Senior Electronic Engineer

Job description

We are seeking an experienced Analogue Electronics Engineer to take a technical lead role in the creation and delivery of complex electronic designs. This position offers hands‑on involvement throughout the entire product development cycle, from shaping early concepts through to integrating and validating finished hardware.

The contract is outside IR35, initial 6 months, hybrid (circa 3 days onsite).

Although many projects support defence‑focused equipment and secure systems, applicants with relevant knowledge from similarly demanding, high‑integrity sectors are strongly encouraged to apply.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering group, you'll apply your specialist analogue hardware expertise to guide design decisions and ensure robust, high‑quality outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Interpreting and analysing customer‑level requirements to define suitable hardware approaches
• Producing and modifying electronic architectures and detailed circuit designs
• Using simulation and modelling tools to verify behaviour and support test‑bench creation
• Participating in peer and formal design reviews
• Maintaining strong configuration control across hardware artefacts
• Supporting hardware bring‑up, integration and system‑level commissioning
• Collaborating with manufacturing and test teams during build, debug and verification stages

Experience/expertise:

• Strong background in analogue circuit design (e.g., amplifiers, oscillators, filtering, low‑noise and precision circuits)
• Understanding of signal integrity, EMC considerations, and good hardware layout practices
• Knowledge of mixed‑signal design and experience with ADCs, DACs, and associated interfaces
• Experience in designing and reviewing power supply and power‑management circuitry
• Confident use of lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and related tools
• Ability to define, document, and verify hardware against clear requirement sets
• Familiarity with creating and modifying analogue and digital hardware modules
• Hands‑on involvement in system‑level commissioning and troubleshooting
• Experience supporting the transition of designs into production and test environments
• Exposure to development frameworks or guidelines similar to RTCA/DO‑254 (or equivalent high‑integrity hardware processes)
• Current Security Clearance would be beneficial, eligibility for SC is essential

Initial 6 months, outside IR35, hybrid (circa 3 days onsite). If it sounds like an ideal opportunity, apply for immediate consideration.
