Electronics Design Engineer - Analogue

Analogue Electronics Design Engineer

Location: Gloucestershire

Permanent | Full-time | Monday-Friday

BMR Solutions are recruiting for an experienced Analogue Electronics Design Engineer to join an established specialist engineering business developing high-performance electronic products.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with genuine depth in analogue electronics who enjoys the complete design process - developing circuits, building and testing prototypes, solving problems at component level and ultimately seeing their designs introduced into manufacture.

The position offers considerable technical ownership, working on both new product development and the continued development of established product ranges.

The Role

Working within a multidisciplinary Engineering and R&D environment, you will be responsible for analogue electronic design from initial concept through to production.

Analogue circuit design and development

Schematic capture and PCB design/layout

Development of new products and existing product ranges

Prototype build, bench testing and component-level debugging

Component selection and BOM creation

SPICE simulation and circuit analysis

Power supply and power amplification design

Development of test jigs and production test procedures

Design feasibility studies, peer reviews and architecture reviews

Supporting EMC/EMI and product safety compliance

Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT)

Supporting new products through introduction into manufacture

Root-cause analysis of development, production and field issues

Liaising with suppliers, contract manufacturers and external test houses

Producing schematics, test plans, design reports and associated technical documentation

This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role. You should be equally comfortable developing a circuit at your desk and working at the bench with oscilloscopes, signal generators, multimeters and other electronic test equipment.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Electronics Design Engineer with a strong background in analogue circuit design.

Your experience is likely to include a combination of:

Operational amplifiers and discrete analogue circuit design

Low-noise analogue circuitry

Filter and signal conditioning circuit design

Power amplifier and output-stage design

Power supplies and power electronics

Balanced input and signal stages

MOSFET-based circuit design

Boost/Buck switched-mode regulators

Signal integrity

Frequency response and distortion analysis

SPICE simulation and analysis

SMT design and PCB layout

You should have strong practical electronics skills and be comfortable building prototypes, testing circuits, diagnosing problems and debugging down to component level.

Experience with PCB design/CAD packages such as Altium Designer, KiCad, PADS Pro or OrCAD would be relevant, particularly where you have taken your own designs through PCB development and into manufacture.

The successful candidate will be capable of managing their own design workload with minimal supervision while working closely with other engineering disciplines, production, purchasing and external suppliers.

Experience Required

Candidates should ideally be able to demonstrate:

Approximately five years or more commercial electronic circuit design experience

Strong analogue electronics design capability

Hands-on prototype development and testing

PCB design/layout experience

Component selection and circuit optimisation

Experience taking electronic products from development into production

Knowledge of EMC/EMI and relevant product safety considerations

Ability to interpret component datasheets, application notes and technical standards

Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills

A degree in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous but is not essential where candidates can demonstrate the required commercial design experience.

The Opportunity

This role will suit an engineer who wants to remain technically hands-on and have meaningful involvement throughout the complete product lifecycle.

You will have the opportunity to influence circuit design, PCB development, prototypes, testing, manufacturing introduction and subsequent product improvement rather than working on one isolated element of a larger engineering programme.

It is particularly suited to somebody who enjoys solving challenging analogue design problems and wants a position where strong fundamental electronics knowledge is valued.

Due to the confidential nature of the recruitment process, further information regarding the company and its products will be provided to suitable candidates following an initial discussion with BMR Solutions.

This vacancy is being advertised by BMR Solutions Ltd, a recruitment agency acting on behalf of its client. BMR Solutions Ltd is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Selection will be based on skills, experience and suitability for the role
