Electronics Hardware Engineer

Are you an innovative Electronics Hardware Engineer with a passion for developing cutting-edge subsea technology? Join our Electronic Hardware team and contribute to the design and development of world-class underwater acoustic systems, data loggers, Doppler velocity logs, and more.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled engineer who thrives in a hands-on environment and enjoys solving complex technical challenges.

As an Electronics Hardware Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and supporting the electronics and embedded firmware that power our subsea instruments. If you join you will be:

• Designing digital (FPGA & MPU) and analogue electronics with a focus on low power consumption and low-noise performance
• Ensuring all designs meet EMC requirements, contributing to EMC testing and compliance
• Leading hardware design reviews and evaluating techniques to choose the best engineering solutions
• Developing embedded C and/or C++ applications for microprocessors
• Performing hands-on electronics and embedded software fault-finding
• Producing high-quality documentation to support development and future maintenance
• Staying ahead of industry trends, tools, and technologies
• Supporting continuous improvement of engineering processes

Some travel is required, including visits to our Plymouth trial site., While this role has no direct reports, you will be expected to mentor colleagues, guide design decisions, and uphold quality standards across engineering and production support. Why Join Us?

• If you want to help deliver innovative subsea technologies that make a real impact in marine, defence, offshore, and science industries, this role offers the chance to work at the forefront of ocean engineering with a team that values quality, curiosity, and technical excellence.
