Electronics Engineer - Hardware Design - Nottingham - £45,000 to £52,000

KO2's client, an innovative technology company based in Nottingham, specialises in the design and development of complex ultrasonic measurement systems used in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. They are seeking a skilled electronics engineer with strong hardware design experience to contribute to the next generation of precision instrumentation.

The Role

This is a hands-on position for an electronics engineer who enjoys working across the full hardware development lifecycle - from initial concept and circuit design through to prototype validation and final production support. You'll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including embedded software and mechanical engineers, to bring complex electronic systems to life.

The role is fully onsite in Nottingham, providing excellent access to labs, test equipment, and the wider engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

Design and prototype hardware for advanced ultrasonic measurement systems. Produce schematic capture and manage multi-layer PCB layouts (2-8 layers, mixed-signal). Integrate a variety of technologies including microcontrollers, microprocessors, RF circuitry, analog front ends, DC-DC and AC-DC power supplies, FPGAs, and sensors. Validate and debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and other lab tools. Apply DFT, DFM, and DFP principles throughout the design and manufacturing process. Review and improve electronic designs for performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Provide technical support to customers and internal stakeholders when required.Skills & Experience Required

Degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline. At least 4 years' experience in an electronic hardware design role. Strong understanding of mixed-signal design principles. Proficiency in Altium Designer (or similar tools such as KiCAD, Eagle, Fusion, or PADS). Experienced in test, validation, and debugging of PCB-based systems. Familiar with IoT, instrumentation, or embedded electronics environments. Solid understanding of EMC, DfC, DFT, DFM, and DFP best practices.About You

The ideal electronics engineer will be detail-oriented, methodical, and enthusiastic about delivering reliable, high-performance designs. You'll be confident working independently while collaborating closely with colleagues across disciplines. Strong communication and documentation skills are essential.
