We are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer with a digital focus to join our world class multidisciplinary team to help solve
complex technical challenges across a broad range of industries.
At Cambridge Consultants we help our clients develop breakthrough technology across a broad range of industries including Energy
and Industrial, Defence and Security, Consumer, Telecoms, Healthcare and Biotechnology, among various others.
As a Senior Electronics Engineer with a digital focus, you will collaborate with multi-disciplinary project teams to own and solve
the electronics aspects of complex technical challenges for a variety of clients within these industries, from start-ups to
established multinational organizations and government entities.
You will initially establish yourself as a safe pair of hands delivering electronics designs. While some of your work will involve
general-purpose electronics design, you will also be a key specialist for digital design projects.
We will provide the time and support needed to acquire additional specialist skills, such as using Signal Integrity tools like
HyperLynx, and mastering hardware design for AMD and/or Xilinx FPGAs. If you lack client-facing experience, we will also help you
develop these skills.
We are keen to support the development of our employees, and as such offer an extensive inhouse training program. As you advance
within the organisation there will be plenty of opportunities for you to develop your technical skills and specialism, take on
more leadership responsibilities and/or focus more on supporting the development of sales opportunities.
Some interesting high-speed electronics challenges that we’ve previously solved include:
Every project we do is different – we are always innovating rather than iterating, so each new project will be a brand-new
challenge.
You will also have access to our extensive in-house facilities. Should you attend a face-to-face interview, we’ll provide a tour
of our labs which support hardware development engineering during your visit. These include:
We are looking for someone with prior commercial work experience, but beyond that we can tailor the exact offer based on the
amount of experience and capability demonstrated through our interview process.
This is a client-facing role, so you will need to demonstrate great communications skills and a genuine passion for engineering!
requirements such as data throughput and power consumption
Due to the nature of some of our key projects, you must be eligible for UK security clearance to be considered for this role.
