Profile match
ECM Selection is a UK technical recruitment agency that places engineers, scientists and other numerate candidates with high-technology employers, from fresh graduates to technical directors. Working in the sector for more than 30 years, it recruits for roles such as RF engineers, hardware assembly and prototyping technicians, research scientists and technical sales engineers, mainly around Cambridge, London and Guildford. The company is headquartered in Stow cum Quy near Cambridge, England, United Kingdom.

This engineering focused company specialises in the development of technologies and products for the medical, fluidics and advanced consumer products industries. They combine expertise from the fields of biomedical, electronics, software, and mechanical engineering in a collaborative process to develop innovative electromechanical devices. They are seeking a principal electronics engineer (or a senior electronics engineer looking to step up into a principal role) to join the team.

You will initially lead teams tackling technical challenges from concept through to product launch. As you settle in you will start to gain responsibilities for entire product architectures as well as taking a more active role building relationships with customers/clients. Throughout all of this, you will remain technically grounded and continue to work on core electronic designs as well as building prototypes in the on-site electronics lab.

Requirements:

  • Industrial experience designing, prototyping, and testing electronic systems including practical electronic lab skills, developing embedded software, and writing documentation.
  • Good understanding of project planning, resourcing and leadership.
  • Familiarity with customer/client communications, as needed for requirements gathering, product presentations, etc.
  • 1st or 2:1 in a relevant engineering discipline from a leading university (UK top 10 or equivalent).

This company has a strong ethos of support and self-improvement. Career development is supported through mentorship and personal training budgets. Additionally, they have an ethics policy designed to ensure the company works on projects which are aligned to their employees’ beliefs. A strong remunerations package including a bonus scheme is on offer to the right candidate.
