Location: Hampshire area, UK South engineering hub - 2 days a week onsite
Salary: up to 65,000 plus discretionary performance bonus
This is not a maintenance role and it is not a box ticking design job. This is a hands on engineering position building complex electronics that operate in demanding subsea environments where reliability is everything and failure is not an option.
You will be joining a specialist engineering team developing advanced electronic hardware used in underwater acoustic systems, navigation instruments, velocity measurement tools and data logging platforms. The work is varied, technically deep and constantly evolving.
What you will be doing
You will take ownership of electronics design across both analogue and digital domains, contributing directly to new product development and improvements on existing systems. You will be expected to think like an engineer who understands the full lifecycle from concept through to production support.
Core responsibilities include
* Designing analogue and digital electronics with a strong focus on low power and low noise performance
* Working with programmable logic devices and microprocessor based systems
* Supporting EMC design compliance and assisting with testing against relevant industry standards
* Writing and maintaining embedded firmware in C with exposure to C plus plus on microcontroller platforms
* Diagnosing and resolving hardware and embedded software faults in live systems
* Leading technical design reviews and challenging design choices to ensure the best engineering solution is selected
* Producing clear and detailed technical documentation to support manufacturing and future development
* Supporting production teams and ensuring smooth transition from design into build
What good looks like in this role
You are not just a designer. You are someone who understands trade offs, questions assumptions, and pushes for better technical outcomes. You stay current with tools, methods and industry direction, and you are comfortable working independently while still contributing strongly within a team environment.
Skills and experience required
* Strong electronics design background across analogue and digital circuits
* Experience with programmable logic and microprocessor based development
* Practical understanding of EMC principles and compliance requirements
* Competence in embedded C development
* Basic working knowledge of object oriented programming principles
* Ability to use PCB design tools and interpret complex schematics
* Strong documentation discipline and attention to engineering detail
* Degree educated in electronic engineering or similar discipline, typically two one or above
What is on offer
* 25 days holiday plus public holidays with option to purchase additional leave
* Two additional company paid festive leave days
* Flexible working including hybrid arrangements, part time options and nine day fortnight
* Health cash plan, pension, life assurance and income protection
