Electronic Design Engineer

Redline Group have recently been engaged by a leading Engineering company based in Manchester. Due to recent project wins, they are now looking to recruit an experienced Electronic Design Engineer to be part of their dynamic design team.

The culture is very collaborative where engineers work together to solve engineering-related problems and find the best solutions. As such, they are looking for like-minded engineers who can really add value to the team. The company currently operates a hybrid working arrangement of 3 days onsite, 2 from home, with everybody in on a Wednesday.

The company designs and manufactures electronic sensors and components for the global Automation market, and they are looking for an Electronic Design Engineer with sound analogue design skills combined with some firmware development using embedded C or C++.

Key Responsibilities of the Electronic Design Engineer:

1. Design and development of barriers for connection between intrinsically safe circuits and non-intrinsically safe circuits.
2. Circuit design, prototyping, verification, and release testing.
3. Specification of the design components and creation of the circuit schematic in CAD.
4. Creation of the Intrinsic Safety and EMC Plans required to meet IS and EMC standards.
5. Verification testing of prototypes and review PCB layouts.

Key Skills Required for the Electronic Design Engineer:

1. Excellent understanding of electronic/engineering principles and Analogue and Digital circuit design experience.
2. Knowledge of EMC and functional safety requirements.
3. Op-Amp Circuits, Low power/signal transformers, and small signal SMPS knowledge is an advantage.
4. Software programming experience will be beneficial.

It would be advantageous if you had any knowledge or experience of process control automation methods and instrumentation or of relevant legislation (ATEX, Low voltage, EMC directives). This role would be perfect for someone with a genuine interest in analogue electronics and a solid understanding of the fundamentals of electronic design principles.

This is a great chance for an Electronic Design Engineer to join a successful and stable business with the opportunity to progress their career long term.
