Electronics Engineer (Embedded Systems)

Nottingham
Circa £50,000
08:00-17:00 (site-based)

The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an Electrical / Electronics Engineer to join a growing engineering team developing next-generation products within the electric vehicle (EV) charging and power control space.
This is a hands-on role where you will take products from concept through design, validation, certification and into volume production. The business is scaling rapidly in response to evolving EV regulations and expanding international markets.
You will join a collaborative engineering team of around 20 people, working closely with embedded software and EV domain specialists.

The Role

This position sits at the intersection of hardware and embedded software. You will be:

• Designing schematics and PCBs (Altium Designer preferred)
• Developing hardware around 32-bit processors (ARM-based platforms including i.MX93)
• Bringing up boards and writing low-level drivers
• Integrating devices via I2C, SPI, CAN, Modbus and related buses
• Working at driver level within embedded Linux or RTOS environments
• Supporting validation, certification and transition to volume manufacture
• Contributing to power electronics systems including mains-voltage switching and charge controller design

There is also opportunity to support:

• Embedded Linux (Yocto-based systems)
• Test tooling and small PC-based applications (Python, C#, etc.)

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Minimum HND (UK) ideally a degree from a UK university in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or similar
• Strong schematic capture and PCB design experience (Altium preferred)
• Experience taking at least one product from concept through validation and into production
• Solid embedded C / C++ (compiled language) capability
• Low-level driver development experience
• Experience working with hardware communication buses (I2C, SPI, CAN, Modbus etc.)
• Experience integrating chips into RTOS or embedded Linux environments

Desirable:

• ARM Cortex experience (i.MX93 beneficial)
• Embedded Linux / Yocto experience
• FPGA exposure
• Experience writing PC-based test applications (Python, C#, Visual C++)
• EV, charging infrastructure or power electronics exposure
• Experience working with mains voltage switching / relay control

The Environment

• Site-based engineering role (standard hours 08:00-17:00 to support factory integration)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Two-stage interview process (Teams + onsite technical deep dive)
• Engineers are expected to demonstrate genuine ownership of previous projects

Why Join?

• Work in a fast-moving EV sector with strong regulatory and commercial drivers
• Opportunity to influence products entering international markets
• Exposure across hardware, firmware and system-level integration
• Growing team with strong technical leadership
• Genuine end-to-end product ownership
