Senior Design Engineer
Alfen Recruitment is proud to be working exclusively with a leading innovator in electronic systems, seeking a talented Senior Design Engineer to join their dynamic team. 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.
