Overview
We are currently working with a global technology business to recruit an Embedded Electronics Design Engineer for its R and D team in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with experience in embedded systems, electronics design and firmware development to work on innovative technology used in advanced industrial applications worldwide.
The role combines embedded C, microcontroller development, electronic hardware design, PCB design, analogue and digital electronics, power electronics and product development.
You will work across the full product lifecycle, from initial specification and design through to prototyping, testing, production support and continuous product improvement.
This role would suit an engineer who enjoys working across both hardware and firmware and wants to develop their career within a technically diverse, hands-on R and D environment.
You do not need to be an expert in every technology listed below. The key requirement is a strong foundation in embedded systems, Embedded C and electronics design, together with the enthusiasm to develop across the wider product development lifecycle.
