Senior Electronics Design Engineer Based in Stevenage. Up to £53,000 + bonus + 14% pension + paid overtime. Let's be clear. This is not a maintenance role. This is not minor PCB tweaks. And it's definitely not "business as usual" electronics. This is advanced analogue and digital hardware design on complex electronic systems, from concept through to production. Real engineering. Real accountability. You will design board-level circuitry around FPGA and SoC platforms, working closely with RF systems and multidisciplinary engineering teams. You will lead meaningful work packages, influence technical decisions, and see your designs move from idea to validated product. What you'll bring: Strong analogue and digital electronics design experience Confidence working at board level, FPGA and SoC environments Experience delivering hardware across the full lifecycle The credibility to lead design activity, not just contribute to it What you'll get: Hybrid working that actually trusts you Up to 14% pension contribution Paid overtime Up to 15 additional flexi days Complex, technically stretching defence programmes This role sits in a highly respected defence engineering environment where the work matters. The standards are high, and so is the impact. Due to security requirements, you must be a British citizen or dual UK national with British citizenship. If you're ready for engineering that genuinely stretches you, this is worth a conversation.
