Senior Electronics Design Engineer

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Senior Electronics Design Engineer who wants more ownership, more variety and the opportunity to genuinely lead projects from concept through to production?

This is a chance to join an innovative UK electronics design business supporting major OEMs across sectors including Automotive, Clean Energy, Communications, Defence & Aerospace, Medical, Scientific Research and Space.

This isn't simply a design role where you're handed a specification and asked to deliver a piece of hardware. As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer, you'll take ownership of projects, work directly with clients, decide how the engineering challenge should be approached, get hands-on with the design yourself and provide technical direction to the wider engineering team.

You'll work alongside Electronics, PCB, Mechanical and Software Engineers, giving you exposure to the complete product lifecycle – from initial customer enquiry, requirements capture and quotation through to design, testing and manufacturing.

The role is primarily remote, but you'll need to be within comfortable travelling distance of Dunstable, Bedfordshire. The business has a dedicated electronics laboratory on site, and you'll occasionally need to be there for hardware build, bring-up, testing, integration and fault finding. Some customer-site travel may also be required.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer, you'll be trusted to take projects and run with them, balancing technical delivery, client expectations, timescales and budget.

Your responsibilities will include:

*

Owning electronics design projects from initial enquiry and requirements capture through to production handover.

*

Working directly with clients to understand, challenge and translate requirements into clear technical specifications.

*

Defining project scope, estimating engineering effort and identifying the resources and skills required.

*

Providing technical direction to Electronics and PCB Engineers, allocating work and reviewing outputs.

*

Acting as the day-to-day technical contact for clients, managing progress, scope, change and expectations.

*

Carrying out hands-on hardware design, simulation, prototype bring-up, testing and fault finding.
