Electronics Engineer Glasgow (office-first, some flexibility) Permanent Exciting early-stage product Life-saving technology £35,000 - £45,000 + share options, private healthcare, solid pension, more This is one of those roles that reminds you why you became an engineer. Bright Purple is working with a fast growing technology company developing a genuinely life saving medical product. They're now moving from early concept into alpha prototype and detailed design, and they're looking for an Electronics Engineer who wants real ownership, real impact, and real technical challenge. You'll be joining a small, highly capable team of two who span hardware and firmware, at a pivotal point where your design decisions will directly shape the product that goes into manufacture - and ultimately into clinical use. You'll be an experienced Electronics Engineer who's comfortable taking responsibility and making decisions, rather than just executing someone else's design. Essential Experience Degree in Electronic Engineering (or equivalent practical experience) At least 2+ years' industry experience Strong proficiency with Altium Designer, CAD software, or other PCB design technologies Excellent debug skills and confidence working in the labUnderstanding of EMC and safety compliance Experience with DFM / DFT Comfortable with soldering and rework Hands on use of lab equipment (oscilloscope, signal generator, VNA) Nice to have (but not essential) Medical device development experience Exposure to ISO 14971 risk management Familiarity with IEC 60601-1 and related standards HF / RF design experience Tools such as Keysight ADS Firmware experience, particularly with ST or Nordic Semiconductor Why this role stands out You'll work on a product that genuinely saves lives You'll have real ownership, not just a small slice of the design The team is small, focused, and highly skilled - no layers of bureaucracy Engineers here consistently talk about how valued and trusted they feel It's an exciting growth phase, with tough technical problems to solve Open to engineers from start ups or larger organisations The role is based in a central Glasgow office, ideal for engineers who enjoy collaboration and hands on development. It's an office first environment, with some ad hoc or occasional WFH flexibility by agreement. If you're an Electronics Engineer who wants your work to matter, and you're excited by taking a product from concept to reality, this is a rare opportunity. Bright Purple is an equal opportunities employer: we are proud to work with clients who share our values of diversity and inclusion in our industry.
