Hardware Engineer

Cambridge | On-site (5 days)

up to £55k+ benefits

Do you want to take a design all the way from concept through to full production, rather than handing it off halfway? Do you have a passion for automotive engineering and want to see your work go into vehicles on the road?

We're working with an established automotive technology business, developing safety-critical electronics hardware for complex electromechanical systems - think active suspension, active aero and powered door products - as they look to appoint a Hardware Engineer to join their growing team.

You’ll have the opportunity to own designs end to end: architecture, requirements capture and schematic capture through to verification, validation and production - covering circuit design (H-bridge, MOSFET switching, current sensing, op-amps, microcontroller peripherals, SPI/I2C/CAN/LIN/Ethernet), SPICE simulation, DFMEAs and WCCA, plus commissioning and EMC/environmental testing. You’ll also work with manufacturing and CEM partners on cost-down and design-for-manufacture.

What You’ll Bring:
2+ years experience in electronics hardware design- experience in automotive/regulated industries would be beneficial
Strong analogue and mixed-signal circuit design experience, including motor/solenoid drive,



MOSFET switching and current sensing
Experience with microcontroller-based designs and common communications interfaces (SPI, I2C, CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
Experience with design analysis techniques - SPICE simulation, derating, DFMEA, worst-case circuit analysis
A track record of taking designs through commissioning, verification and validation, including EMC and environmental testing
Comfortable working to industry-standard processes and producing transparent, thorough design documentation

Also Valued:
Experience designing safety-related or functionally protected hardware
PCB layout and routing experience, ideally using third-party layout resources
Experience taking a design from architecture through to full production
Design for test and design for qualification experience
Confidence writing simple hardware test software
A hands-on lab background - scopes, signal generators, DMMs, soldering through-hole and SMT components

This would suit someone who wants genuine ownership of the electronics - from the detail of the circuit through to a qualified, production-ready product - and who’s happy working to deadlines within a collaborative, quick-moving team.
