Are you an electronics hardware engineer who wants hands-on access to the very newest generation of Intel silicon? Our client has delivered high-performance embedded computing solutions across defence, telecoms, aerospace and more for decades, delivering best-in-class solutions that allow the latest generations of compute power to exist in the harshest of environments. The Role Once a product ships, someone owns it for the rest of its life. That's this role. The early product hardware team spend six months to two years taking a product from spec to market; once it's out in the field, you take over. You'll solve the problems production and customers uncover, stay ahead of component obsolescence, and evolve the board to keep it competitive for years to come. It means working on today's most advanced compute technology without the year-or-two design grind to get there. Every product you touch is already proven in the field, so you're solving real problems, not theoretical ones. Your candid feedback and collaborative spirit will help evolve hardware methodologies to keep mission-critical systems at the leading edge. This is a hands-on role with a lot of lab work. You'll be as comfortable with an oscilloscope and logic analyser as you are at a screen, so it's an office-based role, though there is flexibility when life requires, or on the rare occasions when you don’t need access to the products, and the oscilloscope. What You Will Be Doing Full ownership of product redesign, from investigating reported issues through to a verified fix Testing and redesign of existing products post-design: From prototype validation through to production, incorporating customer and production feedback Lead the complete re-design of legacy products Integrate the latest market components to extend product lifecycles Create and modernise schematics and high-density PCB designs (16–20 layers), and verify layout work for signal integrity Tackle component obsolescence, and manage documentation Conduct design reviews, troubleshooting, and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and environmental test chambers Report on technical progress Actively shape hardware development processesWhat We Are Looking For 3+ years of professional electronics engineering experience with a strong focus on high-speed digital circuit design and debugging Degree in a discipline relevant to electronics A desire to work with high-performance Intel architecture and the newest generation of compute silicon Understanding of complex, high-layer-count PCB design well enough to review and verify layout work, including signal integrity considerations such as crosstalkDesirable But Not Required A desire to work with PC motherboard architecture (64-bit microprocessors, PCI Express, Ethernet, DDR4 Memory) or Inten chipsets FPGAs Some understanding of embedded softwareBenefits Up to 10% employer contribution pension 25 days holidays with holiday purchase scheme Annual bonus / profit share Cycle to work, Home & Tech and car salary sacrifice schemes Death in service benefit & income protection Wellbeing – Employee assistance / virtual GP / enhanced parental leave / private health insurance / wellbeing apps / paid volunteering days
