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) No relocation support or visa sponsorship available

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 - Graduate / Junior 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.
