This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects, developing and designing advanced electronic modules and PCBs for high-performance products.

Your Mission:

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, testing, and optimising electronic circuits — both analog and digital — while collaborating closely with internal teams to bring concepts from design to high-volume production.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, design, and test electronic modules and PCBs.
  
  
• Create detailed circuit diagrams aligned with product requirements.
  
  
• Lead analog design efforts, including amplifiers, filters, and power electronics.
  
  
• Drive digital design projects, covering high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet), timers, counters, ADCs, and FPGAs.
  
  
• FPGA design and development — a core focus of this role.
  
  
• Perform mixed-signal simulations, analysis, and fault-finding to refine designs.
  
  
• Prototype, verify, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
  
  
• Prepare technical documentation: test plans, reports, and bills of materials (BOMs).
  
  
• Support production testing and engineering change management.
  
  
• Collaborate with engineering teams to take concepts from design to delivery.
  
  
• Continuously enhance design skills and share knowledge with the team.
  
  What We're Looking For:
  
  
• Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
  
  
• 10+ years’ experience in analog and digital circuit design and development.
  
  
• Strong expertise in FPGA design — essential.
  
  
• Proficient in high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet).
  
  
• Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontroller programming.
  
  
• Skilled in circuit simulation, PCB layout, and prototyping.
  
  
• Familiarity with design tools like Altium.
  
  
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  
  Key Attributes:
  
  
• Proactive and goal-oriented.
  
  
• Excellent communication and listening skills.
  
  
• Strong team player with organisational awareness.
  
  
• Focused on delivering high-quality solutions.
  
  This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Design Engineer to work on innovative electronic solutions within a supportive and collaborative environment.
  
  Apply now and be part of something groundbreaking.
