Job Description

This is a broad, hands-on senior role. You will take ownership of the electronics across architecture, schematic and PCB design, RF and cellular connectivity, sensor integration, power systems, thermal performance and long-term reliability, for products that live outdoors on streetlights in demanding conditions. The role deliberately extends beyond the PCB into the practical engineering that gets a product built well: test fixtures, production software, validation methods and manufacturing processes.

You will have significant influence over product architecture, engineering standards, design-for-manufacture, and the reliability of hardware deployed at scale in the field.

It will suit an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines: reviewing a complex design one day, debugging hardware in the lab the next, working through enclosure and thermal trade-offs with mechanical engineers, and resolving issues on the production line.

What you will do

- Own schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews and hardware release across digital, mixed-signal, power and RF sections, balancing cost, robustness, DFM and DFT
- Bring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root-cause analysis




- Design and validate high-speed interfaces, clocks, memory, cameras and other signal-integrity-sensitive circuits
- Drive EMC pre-compliance and formal compliance activities, using test results to guide practical design improvements
- Advance cellular and wireless performance through antenna tuning, placement, matching, grounding, shielding and enclosure-aware RF design
- Integrate camera, microphone, environmental and radar sensors, and validate their electrical and system-level performance
- Develop power supplies, protection, low-power behaviour and thermal performance for reliable outdoor operation
- Use CAD and 3D printing to develop enclosures, mounts, seals, prototypes, assembly aids and test jigs
- Manage component lifecycle, availability, alternates and obsolescence risk
- Build factory fixtures and automated workflows for programming, functional test, calibration, RF checks, traceability and reporting
- Write practical Python or C/C++ tools for test automation, DFM and engineering analysis
- Partner directly with suppliers and manufacturers on production support, yield optimisation and engineering change control
