Electronics Engineer

Overview

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.
