Principal Electronic Design Engineer

We are recruiting on behalf of a electronics engineering organisation looking to appoint an experienced Principal Electronic Design Engineer to take a leading role across a range of complex engineering projects. This is a senior technical position suited to an experienced electronics engineer who enjoys taking ownership of projects, coordinating engineering activity and providing technical guidance to other engineers, without necessarily wanting a traditional people-management role.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior or Principal Electronic Design Engineer looking for a role that combines technical engineering knowledge with project ownership, technical leadership and the opportunity to influence how engineering projects are delivered.

Principal Electronic Design Engineer - The role - PCB, Circuit Design, Prototype, Test, Manufacturing

* You will act as a key technical point of contact across multiple projects, helping to ensure electronic and hardware engineering deliverables are completed to the required standards of quality, safety, cost and timescale.
* A major part of the role will involve project coordination and technical leadership.
* You will work closely with engineering colleagues, project managers and other stakeholders to define requirements, plan engineering activities, resolve technical issues and ensure projects progress effectively from concept through design, verification, validation and delivery.
* You will also support and guide other engineers within the team, providing technical direction, reviewing engineering work and helping less experienced engineers develop their capabilities.

Key responsibilities will include coordinating electronic and hardware engineering activity across multiple projects, providing technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams, managing technical project priorities and deliverables, supporting project planning and resource requirements, reviewing designs and technical documentation, ensuring engineering solutions meet customer and regulatory requirements, and maintaining high standards of technical, quality and safety compliance.

Principal Electronic Design Engineer - Skills - PCB, Circuit Design, Prototype, Test, Manufacturing

* You will also contribute to the continued development of engineering tools, processes and working practices, helping to improve both the quality and efficiency of engineering delivery.
* We are looking for an experienced Electronic Design Engineer who has progressed into a senior, lead or principal-level position and is comfortable taking technical ownership of complex engineering projects.
* You should have a strong background in electronic product design and development, together with experience of taking products or systems through the full engineering lifecycle.
* Previous experience coordinating projects, leading technical work packages or guiding other engineers will be particularly important. You should be comfortable balancing multiple priorities and communicating effectively with engineering, project and commercial stakeholders.
* A degree or equivalent qualification in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related STEM discipline would be preferred.
