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.
