Lead or Senior Electronics Engineer
This is an exciting opportunity for a Lead or Senior Electronics Engineer to play a key role in the development of world-leading smart Dash Cam technology. You will design, simulate, debug and validate the electronic systems and circuits that power Nextbase products, helping to shape both current and future generations of connected in-car technology.
Working closely with hardware, software, product and manufacturing teams, you will solve complex engineering challenges, evaluate prototypes, improve product performance and support EMC compliance. You will also have the opportunity to influence technology decisions, develop novel solutions and see your work progress from concept through to mass production.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with engineering, product, production and supplier teams to evaluate Dash Cam prototypes, validate designs and improve product performance.
- Design and implement new technologies that will help shape future Nextbase camera product releases.
- Communicate technical findings clearly through reports, reviews and feedback for internal and external stakeholders.
- Lead root-cause analysis and work with colleagues to resolve complex hardware issues and enhance camera design.
- Develop, document and maintain research, test and validation methods that support robust product development.
- Partner with design teams to create and deliver effective validation plans for new and existing products.
- Carry out functional verification of electrical systems to ensure quality, reliability and performance.
- Debug, tune and optimise PCB hardware on the bench, in the laboratory and in real vehicle environments.
- Support EMC compliance through product-specific reviews and annual range checks.
- Create prototype PCBs and microsystems to support rapid local testing and proof-of-concept work.
