We are now looking to recruit an experienced Senior Electronics Engineer to join our multi-disciplinary team as we bring to market and seek to manufacture, distribute and support a novel family of products.
If you are a highly motivated and ambitious professional seeking a challenging new role, this is the opportunity to self-develop and succeed on a personal and professional level within a rapidly growing company.
Offering progression commensurate to contribution and development prospects, we offer a fast-paced environment, ideal for enhancing your technical and management skills. Ability to work in R&D, production and service roles: coordinating and working with the internal engineering team to sync with the external resources is a key requirement.
Senior Electronics Engineer - The Role:

This from inception, in the R&D role through to manufacture and service. As the team expands, good inter-personal and management skills (both people and parallel Projects) will be required. You will be required to produce and follow project and product documentation and be able to adopt a hands-on approach as and when the project requires. The facility will seek to register to ISO13485 during 2019.
Strong leadership skills together with an enquiring mind that is constantly looking at new technical options as Projects develop are key personal assets….a ‘can do' attitude is vital as is the desire to complete Projects on time and on budget-reflecting the importance of the commercial role that the function also entails.
You will take responsibility for the full product lifecycle: from early concepts and prototypes, to full production and upgrades. To this end, you will work closely with colleagues from sales and manufacturing as well as with suppliers to ensure technical and commercial success.
