Working as part of a collaborative multidisciplinary engineering team, you'll play a key role in the design and development of next-generation embedded display systems used across industrial and marine applications. This is a genuine opportunity to influence products from initial concept through to production, helping shape the future direction of both hardware design and engineering best practice.
Based in Poole, the company combines the agility of a UK engineering team with the backing of an established international manufacturing organisation, giving engineers the opportunity to work on innovative products with global reach.
The Role
This is a hands-on design position where you'll take ownership of complex electronic hardware development, working closely with software, mechanical and product teams throughout the full product lifecycle.
From refining product requirements through to design validation and production readiness, you'll be involved in every stage of development, ensuring robust, manufacturable and high-performance solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Design electronic hardware solutions for embedded display products and custom customer applications
Develop complex schematics and multilayer PCB layouts using Altium Designer
Design high-performance single board computer hardware using modern SoC architectures
Work closely with Product Managers to refine technical requirements and product specifications
Optimise designs for performance, manufacturability and cost
Develop test plans and support regulatory compliance activities including EMC
Perform hardware validation, testing and debugging to component level
Participate in technical design reviews and contribute to engineering best practice
Produce and maintain technical documentation throughout the development lifecycle
Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers during board bring-up and system integration
