Electronic Systems Engineer

Base pay range

Job Title: Lead Systems Engineer (High-Performance Electronic Systems) - Concept to Deployment
Location: Norfolk (Hybrid - 3 days on site)

Salary: Up to £65,000 + 3% Bonus

Sector: Advanced Electronics and High-Reliability Engineering

In many senior engineering roles, you end up pushed into pure management, losing touch with the actual hardware. You become a "paperwork engineer" rather than a problem solver. This role is designed for someone who wants the seniority of leading projects without losing their technical edge.

I am representing a high-performance engineering firm in Norfolk that develops advanced electronic systems for some of the most demanding applications in the world. They are looking for a broad, hands‑on Systems Engineer who enjoys working across the full product lifecycle, from early concept and design through to validation and global deployment.

• Fully Technical Leadership: You will lead development programmes and act as the technical authority for complex systems while staying "hands‑on" with hardware, sensors, and electronic design.
• Full Lifecycle Ownership: You aren't just a cog in the machine, you will own requirements definition, architecture, and system integration from start to finish.
• Broad Exposure: The role is intentionally varied, offering exposure across design, testing, production support, and continuous improvement.
• High‑Reliability Impact: You will be developing robust, reliable solutions for environments where failure isn't an option.

• Leading systems‑level development of electronic products from initial concept through to full‑scale production.
• Designing and validating electronic hardware with a heavy focus on advanced sensors (pressure, temperature, humidity, and signal conditioning).
• Coordinating activities across disciplines (Software, Manufacturing, and Test) to ensure manufacturable and robust designs.
• Planning and supporting testing, validation, and verification activities at the system level.
• Driving continuous improvement in product reliability and engineering processes.

• You are an experienced Engineer with a strong electronics background, comfortable working at both the system and component level.
• You have proven experience running projects or development programmes and can balance the "big picture" with technical detail.
• You have a hands‑on approach and a genuine willingness to remain technically involved in the hardware.
• Experience in regulated or high‑performance sectors (Motorsport, Automotive, Aerospace, or similar) is highly desirable.

• Salary: Up to £65,000 (negotiable based on experience).
• Bonus: Up to 3% annual bonus scheme.
• Holiday: 25 days holiday + 8 Bank Holidays.
• Working Pattern: Hybrid flexibility (3 days on‑site per week).
• Benefits: Group pension, Virtual GP access, Employee Assistance Programme, and a regular social/recognition scheme.
