Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer

Location: Camberley
Salary: Competitive / Negotiable

A leading engineering business based in Camberley is looking for a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer to take technical ownership of new electronic designs and help deliver robust, low-power, low-noise hardware for advanced instrumentation. This is a senior, hands-on role combining digital and analogue design, embedded development, EMC/standards compliance, and practical fault-finding—with scope to influence design decisions and mentor others across engineering and production support.

What you'll be doing

*

Designing and developing analogue and digital electronics (including FPGA & MPU-based designs) with an emphasis on low average power consumption and low-noise systems.

*

Taking the lead on hardware reviews, evaluating options and selecting the best technical approach for each project.

*

Owning EMC-led design, supporting EMC testing, and ensuring standards compliance.

*

Supporting embedded work in C and/or C++ on microprocessors, plus hands-on debugging and fault resolution across hardware/firmware.

*

Producing high-quality design documentation so others can pick up work confidently and maintain momentum.

*

Working to established processes and contributing to improvements that increase quality and efficiency.

*

Providing informal leadership by mentoring and guiding colleagues (no direct reports, but senior-level influence is expected).

What we're looking for

Essential

*

Strong experience designing both analogue and digital circuits, using simulation where appropriate to ensure reliability and fitness for purpose.

*

Practical capability in EMC design principles and applying relevant standards (e.g., marine/industrial compliance frameworks).

*

PCB design experience using Altium, with solid schematic capture and good foundational PCB layout knowledge.

*

Embedded coding ability in C (able to write from the ground up, fix bugs, and implement features) plus at least a basic understanding of C++/OOP.

*

Comfortable with hands-on electronics fault-finding and supporting manufacturing/production when needed.

*

2:1 or above in a relevant engineering degree (e.g., Electronic/Electrical Engineering or similar).

Nice to have

*

Evidence of staying current with industry trends, tools, and techniques, and applying that learning pragmatically
