Senior Hardware Engineer

This Cambridge team are a dedicated engineering group and part of a larger organisation. Their remit is to work on bespoke projects relating to electronics and software for high voltage power applications. They are looking to recruit a Senior Hardware Engineer to join them.

As part of this small, Cambridge team, you would provide hands on expertise and technical experience in the development, verification and build of power electronics. You would work with colleagues in Germany on some projects and deliver innovative solutions. These projects will be best suited to an all rounder Hardware Engineer - someone comfortable with variety from high voltage layout for PCBs, to FPGA design using VHDL / Verilog and C/C++ for embedded software.

• Demonstrable relevant experience with FPGAs (VHDL / Verilog) and writing software for embedded processors.
• Experience in power electronics control algorithms.
• Proficiency with PCB design used in power electronics.
• Experience with C / C++ embedded software. Additional experience with Python for automated tests or MATLAB for real time control would be desirable.

Interested candidates are expected to be university graduates (ideally electronics or similar) and have experience working in a small engineering team on various project areas.

Team leadership or management experience is not required.

Please note that applicants on time restricted visas or requiring company sponsorship will not be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity to join this established team, work with like minded engineers and gain experience of a wide range of projects. Due to the nature of the work, project work is typically onsite, but the company does try to accommodate and provide flexibility where possible.
