Responsibilities
Define and agree the scope of work, deliverables, schedules, and technical outputs in collaboration with project, system, and line management
Take full responsibility for execution of assigned engineering work packages, including reporting deviations and managing technical risks
Ensure work is properly scoped, authorised, reviewed, and executed in line with defined engineering processes and review gates
Apply structured design and development processes to generate concepts that meet functional, performance, and life cycle requirements
Perform conceptual and detailed design, supported by modelling, simulation, and engineering analysis
Take technical accountability for design performance across the full product life cycle
Select and specify appropriate manufacturing technologies, components, and materials
Drive designs through PDR, CDR, and detail design phases, including generation of complete manufacturing data packs
Define tolerances, perform verification and validation testing, and ensure designs are fit for purpose before release
Collaborate with industrial and manufacturing engineering to ensure designs are producible, testable, and supportable
Design and develop test equipment, tooling, and assembly procedures aligned to design intent, quality, and efficiency
Support production with debugging, fault finding, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
Train production personnel and support transfer of products into manufacturing
Break down system and user requirements into clear, implementable design requirements at subsystem and component level
Ensure all design data is technically correct, complete, reviewed, and properly controlled
Investigate and apply new technologies, components, and methods to improve product performance, cost, and manufacturability
Work with suppliers and procurement to identify, qualify, and implement suitable technologies and processes
Proactively ensure knowledge transfer through documentation, mentoring, and peer reviews
Perform laboratory testing, qualification testing, and engineering investigations to de-risk and mature designs
Take responsibility for technical planning, execution oversight, and engineering integrity of assigned subsystems
Perform architectural design, including block diagrams, power, grounding, interfaces, timing, and life cycle considerations
Ensure integration across disciplines and alignment with system-level requirements
Support technical risk management, development strategies, and design readiness for major reviews and milestones
Qualification
Required
Minimum BEng Electronic Engineering; Preferred BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering (or equivalent)
Minimum 5 years'; Preferably 7 years' experience in electronic hardware development within a product development environment
Proven experience taking designs from concept through to production
Experience operating as a technical owner or design authority for subsystems or critical design areas is strongly preferred
Exposure to full product life cycle engineering, including design reviews, industrialisation, and production support
Strong grounding in electronic engineering fundamentals, including analogue, digital, and mixed-signal design
Proven capability in engineering analysis, simulation, and design validation (e.g. SPICE, MATLAB, modelling tools)
Experience with high-speed digital design, EMC/EMI design principles, and reliability engineering (e.g. derating, FMEA, HALT)
