Electronics Engineer - Sensors

Neutra are proudly supporting a small but long-established business run from rural locations in Towcester. It was originally a distributor of sensor products but 10 years ago moved into manufacture too. It sells to a variety of markets in volume with a variety of measurands, but this role is focused on low volume automotive/aerospace/process sensors – specifically rotary and linear position sensing (including at speed measuring). All products are assembled by hand to IPC standards

What you will do:

A PCB will typically be the size of a 5p and encapsulated into the sensor.

You will work in a team of 8 people to

• Design from scratch electronic circuits and schematics typically low voltage eg 5V in 12v up to 36v output. Analogue and digital circuits, ASICS but no uPs
  
  
• Design low volume PCBs (through hole) for small circuits with emphasis on EMC considerations and size
  
  
• Develop and test circuits for functionality and DVP.
  
  What you will need
  
  
• HND, degree in electrical/electronic engineering
  
  
• Have worked on low volume, harsh environment circuit design – any industry will be considered
  
  
• Have done PCB design on a proprietary CAD package eg Mentorgraphics or similar
  
  
• Be able to design simple circuits (analogue and digital)
  
  
• Have worked on circuit development – prototyping, circuit test (so ability to use scopes and meters is essential)
  
  
• Be willing to work in a small team and be a key player within
  
  What you will get:
  
  
• Benefits package including EAP, half day finish on Fridays and variable start time during week
  
  
• Glorious rural location in an accessible market town.
  
  
• Be responsible for your own design and own work – i.e. subject matter expert
