Electronic Design Engineer
A small, well-established electronics design consultancy is looking for an all-round Electronic Engineer to join its team on a 4-month contract. You'll work on a wide variety of client projects, taking designs from concept through schematic and PCB layout to prototype and test. It's a hands-on role where you'll see projects end to end rather than working on one narrow piece.
ROLE: Electronic Design Engineer
LOCATION: Staverton, Gloucestershire
RATE: up to £65ph (outside IR35)
DURATION: 3-4 months initial
What you'll be doing
- Designing analogue and digital circuits across a range of client products
- Schematic capture and PCB layout in KiCad
- Component selection, BOMs and working with PCB manufacturers and assemblers
- Building, testing and debugging prototypes on the bench
- Writing design documentation and supporting clients through to production
Essential skills for the Electronic Design Engineer are:
- Hands-on experience with KiCad for schematic capture and PCB layout
- Good all-round electronics knowledge: analogue, digital and mixed-signal design
- Confident with bench equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, soldering and rework
- Experience taking boards from design through to working prototype
- A practical, flexible approach suited to a small team and varied projects
- Degree or HND in Electronic Engineering, or equivalent experience
Nice to have
- Microcontroller firmware in C (e.g. STM32, PIC, Nordic)
- Design for EMC and compliance testing (CE/UKCA)
- Circuit simulation (e.g. LTspice)
- Consultancy or client-facing experience
Work is predominantly on-site in Cheltenham. Some remote working (1-2 days per week) is available. Working hours can be flexible
