Senior Electronic Hardware Engineer

Job Description Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of power electronics, contributing to solutions that enable the global energy transition.

As a Senior Electronic Hardware Engineer, you will take a leading technical role in the design, verification and validation of electronic hardware for industrial control systems used in HVDC applications.

You will operate with a high level of autonomy, applying sound engineering judgment, while contributing to technical strategy, standards and best practices within your discipline.

Job Description

What You Will Do:

Electronic Hardware Design & Engineering:

• Design and develop digital and analogue electronic circuits for industrial control systems
• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout reviews and component selection
• Ensure designs meet EMC, environmental, EHS, RoHS/REACH and regulatory requirements
• Apply DFMEA, failure analysis and root cause analysis

Testing, Verification & Validation:

• Lead bench testing, integration testing and type testing (EMC, environmental, HALT)
• Support FATs and qualification testing with suppliers and test laboratories
• Validate performance, reliability and manufacturability of designs

Technical Leadership & Authority:

• Act as technical authority within your domain
• Provide mentoring and technical guidance to less experienced engineers
• Influence technical policy, standards and design practices
• Interface with external manufacturers and integrators to drive optimal design solutions

Lifecycle & Industrialisation:

• Support DFM / DFT, industrialisation and design-to-cost
• Manage component lifecycle, obsolescence and lead-time risks
• Produce high-quality technical documentation and reports

Skills & Experience: To be successful in this role, you should bring strong electronics engineering expertise, sound technical judgment and the ability to work effectively in a complex, multidisciplinary engineering environment.

Essential:

• Degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or similar
