Hastings area, East Sussex Office-Based
An established and growing technology business specialising in sophisticated scientific and industrial imaging systems is seeking an Electronics Design Engineer to join its R&D team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with 2–3+ years’ industry experience (post academia) who enjoys working across hardware and embedded systems, taking products from concept through to production.
The Role - Electronics Design Engineer
Working within a small, multidisciplinary R&D team, you will design, develop, test and support electronic and firmware solutions for advanced imaging products used in demanding scientific and industrial applications. This will involve working from initial schematic capture and PCB layout, through prototype bring-up and verification, to supporting transition into manufacture.
Typical involvements: Electronics Design Engineer
* Design analogue and digital (mixed-signal) electronic circuits, schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium Designer preferred), prototype assembly, board bring-up and fault finding
* FPGA firmware development (VHDL), and Embedded C development
* Support production, manufacturing queries and returned unit investigations
* Contribute to DFMEA / FMEA activities and support DFM / DFA considerations
Essential Experience - Electronics Design Engineer
* Degree, HND/HNC or equivalent in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, with at least 2-3 years’ commercial electronics design experience, including FPGA design (using VHDL)
* Strong mixed-signal design capability (analogue and digital electronics design)
* Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout
* Confident practical electronics skills (debugging, oscilloscope use, prototype development)
* Structured and methodical approach to engineering development
Desirable (beneficial skills)
* Experience with camera, sensor or imaging-based hardware systems
* Embedded C programming for microprocessor based systems
* Awareness of DFM, DFA and long-term product support considerations
* Experience working cross-functionally with mechanical, software or operations teams
Location - This is a full-time, office-based role in East Sussex. It is commutable from Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Tunbridge Wells, Haywards Heath, Crawley, Horsham, and Crowborough
This role would suit a well-rounded electronics engineer who enjoys practical development work and wants to contribute to technically challenging imaging products in a collaborative R&D environment.
Note: No relocation support or visa sponsorship available
