Full job description

SPT Labtech is looking for a Senior Electronics Technician to support development work within our R&D group at Melbourn, near Cambridge. This is a hands-on bench role at the heart of new product development: soldering, wiring and loom fabrication, building and reworking prototypes, and supporting test and debug as designs mature. You'll be the go-to Electronics Technician for our development engineers, trusted to work independently, take ownership of complex builds, and deliver work of consistently high quality that designs can be judged against. If you take real pride in your workmanship and want to see your builds become production instruments, this could be the role for you.

About us:

Based in Cambridge, SPT Labtech makes products that transform the way scientists work. For decades, our expert scientists, engineers and business innovators have provided scientists with world-leading, innovative solutions for liquid handling, sample preparation, and sample management that help accelerate research and make a real difference to human health. We work collaboratively with our customers, building trusted relationships that enable us to deliver exceptional, personalised experiences designed for real-world challenges in the lab.

Want to be part of a team that’s truly making a difference?

Description

This is a hands-on, on-site role, providing prototyping, test and debug support across new product development and existing instrument platforms. The successful candidate will act as an integral member of multidisciplinary teams spanning electronics, software and mechanical engineering, building, testing and troubleshooting precision laboratory instrumentation from prototype through to production. As a senior technician within the team, the successful candidate will be expected to exemplify best practice in their own work and to provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced colleagues.

What you will be doing

Building, reworking and repairing prototype systems and evaluation builds, including cable and wiring harness fabrication, to a high standard of workmanship.
Using test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench power supplies, logic analysers, and similar) to verify designs, diagnose faults and support root-cause investigations.
Supporting embedded systems bring-up, integration and test alongside software and design engineers.
Producing and maintaining clear technical documentation and test records.
Feeding back to design engineers on testability, manufacturability and component selection.
Coaching junior technicians and apprentices in day-to-day build and test work.
Maintaining and calibrating lab test equipment to support ongoing test and evaluation work.
Contributing to continuous improvement of engineering processes, tooling, and ESD/safety practice.

About you:

You'll be a meticulous, hands-on technician with the technical breadth and curiosity to work fluently across a design, from schematic through to a working prototype. You don't need to be a design engineer, but you should be comfortable reading a schematic, chasing a fault to its root cause, or challenging a design choice that makes the hardware harder to build or test than it needs to be. What matters is genuine practical depth combined with the care and precision to get it right first time.

Essential Requirements

Excellent hands-on electronics skills: soldering (through-hole and SMD), prototyping, and cable/loom fabrication.
Good knowledge of test equipment and structured debugging / fault-finding methods.
Experience working with embedded systems.
Good knowledge of electronics fundamentals (analogue and digital).
Substantial, proven experience in an R&D or product development electronics role, with the depth to work independently and take ownership of complex builds.
Relevant qualification (e.g. HNC/HND, NVQ Level 3, or equivalent) in electronics/electrical engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Clear and effective communicator, able to work closely with design engineers and cross-functional teams.

Desirable skills and experience

Experience with scientific instrumentation or laboratory automation products.
Working knowledge of product safety standards such as IEC 61010.
SolidWorks experience.
Experience with system-level test, debug and setup on complete instruments.
Knowledge of schematic capture and PCB layout tools such as Altium.
Electrical knowledge and experience, e.g. mains-voltage wiring and safety.

Our commitment to you

We offer a competitive salary package and comprehensive, valued benefits, including private medical insurance, a generous pension plan, and an annual discretionary bonus.

We embrace diversity and inclusivity, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, or family status. We prioritise supporting our employees' diverse needs as we strive for excellence together.

If the above resonates with you, apply with an up-to-date CV and be a part of our journey to reshape the future of science.
