Senior Electronics Engineer

Job Description

This is a broad, hands-on senior role. You will take ownership of the electronics across architecture, schematic and PCB design, RF and cellular connectivity, sensor integration, power systems, thermal performance and long-term reliability, for products that live outdoors on streetlights in demanding conditions. The role deliberately extends beyond the PCB into the practical engineering that gets a product built well: test fixtures, production software, validation methods and manufacturing processes.

You will have significant influence over product architecture, engineering standards, design-for-manufacture, and the reliability of hardware deployed at scale in the field.

It will suit an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines: reviewing a complex design one day, debugging hardware in the lab the next, working through enclosure and thermal trade-offs with mechanical engineers, and resolving issues on the production line.

What You Will Do

Own schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews and hardware release across digital, mixed-signal, power and RF sections, balancing cost, robustness, DFM and DFTBring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root-cause analysisDesign and validate high-speed interfaces, clocks, memory, cameras and other signal-integrity-sensitive circuitsDrive EMC pre-compliance and formal compliance activities, using test results to guide practical design improvementsAdvance cellular and wireless performance through antenna tuning, placement, matching, grounding, shielding and enclosure-aware RF designIntegrate camera, microphone, environmental and radar sensors, and validate their electrical and system-level performanceDevelop power supplies, protection, low-power behaviour and thermal performance for reliable outdoor operationUse CAD and 3D printing to develop enclosures, mounts, seals, prototypes, assembly aids and test jigsManage component lifecycle, availability, alternates and obsolescence riskBuild factory fixtures and automated workflows for programming, functional test, calibration, RF checks, traceability and reportingWrite practical Python or C/C++ tools for test automation, DFM and engineering analysisPartner directly with suppliers and manufacturers on production support, yield optimisation and engineering change control
