Alfen Recruitment is proud to be working exclusively with a leading innovator in electronic systems, seeking a talented Senior Design Engineer to join their dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects, developing and designing advanced electronic modules and PCBs for high-performance products.

Your Mission:

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, testing, and optimising electronic circuits — both analog and digital — while collaborating closely with internal teams to bring concepts from design to high-volume production.

Key Responsibilities:

* Develop, design, and test electronic modules and PCBs.

* Create detailed circuit diagrams aligned with product requirements.

* Lead analog design efforts, including amplifiers, filters, and power electronics.

* Drive digital design projects, covering high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet), timers, counters, ADCs, and FPGAs.

* FPGA design and development — a core focus of this role.

* Perform mixed-signal simulations, analysis, and fault-finding to refine designs.

* Prototype, verify, and troubleshoot electronic systems.

* Prepare technical documentation: test plans, reports, and bills of materials (BOMs).

* Support production testing and engineering change management.

* Collaborate with engineering teams to take concepts from design to delivery.

* Continuously enhance design skills and share knowledge with the team.

What We're Looking For:

* Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.

* 10+ years' experience in analog and digital circuit design and development.

* Strong expertise in FPGA design — essential.

* Proficient in high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet).

* Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontroller programming.

* Skilled in circuit simulation, PCB layout, and prototyping.

* Familiarity with design tools like Altium.

* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Key Attributes:

* Proactive and goal-oriented.

* Excellent communication and listening skills.

* Strong team player with organisational awareness.

* Focused on delivering high-quality solutions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Design Engineer to work on innovative electronic solutions within a supportive and collaborative environment.
