They develop a range of standard instruments as well as bespoke designs which are used in anything from EMC applications and energy monitoring to pulsed power and high frequency industrial monitoring systems.\nThe R&D team concentrate on developing new technologies and products for new industries as well as working with the custom engineering team on certain bespoke designs. Work varies from blank sheet design through modelling and simulation to prototype build, calibration and test. You can also expect to attend and present at relevant conferences and symposiums with work written up in academic papers and commercial white papers.\nRequirements:\nPhD in electronics or electrical engineering\nStrong understanding of analogue electronics, especially related to test and measurement, instrumentation or power electronics\nGood skills with MATLAB and SPICE (or other circuit simulation package)\nSome commercial experience is desirable, but recently awarded PhD’s will also be considered. This company is unable to sponsor and so you will need full and permanent rights to work in the UK.\nYou will be joining a team filled with PhDs and working on a site with research and manufacturing facilities. You’ll be intellectually challenged as well as supported as you continue to develop your technical and professional skills. Due to the nature of the role, you will need to be on-site full-time.\nKeywords: Electronics, Electrical, Analogue Electronics, Power Electronics, Instrumentation, Research, Circuit Design, Circuit Simulation, SPICE, MATLAB, Schematic Capture, PCB Layout, Nottingham\nPlease note: even if you don't have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest - we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.\nRecommend for £250 - see www.ecmselection.co.uk/tell-a-friend for details.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2132,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T03:57:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.379,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:2","agency","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":87567,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T04:43:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11485,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":53991},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=53991"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fecm-selection-phd-electronics-engineer-rd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3852072}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ecmselection.co.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3852072},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
