    The Opportunity

    We are seeking a Senior Electronic Design Engineer to join our Electronic Engineering team in St Asaph. The role will support the design and delivery of innovative, low-power electronic systems, modules, and sub-assemblies for advanced vision systems.

    You will shape product solutions, support NPI and production, and drive continuous improvement across engineering.

    This is a senior, hands-on role offering technical challenge, career development, and occasional UK or international travel.

    Key Responsibilities

    You will lead the electronic design contribution within integrated project teams. Key responsibilities include:

    • Define hardware, firmware, embedded software, and system requirements.
    • Act as technical authority for electronic systems, modules, and sub-assemblies.
    • Produce calculations, analyses, drawings, and engineering reports.
    • Own technical compliance and manage design risk through studies, reviews, and verification testing.
    • Lead or contribute to formal technical reviews.
    • Verify hardware, firmware, embedded software, and applications against system requirements.
    • Debug hardware/software integration using appropriate lab tools, test equipment, and development environments.
    • Lead customer, supplier, and specification discussions to ensure robust product development.
    • Work with external providers, including PCB layout, PCB manufacture, test houses, module suppliers, and design subcontractors.
    • Support bids and proposals with clear, credible technical input.
    • Support production to enable on-time delivery and resolve technical issues.
    • Maintain external engineering links and introduce relevant technologies for future business needs.

    Essential Skills & Experience

    • An education to at least first degree level in electronics or a related discipline.
    • At least 5 years’ experience designing electronic systems, modules, or sub-assemblies.
    • Experience delivering reliable, power-efficient circuits for demanding environments, ideally using Altium.
    • Strong knowledge of analogue and digital design, signal integrity, high-speed interfaces, EMC/EMI, and mitigation techniques.
    • Experience with FPGA design using VHDL or Verilog and vendor tools such as Xilinx Vivado, or Microsemi Libero.
    • Practical software development experience in C, C++, or Python for embedded, real-time, or hardware-integrated systems.
    • Experience with software debugging, unit testing, version control, code review, and configuration management.
    • Understanding of hardware interfaces and communications protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, Ethernet, CAN, or similar.
    • Familiarity with tools such as Matlab/Simulink, PSpice, software development environments, FPGA design suites, and configuration control tools.
    • Ability to verify hardware, firmware, embedded software, and system performance against requirements.
    • Proven ability to manage technical compliance, technical risk, and customer requirements.
    • Experience working with customers, suppliers, PCB partners, test houses, module suppliers, or subcontractors.
    • Ability to support bids, proposals, production delivery, and cross-functional engineering activities.
    • Strong leadership, mentoring, communication, analytical, and practical engineering skills.

    What We Offer

    • Work on advanced electro-optical systems in a high-technology environment.
