Graduate Electronic Design Engineer

Graduate Electronics Design Engineer

Hastings area, East Sussex Office-Based

Salary: up to £40,000 per annum

Note: This role is open to recent graduates as well as junior electronics engineers (1-2 years of industry experience)

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 electronics engineer that enjoys working across hardware and embedded systems and wants to take products from concept through to production. It would suit a graduate electronics or junior electronics design.

The Role - Graduate 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: Graduate Electronics Design Engineer

Design of 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 possibly some Embedded C development

Supporting production and NPI and performing hardware fault diagnosis

Contributing to DFMEA / FMEA activities and supporting DFM / DFA considerations Essential Experience - Electronics Design Engineer

Degree, HND/HNC or equivalent in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, ideally with some relevant commercial electronics design experience (e.g. internship or relevant employment)

Proven electronics design experience (PCBA)

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

Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout (use of Altium or similar)

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

Structured and methodical approach to engineering development

Evidence of own projects / hobby electronics design or similar is preferred Desirable (beneficial skills)

Experience with camera, sensor or imaging-based hardware systems

FPGA design experience would be preferred using VHDL or similar

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 graduate or junior electronics engineer who enjoys practical development work and wants to contribute to technically challenging imaging products in a collaborative R&D environment.
