About the role

A top flight electronics team are seeking a talented Senior Electronics Engineer to join them due to growing demand for the company’s expertise. You’ll get to work on a variety of projects around high speed digital electronics, from instrumentation to rugged devices. They have top lab facilities on site including SMT pick-and-place.

The company has a focus on career development even for senior staff, encouraging skills development and opportunities for advancement. They’re keen to have a positive impact on society and offer flexible hours and a good work-life balance as well as highly competitive remuneration and comprehensive benefits.

For this role you’ll need:

  • Solid fundamental electronics design experience for commercial-grade PCBs, including schematics capture and PCB layout using EDA software such as Altium Designer, along with board bring-up and diagnostics.
  • Prior work with high speed digital design, including interfacing with PCI Express, modern DDRx memory standards, and comparable peripheral interfaces; and ideally work with PCBs hosting top end FPGAs (Xilinx / Altera).
  • Practical experience resolving DfT and EMC considerations.
  • A good degree in electronics, physics, maths or another technical subject, from a top university.

Supporting skills with Linux toolchains, Python scripting and VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog HDL are useful additions. Whilst only some projects may be defence-related – the company are keen that people get to enjoy working on a diversity of projects – applicants will still need to be able to obtain UK security clearance.

Contact ECM for further details or to discuss your salary requirements. Even if you don’t have exactly the background indicated, please get in touch if this type of job is of interest – we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
