Senior Electronic Engineer

Job Title: Senior Electronic Engineer

Our client is seeking a Senior Electronic Engineer to design, develop, and industrialise advanced electronic products within their Optronics product portfolio. This role requires an engineer who can act as a design authority for complex subsystems or functional areas, taking full accountability for technical performance across the entire product lifecycle, from concept and architecture through to qualification and production support.

The successful candidate will be expected to perform high-level engineering analysis, system-oriented design, simulation, prototyping, verification, and industrialisation, while working closely with system, mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering teams. This is not a support role, but a delivery and ownership role for engineers who can carry technical responsibility in a regulated, high-reliability product environment.

• Minimum 5 years; preferably 7 years' experience in electronic hardware development within a product development environment
• Proven experience taking designs from concept through to production
• Experience operating as a technical owner or design authority for subsystems or critical design areas (strongly preferred)
• Exposure to full product lifecycle engineering, including design reviews, industrialisation, and production support

• Strong grounding in electronic engineering fundamentals, including analogue, digital, and mixed-signal design
• Proven capability in engineering analysis, simulation, and design validation (e.g. SPICE, MATLAB, modelling tools)
• Experience with high-speed digital design, EMC/EMI design principles, and reliability engineering (e.g. derating, FMEA, HALT)
• Proficiency with CAD and PCB design tools (e.g. Altium Designer, HyperLynx or similar)
• Experience with FPGA/firmware toolchains (e.g. Vivado, ModelSim, Xilinx SDK, HDL tools)
• Strong competence in design documentation, configuration control, and engineering data pack creation
• Solid understanding of manufacturing technologies, test equipment, and industrialisation requirements
• Ability to define, maintain, and evolve engineering standards, libraries, and best practices

• Minimum BEng Electronic Engineering; Preferred BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering (or equivalent).
