Senior Hardware & Electronics Engineer

This is a senior, end-to-end engineering role where you'll take ownership of complex electronic designs from early concept through to factory NPI and certification. You'll work across electronic hardware, embedded firmware, testing, and validation, collaborating closely with software, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing teams.

If you enjoy solving complex technical problems, taking products from idea to production, and seeing your designs used at the very highest level of sport, this role will suit you.

What you'll be doing:

• Contributing to new and existing product developments from concept through to implementation, including hardware design, firmware, testing, validation, and NPI
• Driving circuit-level hardware design, including architecture, component selection, schematic capture, BoM generation, library management, PCB layout oversight, simulation, fabrication, prototyping, and board bring-up
• Designing and integrating complex PCB and cable assemblies within constrained mechanical enclosures
• Creating mechanical models of PCB designs and collaborating with mechanical designers to ensure correct fit and integration
• Working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver projects on time and within budget across the full product lifecycle
• Designing and interfacing hardware peripherals, including sensors, power management devices, communication interfaces, opto-electronics, actuators, microcontrollers, and FPGAs
• Designing and working with AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems
• Developing embedded firmware in C/C++ (Python experience an advantage) for ARM Cortex-based systems
• Implementing and debugging communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and similar
• Ensuring DFM/DFT considerations are applied throughout the electronic factory workflow
• Designing test procedures, test rigs, and validation tools, and generating clear test reports
• Supporting compliance and certification activities, including CE, EMC, FCC, FDA, and UL
• Conducting and supporting EMC testing such as ESD, immunity, transient, conducted and radiated emissions
• Applying tools such as FMEA to identify, analyse, and document system and component failures
• Performing hands-on hardware and firmware debugging, including component replacement and fixture support
• Participating in technical design reviews to ensure electrical integrity, safety, and quality
• Supporting project planning, schedules, cost estimates, and delivery commitments in collaboration with the PMO
• Actively contributing to quality improvements and adherence to the QA process, * A senior role shaping hardware used by elite athletes worldwide
• End-to-end ownership of product development, from concept to production
• Collaboration with world-class engineers across hardware, firmware, software, mechanical design, and manufacturing
• Exposure to cutting-edge wearable and sports technology
• A culture that values innovation, quality, and engineering excellence
• The opportunity to leave a lasting mark on products used at the highest level of sport

Do you have experience in Python?, You'll likely enjoy this role if you:

• Have a degree in Engineering (or equivalent)
• Have 5+ years' experience designing and testing analogue, digital, and mixed-signal electronics
• Can take products from concept through to factory NPI using structured EDA workflows
• Are experienced with PCB design, component selection, sourcing, and DFM considerations
• Have strong embedded firmware knowledge and experience implementing algorithms in firmware
• Are comfortable working with ARM Cortex microcontrollers and common embedded protocols
• Have experience with compliance and certification testing
• Are confident using collaborative tools such as GIT, JIRA, or similar
• Have strong hands-on assembly and debug skills
• Can manage technical complexity while balancing timelines, quality, and cost
• Communicate clearly and work effectively within multidisciplinary teams

Nice to have (but not essential):

Experience in areas such as medical devices, formal project management training, advanced EMC testing, FPGA development, or consumer electronics at scale is a bonus, but not required.
