Senior Electronic Design Engineer

Want to shape the electronics behind the next generation of scientific instruments, from concept to product release?

We’re recruiting a Senior Electronics Design Engineer for an established global scientific instruments business in High Wycombe. You’ll join a small, hands-on electronics team (two engineers plus placement students) building new material-characterisation laboratory instruments and supporting the current range. You’ll have a lot of say over the next generation of instruments.

What you’ll do

• Design and verify low-noise analogue front-ends, mixed-signal, power and control boards
• Own high-speed digital and FPGA/SoC design on Xilinx Zynq
• Design PCBs in Altium 365 to IPC standards
• Own the electronics architecture for your subsystems, from concept through prototype and verification to product release
• Run the design process: HRS/PRS, design reviews, DFMEA, verification plans and reports
• Prototype quickly, then bring up, debug and validate boards on the bench with the firmware team
• Own the electrical BOM and the safety/EMC considerations, and support DFM/DFA through to production
• Support released products: obsolescence, manufacturing and field issues, root-cause analysis
• Work with optics, mechanical, firmware, software and science colleagues

What you’ll bring

• A degree in electrical/electronic engineering or a related discipline
• 5+ years designing electronics for instrumentation or test & measurement products
• MCU-based control boards and interfaces: 1G/10G Ethernet, USB, SPI, I²C, UART/RS-232, RS-485, CAN, PCIe
• Xilinx Zynq FPGA/SoC design in VHDL or Verilog
• Hands-on bring-up and debug with oscilloscopes, spectrum and logic analysers
• EMC and product safety for lab equipment: IEC 61326-1 and IEC 61010-1, taken through compliance testing
• A structured approach to product design and a system-level view: cabling, harnessing and how each board fits the whole instrument

What’s on offer

• Your own well-equipped bench, with the test equipment and software you need
• A chance to help shape a new lab and instrument set-up being built now
• Cross-discipline project teams and a real say in product direction
• Competitive Salary & benefits
