Electronics Engineer

Location: Horningsea

Socode are partnering with a Cambridge-based deep-tech business developing advanced sensor technology at the cutting edge of electronics and micro-scale systems. As their engineering team continues to grow, they’re looking to hire an Electronics Engineer to support the design and development of next-generation sensing hardware.

This is a hands-on role within a fast-moving R&D environment. You’ll be working on precision analogue and mixed-signal electronics, supporting everything from concept design through to board bring-up and validation. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys technical depth, low-noise design challenges and working close to the physics of a device.

What will you be doing?
Designing and developing analogue and power circuitry from concept through to tested hardware
Creating schematics and PCB layouts using industry-standard CAD tools
Developing digital electronics to support sensor signal conditioning and feedback control systems
Working on mixed-signal board-level designs integrating analogue and digital subsystems
Assembling, testing and debugging prototype circuits and modules
Contributing to low-noise front-end electronics development for precision sensor systems
Supporting oscillator, timing and frequency control circuitry where required
Running electrical test and measurement activities to validate performance
Documenting designs, test procedures and results clearly for internal review
Collaborating closely with mechanical, firmware and sensor engineers in a multidisciplinary team

What are they looking for?
Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering
A couple of years’ industry experience designing and testing electronic hardware
Solid grounding in analogue and digital circuit design principles
Experience using PCB design software such as Altium for schematic capture and layout review
Background in mixed-signal electronics at board level
Familiarity with low-noise analogue front ends and precision signal conditioning
Understanding of control electronics for sensors, including feedback or temperature control systems
Comfortable working with test and measurement equipment during bring-up and validation
Clear communicator who can work both independently and within a team
Able to operate effectively in a deep-tech or R&D-focused environment where priorities can shift

Nice to have

Experience with oscillator design, PLLs, gain control circuits or timing systems
Familiarity with SPICE simulation, MATLAB or Python for circuit modelling and analysis
Exposure to MEMS-based devices or precision electronic instrumentation
Experience working on frequency control or high-stability electronic systems
