Electronics Design & Test Engineer

We’re working with a growing engineering business operating across the space and defence sectors who are looking for an Electronics Design & Test Engineer to join their team in Glasgow.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across the full electronics lifecycle, from initial design and prototyping through to testing, integration and final validation. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of technology including flight and ground electronics, PCB design, wiring harnesses, instrumentation, data acquisition and power distribution.

What you'll be doing

• Designing electronic hardware across analogue, digital and power electronics
• Producing schematics and PCB layouts
• Designing wiring harnesses and interconnects
• Building, testing and debugging prototypes
• Supporting PCB bring-up and troubleshooting
• Creating and running hardware verification and validation test plans
• Working with oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analysers and other lab equipment
• Supporting instrumentation and data acquisition for major test campaigns
• Analysing test results and feeding findings back into design improvements
• Working closely with mechanical, software and systems engineers
• Supporting design reviews and producing technical documentation

What we're looking for

Ideally, you’ll have 5–10 years' experience in electronics design, preferably within space, aerospace, defence or another complex electro-mechanical environment.

You should have strong experience with:

• Analogue, digital and power electronics
• Schematic capture and PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer or Zuken E3
• Hands-on electronics testing and debugging
• PCB manufacturing, soldering/rework and wiring harnesses
• Electronics manufacturing and IPC standards
• Developing products for challenging operational environments
• Taking electronic products through the full development lifecycle

Experience with EMC testing, RF/telemetry, LabVIEW, SCADA, embedded C, aerospace wiring or environmental testing would be beneficial but isn't essential.

You’ll need to be a UK national and eligible to obtain and maintain UK security clearance/BPSS.

This is a great opportunity for an electronics engineer who enjoys being genuinely hands-on and wants to work on technically challenging hardware across the space and defence sectors.
