Hardware Engineer

The full job description covers all associated skills, previous experience, and any qualifications that applicants are expected to have.

We’re looking for a Hardware Engineer to join a growing engineering team working on the design, development and testing of electronic hardware.

You don’t need years of experience for this role. We’re much more interested in someone who understands the basics, is hands-on, curious, and isn't afraid to pick up a soldering iron and get stuck into a circuit.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and gain exposure to the full hardware development process, from initial design through to prototyping, testing and troubleshooting.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the design and development of electronic hardware
• Working on electronics and analogue/digital circuits
• Building and modifying prototypes and test boards
• Soldering, reworking and assembling electronic components
• Using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters and power supplies
• Carrying out hardware testing, fault-finding and debugging
• Supporting PCB bring-up and testing
• Reading schematics and understanding electronic circuits
• Working with senior engineers to solve technical problems
• Documenting test results and engineering changes
• Learning and developing your skills across hardware and power electronics
