Electronics Design Engineer

up to £50,000 per annum

Hastings area, East Sussex Office-Based

An established and growing technology business specialising in sophisticated scientific and industrial imaging systems is seeking an Electronics Design Engineer to join its R&D team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with 2–3+ years’ industry experience (post academia) who enjoys working across hardware and embedded systems, taking products from concept through to production.

The Role - Electronics Design Engineer

Working within a small, multidisciplinary R&D team, you will design, develop, test and support electronic and firmware solutions for advanced imaging products used in demanding scientific and industrial applications. This will involve working from initial schematic capture and PCB layout, through prototype bring-up and verification, to supporting transition into manufacture.

Typical involvements: Electronics Design Engineer

* Design analogue and digital (mixed-signal) electronic circuits, schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium Designer preferred), prototype assembly, board bring-up and fault finding

* FPGA firmware development (VHDL), and Embedded C development

* Support production, manufacturing queries and returned unit investigations

* Contribute to DFMEA / FMEA activities and support DFM / DFA considerations

Essential Experience - Electronics Design Engineer

* Degree, HND/HNC or equivalent in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, with at least 2-3 years’ commercial electronics design experience, including FPGA design (using VHDL)

* Strong mixed-signal design capability (analogue and digital electronics design)

* Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout

* Confident practical electronics skills (debugging, oscilloscope use, prototype development)

* Structured and methodical approach to engineering development

Desirable (beneficial skills)

* Experience with camera, sensor or imaging-based hardware systems

* Embedded C programming for microprocessor based systems

* Awareness of DFM, DFA and long-term product support considerations

* Experience working cross-functionally with mechanical, software or operations teams

Location - This is a full-time, office-based role in East Sussex. It is commutable from Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Tunbridge Wells, Haywards Heath, Crawley, Horsham, and Crowborough

This role would suit a well-rounded electronics engineer who enjoys practical development work and wants to contribute to technically challenging imaging products in a collaborative R&D environment.

Note: No relocation support or visa sponsorship available

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.

How Many Semiconductor Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Semiconductor Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the semiconductor industry, it can feel like you’re expected to master an endless list of tools, software packages and lab equipment before you even submit a CV. One job advert wants experience with TCAD and process simulation, another mentions SPICE and yield tools, while yet another asks for test automation platforms, yield analysis software, hardware description languages, EDA suites and hundreds of others. With so many technical names thrown around, it’s easy to fall into “tool anxiety” — the feeling that you’re behind because you don’t know every piece of software, every lab instrument and every process control suite. Here’s the honest truth most semiconductor hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real engineering problems and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter, absolutely. But they exist to help you deliver measurable results — not to be collected like badges. So how many semiconductor tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer is a lot fewer than you might think — and far more focused on core capabilities than a long checklist. This guide breaks down what employers really value, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you are confident and credible.
