 * Work on specialist Industrial IoT technology with real-world industrial applications.

 * Exposure to challenging electronics design and international certification projects.

 * A collaborative and supportive engineering environment., If you have a background in electronics hardware development and experience with ATEX / IECEx or international product certification, we'd love to hear from you.

## Description

You will play a key role in developing wireless sensing and connectivity products, ensuring electronic designs meet demanding performance, reliability and regulatory standards.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Electronics Hardware Development Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development and validation of electronic hardware across the full product lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

 * Developing electronic hardware solutions for next-generation Industrial IoT products.

 * Designing circuit architectures and PCB layouts, using Altium for schematic capture and board development.

 * Supporting the development of intrinsically safe electronics for hazardous-area applications.

 * Contributing to ATEX / IECEx certification and ensuring products meet relevant regulatory standards.

 * Supporting wider electronics product certification requirements across European and international markets.

 * Carrying out hardware testing, verification and troubleshooting to ensure product performance and reliability.

 * Preparing technical reports, test documentation and engineering records.

 * Managing design documentation, including bills of materials, revision control and engineering changes.

 * Working with external certification bodies and test laboratories to support product approvals.

 * Collaborating with firmware, mechanical and data engineers throughout the development process.

 * Taking responsibility for technical deliverables and, where appropriate, supporting smaller engineering projects.
