Play a pivotal role in designing the electronics behind safety-critical nuclear systems where precision and reliability truly matter! As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer with our Wimborne Curtiss Wright facility, you’ll be part of a highly skilled team delivering analogue, digital, and computer-based safety systems, contributing across the full lifecycle from requirements capture and compliance-driven design to documentation, analysis, and ongoing system support. Working in a highly regulated environment, you’ll apply rigorous engineering principles with a strong emphasis on classical analysis and modelling of analogue instrumentation front-ends, helping ensure the performance, integrity, and safety of complex systems and products.

Location: Wimborne, UK

Your Challenge:

• Produce and peer review technical reports, drawings and designs for safety, functionality and compliance with standards and statutory requirements

• Provide a technical lead in specified areas for the team and the company as a whole

• Establish customer solutions and support discussions of the proposed solution(s) with customer representatives to agree the optimum outcome in terms of cost, timescale and ease of implementation

What You Bring:

• Security contractual compliance will require incumbents to be a sole British National.

• Degree educated in Electronics Engineering or demonstrable industry experience in an electronics design role, including schematic design, PCB layout and mixed-mode simulation thereof (e.g. Altium)

• A firm theoretical understanding and practical experience of the subtleties of analogue electronics design in instrumentation front-ends – e.g. noise, frequency response, cabling and temperature sensitivity effects; the mechanisms, analysis and modelling thereof

• Exposure to and understanding of the use of the major digital electronics families and device categories

• Experience of the systems engineering of complete electronic systems, including integration of PCBs into electronics racks/cabinets, and the thermal and reliability engineering aspects thereof

• Use of modern instrumentation, e.g. digital mixed mode oscilloscopes and programmable instrumentation
