Electronic Engineer

Job description

Ready to design the electronics behind world-class precision technology?

We’re looking for a talented Electronic Engineer to join an advanced UK Technology Hub in Maidenhead. This is a rare opportunity to work on the design and delivery of bespoke, high-precision machinery and instrumentation for a globally respected organisation with over a century of engineering innovation. You’ll be working on real machines and physical systems, not consumer gadgets or pure software.

Location: Maidenhead, UK

Working pattern: 3 days on-site / 2 days remote

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and deliver electronic systems from concept through to production.
• Create multi-layer PCB designs and schematics using Altium Designer.
• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based systems.
• Design and implement motor control systems (stepper, DC, AC, servo, or BLDC) for precision machinery.
• Build, test, debug, and validate hardware in a hands-on environment.
• Ensure designs meet EMC, safety, and regulatory compliance requirements (training provided if needed).
• Collaborate with mechanical, software, and automation engineers.
• Support technical leadership and mentoring of junior engineers.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree (BEng/BSc or higher) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar, OR equivalent practical experience
• Strong, hands-on background in hardware and multi-layer PCB design
• Proficiency with Altium Designer (or strong PCB design tool experience with willingness to learn Altium)
• Experience with embedded C (C++ is a plus) and microcontrollers
• Practical experience with motor control (stepper, DC, AC, servo, or BLDC)
• Comfortable owning work across the full product development lifecycle

Desirable:

• Awareness of EMC, safety standards, and compliance
• Ability to provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers
• Experience with multiple motor types

✨ Why This Role?

• Work on high-precision, real-world engineering problems.
• Design electronics that directly power complex, bespoke machinery.
• Be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary R&D environment.
• Combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership.
• Build technology that makes a genuine global impact.

If you’re a hands-on electronics engineer who enjoys building and owning real hardware, we’d love to hear from you.
