Role: Electronics Engineer
Start Date: July, 2026
Style: Permanent, onsite
Location: London, UK
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 + package
We are looking for a PCB Electronics Engineer to support the development of advanced electronic subsystems, taking hardware designs from early-stage prototypes through to manufacturing readiness. This role will involve schematic capture, PCB layout coordination or ownership, component selection, board bring-up, debugging, validation, and release documentation. You will play a key role in improving the reliability, manufacturability, and testability of PCB designs as products mature toward production. The position also involves supporting fabrication and assembly activities, resolving hardware issues, and collaborating with suppliers and manufacturing partners.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain PCB schematics for a range of electronic subsystems
- Manage PCB layout activities directly or collaborate with internal/external layout engineers
- Select components based on performance, availability, lifecycle, cost, and manufacturability considerations
- Bring up, test, and debug PCB assemblies using lab equipment and structured validation methods
- Work across analog, digital, sensor interface, motor driver, power electronics, and high-speed digital designs
- Prepare fabrication, assembly, and release documentation for prototype and production builds
- Support EMC, validation, environmental, and reliability testing activities
- Investigate PCB assembly or manufacturing issues and work with suppliers to implement practical solutions
- Contribute to design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) improvements throughout development
About You
You are a hands-on electronics engineer who enjoys working across the full PCB development lifecycle — from schematic design and layout through to bench testing, debugging, and validation. You are comfortable using lab equipment, troubleshooting complex hardware issues, and identifying whether problems originate from design, assembly, components, or test setups. You understand the importance of creating hardware that is reliable, repeatable, and manufacturable, with careful consideration given to layout constraints, testability, documentation, and long-term component availability.
Required Experience
- Degree-qualified in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
- Approximately 2–5 years of industry experience developing PCB-based electronic systems
- Strong experience with PCB schematic capture and board-level electronics design
- Understanding of high-speed PCB layout principles, including controlled impedance, signal integrity, length matching, and timing-critical interfaces such as DDR
- Experience bringing up, testing, and debugging PCB assemblies in a laboratory environment
- Knowledge of both analog and digital electronics
- Exposure to power electronics and related circuit design
- Experience using PCB design tools such as Altium, KiCad, EasyEDA, or equivalent
- Experience with sensor interfaces, control electronics, or motor driver circuitry
- Experience producing fabrication and assembly documentation for manufacturing
Desirable Skills
- Experience supporting PCB manufacturing or resolving assembly-related issues with suppliers or contract manufacturers
- Exposure to component sourcing, substitutions, lifecycle management, or redesigns driven by availability constraints
- Experience supporting EMC, environmental, reliability, or compliance testing
- Knowledge of motor control systems, encoders, or feedback electronics
- Experience with mixed-signal PCB design
- Familiarity with production test methods, test fixtures, or end-of-line testing considerations
- Experience working with external PCB layout teams or manufacturing partners
- Understanding of revision control, engineering change processes, and hardware release procedures
