Electronics Engineer
$63,500–$88,900 year
On-site · Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Electronics Engineer role to build and lead Wave Photonics' electronics hardware stack. You will design mixed-signal and high-speed PCBs for driving and reading out packaged PICs, develop RF and analogue driver circuits for GHz-frequency signals, implement microcontroller- and FPGA-based control systems for feedback and stabilization, and own hardware from requirements through schematic, layout, bring-up, and validation. The role emphasizes ownership, hands-on circuit design, cross-functional collaboration with PIC engineers, and growing the hardware capability from the ground up. Visa sponsorship is available; Cambridge, UK-based, with in-person work and flexible options where possible.
Required Qualifications
- Degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
- PCB design experience including high-speed and mixed-signal layouts
- Hands-on analogue circuit design (precision biasing, low-noise amplification, ADC/DAC interfacing)
- Ability to take a design from schematic through to verified hardware: board bring-up, test, and debugging
- Proficiency in EDA tools (e.g. Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence, or equivalent)
- Experience with bench test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, network analysers, signal generators etc.)
- Comfortable working across the full hardware development lifecycle in a fast-paced, cross-functional team
- Strong software development skills for embedded programming in C
- Python/MATLAB experience for measurement automation, data analysis, test and verification
