Electronic Design Engineer
Location: Newcastle
Salary: Up to £50,000
The role
This is a broad, hands-on role covering the whole hardware development lifecycle. You'll start with concept and circuit design, then move through prototyping and testing, and on to supporting production.
You'll be part of a small, agile team and work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to deliver fully integrated devices. You'll have real influence over design decisions as the product range grows. The role suits someone who enjoys variety, is happy to take on different kinds of work, and wants the autonomy of working in a small team.
Key responsibilities
- Design and develop electronic hardware for new automation products
- Carry out schematic capture and PCB layout for mixed-signal, sensor and control designs
- Build and test prototypes, then diagnose and fix any hardware issues
- Work with firmware and mechanical engineers to deliver fully integrated products
- Design for manufacture in preparation for scaling up production
- Support EMC and safety compliance and certification as products move into production
