London, United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory (NPL) Full time

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to join our growing Engineering team at NPL. Reporting into the Principal Engineer, you will play a vital part in stretching our capability and taking our research to the next level. In this hybrid role you will spend approx. 2 - 3 days a week on site in Teddington, and 2 - 3 days working remotely. We value your work-life balance and are open to discuss flexible or part-time working arrangements to accommodate your needs.

As our Senior Electronics Engineer, you will provide specialist expertise in instrumentation and automation systems design, whilst being responsible for assuring compliance with legislation and standards of products provided by NPL. Your work will have a tangible impact on our business and the UK as a whole. You will work with a team of professionals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, celebrating the unique contributions that everyone brings to the team.

As a senior member of the team, you'll supervise those with less experience - sharing your knowledge and motivating them to do better. As an expert in your field, not only will you provide everyday design solution advice, you'll also provide a consultancy service as needed across the department.

What you'll be doing:

  • Identifying and assist in capturing customer requirements
  • Designing automation, instrumentation and safety systems and products
  • Transferring requirements into designs and specifications
  • Installing, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning automation systems
  • Sourcing and testing instrumentation to prove suitability for application
  • Preparing design risk assessments
  • Issuing electrical wiring and interconnection drawings using CAD
  • Managing and maintaining system documentation
  • Checking designs and documentation for correctness and compliance with standards
  • Working with suitable suppliers of equipment, services, and material

Please note, this role is known internally as 'Senior Design Engineer'

About You

We believe that diversity and unique perspectives are key to the success of our engineering projects. For this role, we particularly encourage applications from candidates underrepresented in STEM disciplines, in particular women, disabled, black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, as well as the Armed Forces service leavers looking to transition into civilian workforce.

What you can bring to the role, skills and experience in:

  • Designing electrical automation, instrumentation, and safety systems
  • Small Signal Electronics
  • Microcontrollers
  • Prototype tests and validation
  • Creating and interpreting electrical schematics
  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Design
  • Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) Design
  • Digital Signal Processors (DSP) Design
  • Sizing protection components and cables
  • BSc degree qualification in an Electrical, Electronic or Control Engineering discipline or equivalent experience

We would also welcome the following:

  • Experience applying electrical safety standards (BS/EN 61010-1)

If it sounds like you would be a good fit, we look forward to hearing from you. In return for your expertise, inclusive approach, and commitment, we will provide an attractive salary + benefits package and the chance to join a passionate and welcoming team.

We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
