Electronics Engineer

The Electronics Engineer designs, develops and supports state-of-the-art analogue and digital electronic instrumentation for challenging measurement and control applications. Responsible for hardware and firmware development, the role contributes across the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept and design through schematic design, PCB layout, firmware implementation, testing, validation, manufacture and field support. Working with multidisciplinary teams, the Electronics Engineer drives continuous product improvement, resolves complex technical challenges and delivers innovative, reliable instrumentation that meets strict customer, safety, regulatory and business requirements while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.

Responsibilities/Accountabilities:

• Design, develop and validate analogue signal conditioning and digital electronic instrumentation for precision measurement and control applications.
• Write, debug and maintain low-level embedded firmware for 32-bit microcontrollers.
• Support products throughout the full lifecycle, driving continuous improvement, technical problem-solving and successful product delivery.

Planning, Organising and Collaboration:

• Plan and prioritise engineering activities to meet project milestones, quality standards and business objectives.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, software, quality and project management to deliver fully integrated, robust products.

Complexity:

• Solve complex technical challenges involving electronic hardware, embedded firmware and system integration.
• Balance technical performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability and regulatory compliance throughout product development.

Freedom to Act:

• Operate with autonomy on assigned tasks, taking ownership of engineering decisions and technical solutions.
• Exercise engineering judgement while identifying and escalating significant technical or commercial risks where appropriate.

People:

• Build effective working relationships across multidisciplinary engineering and operational teams.
• Provide technical guidance and knowledge sharing to colleagues and support the development of junior engineers where required.

Qualifications/Experience:

• Degree in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience designing analogue and digital electronic systems including schematic capture and PCB layout and routing.
• Hands-on experience developing system architectures utilising 32-bit microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M), low-power peripherals, and power management circuits.
• Familiarity developing low-level embedded firmware, interfacing peripherals (e.g., ADC) and implementing communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART).
• Knowledge of product lifecycle management and design for manufacture.
• Awareness of industrial standards and compliance applicable to electronic equipment (e.g., EMC Directive).
• Strong understanding of analogue and digital circuit design, low-level embedded systems, testing and verification techniques.
• Knowledge of product development processes, reliability engineering and relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Application:

• Apply engineering design principles and industry best practice to develop innovative, reliable instrumentation solution for measurement and control systems.
• Use technical expertise to investigate root causes, implement product improvements and support manufacturing and field issues.
