Hardware Electronics Engineer
On-siteLondon, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Take technical ownership of the electronics architecture for our medical device, driving development from early concept through prototype, verification, and product release. Design mixed-signal electronic systems, including optical modules, battery management, and power electronics, while developing and validating battery charging and low-power system architectures. Bring up, debug, and validate prototype hardware using laboratory test equipment, identifying root causes and implementing robust design improvements. Plan and scope development activities, managing technical risks and estimating work required to achieve project milestones. Own electronics design documentation and lead risk management activities, including maintaining Design FMEAs and supporting system-level risk analysis. Work with PCB manufacturers and suppliers to support prototype builds, design for manufacture, and design for test.
Required Qualifications
- Master's degree (or equivalent experience) in Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline
- 3–5 years' industry experience developing electronic products from concept through prototype and into manufacture
- Strong experience designing mixed-signal electronic systems including analogue, digital and power electronics
- Experience with schematic capture and multi-layer PCB design using Altium Designer (or an equivalent ECAD package)
- Experience selecting components, designing circuits and integrating commercially available modules into complete electronic systems
- Experience designing battery-powered embedded systems including battery charging, power regulation and power management
- Experience designing interfaces for motors, pumps, LEDs, cameras, sensors and other peripheral devices
- Strong hardware debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, power analysers and other laboratory equipment
- Experience with PCB bring-up, fault finding and hardware verification
- Understanding of EMC/EMI, signal integrity and design for reliability
- Experience working with contract manufacturers and supporting PCB assembly and prototype builds
- Experience planning technical work, managing electronics risks and taking ownership of engineering deliverables
