Senior Electrical Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer to play a key role in the development, enhancement, and support of cutting-edge medical technology products. This position involves taking ownership of electronic design activities across multiple projects, guiding technical decisions, and supporting the long-term performance of existing products. The successful candidate will act as a senior technical figure within the electronics group, offering direction, mentoring, and representing the team in cross-functional discussions.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead the creation and delivery of electronic designs from initial concept through to full-scale manufacture.
• Act as a technical authority on electronic systems used in externally powered medical equipment and support both new development initiatives and ongoing product improvements.
• Review technical data, test outcomes, and design documentation to recommend optimal components and engineering approaches.
• Identify opportunities to refine engineering processes and collaborate with cross-functional colleagues to enhance efficiency and workflow.
• Ensure all activities reflect a strong commitment to patient safety, product reliability, and adherence to internal quality systems.
• Communicate effectively across teams and provide clear updates to senior stakeholders.
• Offer technical guidance and problem-solving support to development teams when needed.
• Operate independently, managing workload and priorities in line with project and business needs.
• Delegate tasks effectively across an engineering team when handling larger or more complex projects.
• Support and mentor junior engineers, helping to develop their technical skills and engineering judgement.

• Honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a regulated industry (medical devices strongly preferred).
• Familiarity with global electrical standards (e.g., IEC 60601, IEC 61000 or similar).
• Strong communication, organisational, and time management capabilities.
• Solid background in electronic design methodologies, including simulation, schematic development, and PCB layout.
• Hands-on experience designing control and drive circuitry for DC, stepper, or BLDC motors.
• Confident working in a lab environment, including debugging, prototyping, and using electronic test equipment.
• Practical experience addressing EMC challenges and developing designs that mitigate interference issues.
• Strong understanding of requirements-driven design and documentation practices.
• Experience collaborating with external suppliers or manufacturing partners.

• Postgraduate qualification (Master’s level or similar).
• Experience acting as a technical lead on multiple concurrent projects.
• Knowledge of design-for-manufacture (DFM) or design-for-test (DFT) principles.
