Contract: 6 months initially (likely to extend)
A medical electronics company is looking to hire a Contract Electronics Engineer to join an established engineering team. This role covers the full electronics product lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on electronics testing, characterisation and verification, rather than brand new electronics design.
You'll work in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment alongside electronics engineers, mechanical engineers, embedded software engineers and scientists, helping to understand and improve complex medical systems.
The role
- Work across the full electronics product lifecycle, from design review through to test and verification
- Lead and execute electronics testing, characterisation and system level investigations
- Develop and run test plans to assess performance, limits and system interactions
- Review schematics and PCB designs and contribute to design discussions
- Collaborate daily with mechanical, software and scientific teams
- Support systems involving fluidic control mechanisms and optics
This role suits an Electronics Engineer who enjoys hands on hardware work and understanding how systems behave in the real world.
Skills required
- Strong experience as an Electronics Engineer, covering both design and test
- Solid electronics fundamentals with the confidence to challenge designs
- Hands on experience with electronics testing and characterisation
- Able to communicate clearly with non-electronics specialists
- Curious, practical mindset and interest in electronics
Years of experience are flexible. The focus is on capability, attitude and the ability to contribute quickly.
Tools & environment
- Schematic and PCB design using Altium
- On site lab and test facilities
- Close collaboration with other electronics engineers and wider engineering teams
If you're an electronics engineer who enjoys testing, problem solving and working on real products, this is a great contract opportunity.
