KO2’s client, an innovative Nottingham-based technology company, is expanding its team and looking for an Electronics Engineer. The business develops bespoke electronic products and software solutions, and this role will play a key part in delivering the next generation of high-performance instrumentation.

The Role

This is a hands-on hardware design position suited to an engineer who enjoys owning projects from initial concept through to prototype build, validation, and final production. You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary engineering team—working closely with embedded software, mechanical, and production specialists—to create advanced electronic systems used in real-world industrial environments.

The role is fully on-site in Nottingham, giving you access to extensive laboratory facilities, test equipment, and a highly collaborative technical setup.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, and simulate hardware with a focus on achieving high first-pass success.
• Develop and maintain complex electronic systems, including schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout (typically 2–8 layers, mixed-signal).
• Work across diverse technologies: MCU/MPU, RF, DC-DC and AC-DC power, analogue sensing, digital logic, FPGAs, and memory devices.
• Validate, test, and debug hardware using lab equipment; occasional travel to external test facilities may be required.
• Review designs against industry best practices and produce clear, accurate technical documentation.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree (2:1 or above) in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 4 years’ experience in an electronic hardware design role.

Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency with Altium Designer.
• Experience with other eCAD tools (Eagle, KiCAD, Fusion, PADS) is an advantage.
• Solid hands-on skills in hardware design, testing, and debugging using standard lab equipment.
• Good understanding of IoT-style embedded systems and mixed-signal design.

What’s on Offer

• Salary: £40,000 – £60,000 (DOE)
• Private health insurance for you and your immediate family
• Pension and life assurance schemes
• A supportive, engineering-led working environment
• The chance to work on cutting-edge electronic systems deployed in real industrial applications

If you’re an experienced Electronics Engineer who wants to take ownership of complex hardware projects and contribute to innovative product development, this role offers an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking team.
