Lead Electronics Engineer Paignton, Devon (Hybrid) Up to £100k + share options + benefits This is an exciting and new opportunity to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency. This role requires: Strong electronics product development experience within relevant technologies (see below) Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills Proven technical leadership and project management capabilities The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable More: The lead electronics engineer / project lead will be the main liaison between internal and external hardware development teams. You will oversee outsourced hardware design and integration activities, including the development of custom ASICs and high-performance network interface cards. This will involve working with suppliers in the UK and USA and assure designs meet challenging and evolving requirements and product specifications. This role demands strong technical direction, supplier management, and program/risk oversight in a dynamic, collaborative environment. Also, good electronics design / development experience would be needed. (e.g. FPGA, ASIC or highspeed network interface or optical transceiver design for photonic devices or similar.) Candidates may have worked in other arenas involving highspeed network technologies (e.g. network, and data centre hardware, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products). Knowledge of high-speed serial interfaces, DAC, ADC peripherals utilising QPSI, DSPI, SPI would be preferred. Also, Xilinx FPGA design, ASIC design, or high-speed RF signal design (>60Ghz) experience would be very useful. Skills / Experience required: Technical Project Manager / Engineering Leader A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering) Extensive industry experience of delivering complex electronics products from concept to production in a similar environment (e.g. optical transceivers, photonics, network / data centre electronics, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products) Strong electronics product development knowledge (ideally FPGA / ASIC related) Proven technical leadership and project management capabilities Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable Knowledge of high-speed serial interfaces, DAC, ADC peripherals utilising QPSI, DSPI, SPI. Also, Xilinx FPGA design, ASIC design, or high-speed RF signal design (>60Ghz) would be excellent. The Technical Project Manager / Engineering Leader role is based at the offices in Paignton, Devon and at least 3 days onsite per week is required. Some travel may be required between offices to supplier locations. Relocation assistance and working visas may be possible for the right candidate.
