Job Alert

Hardware Design Engineer
Location: Clacton-on-Sea, UK
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 + benefits

Are you a Hardware Design Engineer looking for more ownership, more variety, and the chance to see your designs go from concept through to production?

This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering team where your work will have real impact across a range of high-performance electronic products. You will be trusted to lead projects, influence design decisions, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver innovative solutions.

If you enjoy being hands-on, solving complex engineering problems, and taking products through the full lifecycle, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.

What you'll be doing

You will play a key role in the design and delivery of electronic hardware, with responsibility and autonomy from day one:

  • Leading the design and development of analogue and digital hardware
  • Creating schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer
  • Taking ownership of projects from concept through to production
  • Working closely with product management to define specifications
  • Carrying out component selection, simulation, and performance analysis
  • Developing and executing test and validation plans
  • Debugging and validating hardware using lab equipment
  • Collaborating with software and mechanical teams for system integration
  • Supporting manufacturing, NPI, and production teams
  • Contributing to design reviews and continuous improvement

What you'll bring

This role would suit someone who enjoys both technical depth and project ownership:

  • Degree in Electronic Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Around 2-5 years' experience in hardware design
  • Strong understanding of circuit design, power supplies, and signal integrity
  • Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, etc.)
  • Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams

Nice to have:

  • Altium Designer experience
  • Exposure to RF design

Additional information:

  • This role is UK-based
  • No sponsorship is available for this position
  • Relocation assistance can be provided

Why this role?

  • Real ownership of your work, not just small parts of a design
  • Full product lifecycle involvement
  • Collaborative and supportive engineering environment
  • Opportunity to develop technically and professionally
  • Exposure to a wide range of products and technologies

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact and grow your career as a Hardware Design Engineer, I'd be keen to speak with you.
