Senior Electronics Engineer
Devon (Hybrid) | Up to £62,000 DOE | Permanent | Half-day Fridays
The Opportunity
Are you a Senior Electronics Engineer looking for a role where your work genuinely matters? We are working exclusively with a well-established UK defence and maritime technology business - around 500 people - who develop advanced naval protection and undersea surveillance systems deployed by navies across the globe.
Based in Devon with hybrid and flexible working, this is a rare opportunity to take technical ownership of complex electro-mechanical systems in a specialist, mission-driven environment - without the pace and pressure of a large prime contractor.
The South West is one of the best places in the UK to live and work. With easy access to Dartmoor, the Jurassic Coast, and a lower cost of living than London or Bristol, this role is particularly well suited to engineers considering relocation. Exeter is well connected by rail and road and has a growing engineering community.
The Role
You will take ownership of electrical and electronic engineering delivery across a range of electro-mechanical systems, working within a small, specialist multi-disciplinary team. You will be expected to operate at a senior level throughout the full product lifecycle - from requirements capture through to acceptance and beyond.
Day to day you will be:
*Leading electrical and electronic design and development of electro-mechanical systems
*Delivering full lifecycle engineering from requirements decomposition through to acceptance and user sign-off
*Providing technical support and leadership within a multi-disciplinary engineering team
*Mentoring and supporting the development of junior engineers
*Supporting and facilitating design reviews and approvals to business and industry standards
*Contributing to manufacturing drawings, schematics, CAD models and technical reports
*Supporting products through manufacturing, assembly, installation and service life
*Contributing to bids and proposals, including customer and supplier interfacing
What We’re Looking For
*Strong analogue and digital design skills
*Full lifecycle experience from requirements decomposition through to acceptance on multi-disciplinary programmes
*Experience in the design and manufacture of electro-mechanical systems
*Experience of requirements capture, analysis, V&V and configuration management
*Ability to provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers
*Excellent communication and collaboration skills
