Electronics Engineer

You'll own the electronics from schematic and PCB design through bring-up, testing, certification and manufacturing.

You'll work across analogue, digital, power, wireless and safety-critical electronics, including gas-control circuitry, while working closely with software, engineering, suppliers and manufacturing.

What you'll own

  • Schematics and multi-layer PCB layout in Altium
  • Analogue and power design, including high-voltage circuits, protection and drivers
  • Safety-critical gas ignition and flame-sensing circuitry
  • High-speed interfaces including Ethernet, HDMI, LVDS, USB and SDIO
  • Bluetooth/Wi-Fi integration and antenna layout
  • SoM and MCU selection
  • Thermal, EMC, grounding and signal-integrity design
  • DFM/DFT, production test fixtures and automation
  • BOMs, wiring diagrams and cable harnesses
  • Prototyping, soldering, rework, board bring-up and debugging
  • Supplier relationships and certification evidence

Who we're looking for

You'll ideally have 5+ years' experience taking electronics from design through to certified, manufactured boards.

You'll bring:

  • Strong schematic and multi-layer PCB design experience, ideally Altium
  • Strong analogue and power electronics skills
  • High-voltage and safety-critical circuit experience
  • High-speed digital design and signal-integrity knowledge
  • DFM/DFT and production test experience
  • BOM, wiring and harness experience
  • Hands-on prototyping, soldering, rework and board bring-up
  • Strong fault-finding and root-cause debugging skills

A 2:1 or above degree in electronics, electrical engineering or a related discipline is preferred, although exceptional candidates without this background will be considered.

What you'll know

Ideally, you'll also have experience with:

  • Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antenna integration and radio compliance
  • SoM/MCU selection
  • EMC and grounding
  • Thermal management
  • Safe high-voltage/mains working
  • Electronics certification and compliance
  • Production test and manufacturing requirements

The person behind the experience

We're looking for someone who wants to join early and help build something.

You'll be comfortable in a fast-moving environment where processes are still being developed. You'll take ownership, solve problems from first principles, get hands-on with hardware and care about getting things right.

You won't wait for someone else to solve a problem. You'll find the root cause, make a decision and get it done.
