Senior Electronics Engineer
The Senior Electronics Engineer will play a pivotal role in designing the electronics behind safety‑critical systems where precision and reliability truly matter. You will be part of a highly skilled team delivering analogue, digital, and computer‑based safety systems, contributing across the full lifecycle from requirements capture and compliance‑driven design to documentation, analysis, and ongoing system support. This role is in a highly regulated environment, applying rigorous engineering principles with a strong emphasis on classical analysis and modelling of analogue instrumentation front‑ends, helping ensure performance, integrity, and safety of complex systems and products.
Role Responsibilities
- Produce and peer‑review technical reports, drawings and designs for safety, functionality and compliance with standards and statutory requirements.
- Provide a technical lead in specified areas for the team and the company as a whole.
- Establish customer solutions and support discussions of the proposed solution(s) with customer representatives to agree the optimum outcome in terms of cost, timescale and ease of implementation.
- Detailed analysis of existing systems to establish requirements for replacement or refurbishment.
- Provide specific technical support to project managers and/or team leaders for projects.
- Liaison with suppliers regarding supply and support of third‑party equipment.
- Occasionally support the installation and commissioning of equipment on the customer's site.
- Develop personal engineering capability across the safety system and instrumentation areas.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement, automation and modernisation within your work.
- Carry out all work ethically, safely and in accordance with the relevant standards and best practice within the nuclear industry.
Skill and Experience
- Degree educated in Electronics Engineering or demonstrable industry experience in an electronics design role, including schematic design, PCB layout and mixed‑mode simulation (e.g., Altium).
- Firm theoretical understanding and practical experience of the subtleties of analogue electronics design in instrumentation front‑ends – e.g., noise, frequency response, cabling and temperature sensitivity effects; the mechanisms, analysis and modelling thereof.
- Exposure to and understanding of the use of the major digital electronics families and device categories.
- Experience in the systems engineering of complete electronic systems, including integration of PCBs into electronics racks/cabinets, and the thermal and reliability engineering aspects thereof.
- Use of modern instrumentation, e.g., digital mixed‑mode oscilloscopes and programmable instrumentation.
Desirable Experience
- Experience in the Defence or safety regulated environment would be advantageous.
- Experience in the Naval / Maritime domain would be advantageous.
Company Benefits
- Bonus: Up to 5% of salary (based on performance).
- Facilities: On‑site perks like subsidised meals and free parking.
- Training and Development: Excellent opportunities for career progression and skill development.
