What we're looking for
You're a hands-on engineer who's comfortable being handed a problem and running with it. You've delivered complex PCB designs before - not just contributed to them - and you know the difference between a design that works on the bench and one that survives production and the field.
You'll own the full design lifecycle for sophisticated electronic hardware - from requirements through to production - working largely independently and making real technical decisions that shape the products we ship.
That means:
Designing hardware that has to work:
- PCBs featuring high-speed digital, FPGA platforms, switch-mode power, and mixed-signal circuitry, laid out in Altium to production-ready standard
Solving hard problems
- Independently diagnosing issues using structured root-cause analysis and the full range of lab equipment, from oscilloscopes to spectrum analyzers
Thinking at system level
- Understanding how your design choices ripple through EMC behavior, thermal performance, firmware integration, and long-term reliability
Taking it all the way
- From compliance and certification through to manufacturing handover, you own the outcome
Working with top talent
- Collaborating directly with firmware, systems, and mechanical engineers to make sure the full product hangs together
Raising the bar
- Supporting and mentoring junior engineers, contributing to design reviews, and actively improving how the team works
This is not a role where you execute someone else's design decisions. You'll be the person making them.
You'll need:
- A Master's degree in Electronic Engineering or similar
- A proven track record of independently delivering multi-layer PCB designs (high-speed digital, power, mixed-signal)
Solid experience with Altium Designer - schematic capture through to layout
- Confidence diagnosing hardware with real lab equipment and structured fault-finding techniques
- Experience taking designs through the full lifecycle, including HW/FW integration and manufacturing transition
- The judgement to make well-reasoned trade-off decisions and explain your rationale clearly
Bonus points for:
- Python or C scripting for test automation or data analysis
- FPGA development experience (VHDL)
- Familiarity with EMC compliance standards or reliability methods (FMEA, derating)
A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is:
£56,000.00-64,800.00 GBP
The actual salary offered may vary within the range based on a candidates' unique experience, locale, and business needs. In addition to a base salary and bonus plans, Everfox offers a generous benefits package including flexible PTO, a 401k match, and contribution to healthcare coverages. Our talent acquisition team will provide specific information regarding bonus eligibility and benefits offerings.
