Job Description Summary
As a global leader in life sciences research support, STEMCELL Technologies is looking for an Electronics Engineer to join our Instrumentation UK engineering team. In this role, you will play a key role in supporting the continued manufacture, performance, and evolution of our innovative cell sorting instruments, while also contributing to the development of our next generation of instrumentation.
As an Electronics Engineer, your initial priority will be sustaining engineering for our existing cell sorting platform, investigating technical and manufacturing issues, implementing design improvements, and supporting the product throughout its lifecycle. Alongside this, you will contribute to the design, development, and transfer to manufacture of next-generation instrumentation as our product portfolio evolves.
Job Description
Duties and Responsibilities
- Support ongoing product improvement and lead or support electronics-related quality investigations through problem investigation, root-cause analysis, design change, verification, and implementation into manufacture
- Own and deliver sustaining engineering activities including management of component obsolescence, substitutions, supplier support, product lifetime improvements, and cost reductions
- Contribute to new product design, development, and transfer to manufacture, including prototype builds, design verification, engineering documentation, and design transfer
- Design, simulate, and test analogue and digital electronics within complex scientific instrumentation, including low-noise optical front-ends, ADCs, FPGAs, photodetectors, precise motor control, and embedded processors
- Integrate board-level communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB, and NFC
- Collaborate with software teams to support board bring-up using embedded C/C++ or VHDL/Verilog
- Develop schematics and multi-layer, mixed-signal PCB layouts in Altium Designer, ensuring strict control over signal integrity, grounding, and EMC
- Ensure new designs and engineering changes consider applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory requirements, including standards such as IEC 61010, IEC 61326, and EN 301 489
