Job Description
Our client is entering a significant growth phase and is looking to hire an electronics-focused Application Engineer to join their expanding technical team.
The company develops advanced software tools used by engineering teams to support and streamline electronic product development. Their platform helps engineers move more efficiently from early design concepts through to production-ready hardware, reducing complexity and improving development speed. The business works with a broad range of electronics professionals and continues to grow rapidly as demand for modern design tools increases.
The team is highly technical, collaborative, and engineering-led, with a strong emphasis on quality, learning, and solving real-world engineering challenges.
The Role
This is a hands-on Application Engineer position that sits at the intersection of electronics engineering and customer enablement.
You'll work closely with engineers using the company's tools, helping them interpret design goals, develop electronic solutions, and navigate the platform effectively throughout the design process.
This role would suit someone who enjoys practical electronics design but also likes explaining ideas, supporting other engineers, and working closely with users in a technical environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Supporting engineers in structuring and interpreting electronic design requirements
- Assisting users with schematic development and component selection using internal tools
- Running technical walkthroughs, training sessions, and support discussions
- Delivering product demonstrations to prospective users
- Researching and identifying suitable electronic components where required
- Collaborating with software, product, and customer teams to resolve technical issues and improve usability
This is a customer-facing role, but it remains technically focused and engineering-driven rather than sales-oriented.
What They're Looking For
- 4-7 years' experience in electronic design
- Strong background in schematic capture and PCB design
- Experience working on commercial or industrial hardware products
- Familiarity with professional ECAD tools such as Altium, Cadence, or similar
- Solid understanding of component selection, BOMs, and design trade-offs
- Comfortable explaining technical concepts to other engineers
- Curious, adaptable, and keen to learn new software tools
Nice to Have
- Previous application engineering or customer-facing technical experience
- Some exposure to embedded systems or firmware development
Working Style
- Hybrid working model (2 days on-site, 3 remote)
- Close collaboration with software, product, and customer teams
- Opportunity to influence product direction through real user feedback
Why This Role Is Interesting
- Combines hands-on electronics engineering with direct user impact
- Opportunity to work within a technically strong and collaborative team
- A chance to move closer to product development and customers without leaving engineering behind
On offer is a salary up to £70k DOE + benefits including pension, 25 days holiday, and further flexibility around remote working.
