Reporting to: Engineering Project Manager
We are seeking a highly organised and technically capable Electronics Engineer with proven experience in designing, developing, and supporting electronic systems within regulated or safety-critical environments. The ideal candidate will have hands-on exposure to PCB design, embedded electronics, control systems, and the full engineering lifecycle from concept through to production and in-service support.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and validate electronic assemblies including control units, lighting systems, sensor interfaces, and embedded hardware.
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and update existing electronic designs, ensuring continued compliance and manufacturability.
- Produce schematics, layouts, and manufacturing data for new and updated PCB designs.
- Integrate and test communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, or similar fieldbus technologies.
- Create and maintain engineering documentation including BOMs, wiring diagrams, test procedures, and design reports.
- Support prototype assembly, bring-up, debugging, and verification activities.
- Work closely with suppliers, PCB manufacturers, and assembly partners to resolve technical queries and ensure build quality.
- Manage engineering change requests (ECRs) and maintain configuration control across all hardware.
- Ensure designs meet relevant electrical, EMC, environmental, and safety standards.
- Contribute to process improvements across design, testing, and documentation workflows.
- Work closely with mechanical, software, and production teams to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions.
- Diagnose complex hardware issues and drive them to resolution with clear, traceable documentation.
