About the role
An established, award-winning UK manufacturer of monitoring instrumentation used across the utilities sector. Growing demand means this role is now live, and you’ll have significant ownership over the R&D process.
The company’s mission
Designing and building the sensing instruments that keep critical water infrastructure measured and compliant.
Role Overview
A hands-on role covering both sides of the board. You’ll design the circuits and custom PCBs behind new sensors, then write and maintain the C firmware that runs on them. Your time will be split between new product development, prototyping and supporting the existing range.

- AC/DC power supply design
- Designing to EMC and LVD requirements from the outset, not as an afterthought
- Building and testing prototypes of new instruments
What You’ll Own – Firmware
- Planning the architecture of new firmware and prototyping it on ARM microcontrollers
- Writing, testing and maintaining bare-metal embedded C across new and existing products
What You’ll Own – Product Support
- Diagnosing and fixing issues on the current range quickly
- Maintaining firmware and hardware across products already in service
What We’re Looking For – Essential
- Analogue and digital electronics design, including AC/DC power
- Designing electronics to regulatory standards, including EMC and LVD
- Building, testing and maintaining firmware and hardware on ARM microcontrollers
- Planning firmware architecture and prototyping new firmware from a blank page
- Maintaining and debugging bare-metal embedded C
What We’re Looking For – Useful
- A solid science education alongside your engineering background
- Some FPGA experience
- KiCad for PCB design
- RTOS development
- UI implementation with LVGL
Package
- Up to £50,000 depending on experience, plus annual performance bonus
- Life cover at 4x salary, Employee Assistance Programme and free parking
- Ongoing training and professional development
