Electronic Design Engineer

The Role

As a Principal-level Electronics Design Engineer, you will provide technical expertise and leadership across a range of electronic design projects. You will work closely with engineering and cross-functional teams to develop reliable, efficient and innovative solutions that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

You will also have the opportunity to mentor and support other engineers, helping to develop technical capability and promote best practice across the engineering function.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development and optimisation of analogue electronics, power systems and SMPS technologies.
• Develop LED lighting control and power management systems.
• Provide technical leadership, guidance and mentorship to other engineers.
• Oversee the integration of control systems, HMI and LED lighting solutions into products.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate power electronics, control electronics and digital systems.
• Lead troubleshooting activities involving power conversion, EMC, thermal management and system-level integration.
• Develop and improve component and system-level designs in line with regulatory and customer requirements.
• Create, review and approve technical documentation, including circuit designs, PCB layouts, test procedures and product specifications.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and promote technical excellence.
• Research and evaluate emerging electronic technologies and design methods.

About You

The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in electronics design, with particular expertise in analogue electronics, power systems and switch-mode power conversion.

You will also have:

• Extensive experience with analogue electronics, power systems and SMPS.
• A broad understanding of electronic circuit design.
