We are seeking a highly experienced Electronic Engineer Consultant to join a high-calibre team of consultants, developing advanced surgical devices from early concept through to market readiness. This is a hands-on, technically challenging role for an Electronics Architect who would mentor others, combining deep electronics expertise with consultancy skills, commercial awareness and the drive to deliver robust, high-quality products in a regulated environment.
As an Electronics Architect, you will work closely with our multidisciplinary teams, clients and stakeholders, you will lead projects and contribute to the design, development, verification and transfer to manufacture of complex electronic systems for surgical technology applications. You will be expected to understand the broader product, clinical and commercial context, bringing clarity to ambiguous technical challenges and helping teams move efficiently from idea to market-ready solution.
Key responsibilities:
•
Lead electronic engineering activity across the full product lifecycle, from concept generation and feasibility through detailed design iterations, verification, validation and transfer to manufacture.
•
Translate client, clinical and user needs into practical engineering requirements and commercially viable technical solutions which feed into sophisticated surgical medical technologies that improve patient outcomes.
•
Lead small and medium sized projects, and/or workstreams within larger programmes. Take ownership of, and deliver, electronics work packages – balancing technical risk, cost, speed, quality and regulatory considerations.
•
Act as a trusted technical authority on projects, defining system architectures, identifying key interaction points between subsystems and communicating complex engineering topics clearly to internal teams, external clients and stakeholders.
•
Review scope of projects and provide practical insight and guidance to other Consultants to strengthen technical quality, delivery confidence and design rigour.
•
Support business development and proposal activity, participating in sales meetings and providing technical and commercial insight to help shape compelling, accurately costed proposals for single-phase programmes and end-to-end developments.
•
Mentor less experienced engineers and help build collaborative, high-performing project teams.
•
Minimum 10 years’ experience in electronic engineering within product development, ideally within medical devices, surgical systems or another highly regulated sector.
•
Able to design complex electronics schematics and PCB layouts for analogue, digital and power circuitry for embedded systems, including high-speed digital designs.
•
Proven ability to take complex products or systems from concept through development and transfer-to-manufacture.
•
Strong project management capability, including requirements gathering, planning, prioritisation, stakeholder communication and delivery against milestones.
•
Commercial acumen, with the ability to make sound engineering decisions that consider product value, manufacturability, cost, risk and client needs.
•
Collaborative, proactive and driven, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to thrive in fast-moving multidisciplinary teams.
•
It would be beneficial, but not essential to bring an awareness of electronic system design, including digital electronics, embedded systems and FPGA development and experience with C and C++ in embedded or hardware-adjacent development environments.
You will also be:
•
Intellectually curious and eager to explore new perspectives.
•
Strategically focused yet responsive and adaptive in execution.
•
Commercially minded – able to spot opportunities, shape proposals, and win follow-on work.
•
A confident, clear, and empathetic communicator who builds trust with clients and colleagues alike.
•
An empowering leader who coaches others to grow.
•
Willing to travel for in-person meetings and client engagements.
