Senior Electrical Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer to play a key role in the development, enhancement, and support of cutting‑edge medical technology products. This position involves taking ownership of electronic design activities across multiple projects, guiding technical decisions, and supporting the long‑term performance of existing products. The successful candidate will act as a senior technical figure within the electronics group, offering direction, mentoring, and representing the team in cross‑functional discussions.
Core Responsibilities
Lead the creation and delivery of electronic designs from initial concept through to full‑scale manufacture.
Act as a technical authority on electronic systems used in externally powered medical equipment and support both new development initiatives and ongoing product improvements.
Review technical data, test outcomes, and design documentation to recommend optimal components and engineering approaches.
Identify opportunities to refine engineering processes and collaborate with cross‑functional colleagues to enhance efficiency and workflow.
Ensure all activities reflect a strong commitment to patient safety, product reliability, and adherence to internal quality systems.
Communicate effectively across teams and provide clear updates to senior stakeholders.
Offer technical guidance and problem‑solving support to development teams when needed.

Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a regulated industry (medical devices strongly preferred).
Familiarity with global electrical standards (e.g., IEC 60601, IEC 61000 or similar).
Strong communication, organisational, and time management capabilities.
Solid background in electronic design methodologies, including simulation, schematic development, and PCB layout.
Hands‑on experience designing control and drive circuitry for DC, stepper, or BLDC motors.
Confident working in a lab environment, including debugging, prototyping, and using electronic test equipment.
Practical experience addressing EMC challenges and developing designs that mitigate interference issues.
Strong understanding of requirements‑driven design and documentation practices.
Experience collaborating with external suppliers or manufacturing partners.
Desirable Skills
Postgraduate qualification (Master’s level or similar).
Experience acting as a technical lead on multiple concurrent projects.
