-to-end. This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving, and being close to the hardware. You are likely to have: * A degree in Electronics or a closely related discipline * Industry experience in electronic product development * Strong schematic understanding and system-level thinking * Confidence leading technical discussions and reviews * A proactive, solutions-focused approach * Comfort working in a small, collaborative team Experience in defence, aerospace, rail, nuclear, or other safety-critical sectors is beneficial but not essential. Security The role is likely to require SC clearance. Candidates must be eligible, but clearance can be sponsored by the company. Package & Working Pattern * Salary up to £60,000 DOE * Bonus scheme * Private healthcare * Pension * 25 days holiday * Flexible working hours * Predominantly on-site due to the nature of the work, with reasonable ad-hoc flexibility For more information on this role, please apply ASAP to avoid disappointment
