ONE Consulting have been engaged on a search assignment for an Electronics Engineer, on behalf of a leading defence electronics business in Gloucestershire.

This is a hands-on role working on the design, development and integration of bespoke electronic hardware used in technically demanding, mission-critical applications. The work runs across the full project engineering lifecycle, from concept, design, build &-test, to-delivery and support.

You will be part of a capable, experienced engineering group with strong technical depth across analogue, digital and mixed-signal design.-

The role:

• Designing electronic hardware (analogue, digital and mixed-signal) to meet challenging technical specifications
• Producing schematics, supporting PCB layout and managing component selection and BOM
• Building, bench-testing, fault-finding and integrating prototypes through to qualification
• Working alongside mechanical, embedded software and systems colleagues on multi-discipline projects
• Producing accurate technical documentation and contributing to internal design reviews
• Supporting project planning, technical risk reviews and continuous improvement

About you:

• Confident in lab work using oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analysers bench debugging
• Working from written requirements and producing clear technical documentation
• Any of: microcontroller-based design, FPGA, RF/microwave, power, or signal integrity exposure

A methodical, curious mindset, an interest in the underlying physics of what you are building, and a willingness to take a problem from rough idea through to a tested result is the sort of minset we are seeking.

Due to the nature of the work, applicants will need to hold UK Security Clearance, or be in a position to obtain it.

What is on offer:

• A varied technical role with real engineering scope to design and develop.
• Direct access to senior engineers and the people making decisions
• The role offers long-term project visibility, where you will see your work go from blank page to deployed hardware
• A supportive, low-bureaucracy/political environment with a sensible approach to work-life balance
