Contract Electronics Engineer

£45 - £60 per hour
Temporary
Contract Electronics Engineer 
Cambridge: Hybrid (3-4 days on site)
Contract: 12 Months, Inside IR35
Rate: Flexible

Enjoy taking electronic designs from NPI into full production and owning what happens when things go wrong on the line?

We're working with a business bringing an advanced connected hardware product into volume manufacturing. They need an Electronics Engineer to lead hardware changes across new and legacy products, drive DFx and NPI work, own failure analysis and reliability testing, and act as the go-to component engineer as they support production sites worldwide and liaise with contract manufacturers, suppliers and engineering colleagues based internationally.

What You'll Bring
  • Strong grasp of electronic design principles and design-for-manufacture
  • Comfortable working across multiple engineering disciplines on one product
  • Several years' hands-on experience navigating global compliance and regulatory requirements
  • Working knowledge of PCB/PCBA design and assembly, batteries, RF, IR, and ATE-based testing
  • Board design experience in Altium or OrCAD is a plus
  • Confident communicator in English, written and verbal, including to senior stakeholders
  • Used to working in a matrixed, cross-cultural, global organisation
  • Genuinely hands-on with hardware, embedded interfaces, networking and debugging
Also Valued
  • Familiarity with SQA processes and LabVIEW
  • Background with RF or other connected/smart product technology
  • Comfortable operating in complex, multidisciplinary projects
  • Experience coordinating with subcontractors and manufacturing partners on tester or prototype parts
If you want your electronics expertise to have a direct, visible line to the production floor, this is that role.
