Visa Sponsorship: Available for the right candidate

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Electronics Engineer to join a long-established, world-leading technology business specialising in the design and manufacture of high-performance electronic systems for demanding operational environments.

Its technologies support precision measurement, long-range wireless telemetry, situational awareness and high-integrity sensing in extreme subsea environments, serving critical applications across offshore energy, marine environmental science and naval defence.

This is a varied, hands-on engineering role combining analogue and digital hardware design, embedded C/C++ firmware and FPGA architectures.

Alongside new product development, you will take technical ownership of existing systems and legacy or transferred technologies, investigating complex faults, resolving design and documentation issues, and ensuring products meet robust manufacturing and performance standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware & Embedded Design: Develop, review and refine analogue circuits, digital electronics, embedded C/C++ firmware and FPGA logic.

• System Diagnostics & Fault-Finding: Investigate complex technical issues across hardware, firmware, interface timing and system-level data communications.

• Technical Ownership: Take responsibility for existing designs, source code and transferred technologies, ensuring long-term reliability and maintainability.

• Specialist Electronics: Investigate signal quality, noise performance and timing integrity across precision sensor systems, wireless communications and electro-optical interfaces.

• Manufacturing & Test: Develop and improve diagnostic tools, automated test fixtures and verification procedures to support reliable, repeatable production.

Candidate Profile & Requirements Essential

• A 2:1 degree or higher in Electronic Engineering, Physics or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Strong experience in analogue and digital electronics design, particularly low-noise signal processing and low-power systems.

• Proficiency in embedded C/C++, including the ability to read, debug and refactor existing code.

• Good understanding of FPGA design, interface logic, timing constraints and data handling.

• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills, including experience with ADCs, precision timing circuits, clocks and standard serial communication protocols.

Desirable

• Experience with electro-optical systems, free-space optical communications, optical transceivers or high-bandwidth data links.

• PCB design and schematic capture using Altium Designer, including DFM, DFT and signal integrity considerations.

• Python scripting for automated testing, diagnostics or data processing.

• Experience supporting products through verification, production readiness and long-term lifecycle maintenance.

What's on Offer?

• The opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-reliability electronic systems.

• Exposure to board-level analogue electronics, high-speed digital logic, real-time embedded firmware and electro-optics.

• The chance to contribute to mission-critical technology operating in extreme deep-sea environments.

• A predominantly on-site engineering role within a dedicated R&D and laboratory environment.

• No offshore travel, offshore training or offshore medical requirements.

• Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate.
