Engineering Coordination and Manufacturing Support

• Act as the day-to-day point of contact for contract manufacturers and assembly partners, fielding queries as boards are built and escalating where needed.
• Liaise with engineering and operations colleagues across the Focusrite Group companies.
• Manage engineering change requests through to resolution, and maintain version control for circuit board designs and documentation.
• Run a clear ticketing and tracking process so that requested changes, queries, and issues are visible and nothing is lost.
• Monitor component obsolescence and lifecycle notices, identify and qualify alternatives, and keep bills of materials accurate and current.
• Support sourcing activity: requesting quotes, comparing options, and chasing lead times.

Documentation and Product Support

• Maintain accurate engineering records: drawings, revisions, change history, and test results.
• Support compliance and certification activity alongside group resources and external labs.
• Help diagnose field issues on returned units and feed findings back into design.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• A degree in Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline - or equivalent practical grounding gained through an apprenticeship, technician role, or serious self-directed work.
• Confident understanding of electronics fundamentals: you can read a schematic, follow a signal path, and reason about a circuit using the underlying principles and equations.
• Practical competence with lab basics - multimeter, oscilloscope, soldering iron.
• The organisation to keep multiple open tasks moving without dropping one.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication.
• The temperament to enjoy this kind of work. The satisfaction here comes from a build that goes smoothly and a product that ships, as much as from the design itself.

Desirable

• Any exposure to schematic capture or PCB layout tools (Altium, KiCad, or similar), whether professional, academic, or personal.
• Mechanical CAD experience using tools like SolidWorks.
• Analogue circuit knowledge, particularly audio.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, PCB assembly, or supply chain work.
• Experience of a structured change control, ticketing, or documentation system.
• Interest in audio, music technology, or live sound.

Where This Role Goes

We are hiring with a long view. The intention is to develop this position into a senior engineering role over the coming years, with a growing contribution to our advanced audio circuit design work.

What that means in practice:

• You will have named senior engineers responsible for supporting and reviewing your work, and regular time set aside for that.
• Your design content grows as your capability does. We expect the balance to shift meaningfully toward design work over your first few years.
• We support relevant training, professional development, and chartership where it fits your goals.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Unusual breadth of exposure for an early-career engineer: design, manufacture, supply chain, and product support, on real products used at world-class venues and events.
• Mentoring from experienced audio hardware engineers, and access to specialist expertise across the Focusrite Group.
• Collaborative, creative environment within a family of respected music and audio technology brands.
• A vibrant workspace in Tileyard, King's Cross - London's hub for music, technology, and creativity.
