Principal Hardware Engineer - Near Edinburgh Hybrid

Having placed a number of people into their team ourselves, Lorien's long standing client based near Edinburgh - a leader in their industry with a growing and consistently award-winning product line - have asked us to help them in their searches for a Principal Hardware Engineer to join their team on a permanent basis.

Taking designs from initial concept stages to production, you'll be a driving force behind new ideas, contribute towards the ongoing improvements of key electronics and systems at the core of the product line, and work with a great team of Engineers while providing well-appreciated technical guidance.

What's more, the products you'll work on improve the lives of millions of people across the globe, and so this is truly a rewarding opportunity, and everyone in the team feels part of that journey.

Here's a snapshot of the duties involved:

  • Getting to grips with everything from concept gen, analysis and development of new digital/analogue/mixed signal electronics as well as systems architecture
  • Providing technical specs and other documentation
  • Reviewing current and new designs (as well as helping less senior Engineers with theirs)
  • Contributing to the firm's ongoing technical vision and roadmap, and identifying areas for improvement including new technologies
  • Being a bridge between the hardware and product development teams, as well as ensuring 3rd parties deliver

The kind of skills they're looking for:

  • Strong background in digital and analogue electronics design and analysis, electronics assembly processes and testing approaches
  • Background involving DFx (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Test) and EMC design
  • Ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team and with a focus on the customer's needs
  • Enjoy working as part of a team, sharing knowledge and using your expertise to help others and improve current and future product offerings
