DESCRIPTION
An exciting opportunity for an Electronics Engineer has arisen with one of our Start-up clients based in Nottingham, who are at a pivotal stage in launching their first product into the minimally invasive surgery market. As a progressive start up my client are open to hearing from candidates who are looking for a role where they will be genuinely excited by the technology they are working with, to make a difference to patient’s lives and will embrace the culture found in successful start-ups.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Working within a small team to develop system specifications and designs.
- Delivering high-quality schematics and PCB layouts, as well as embedded FPGA code.
- Delivering fast turn around proof-of-concept circuits, when appropriate.
- Delivering high-quality design documentation according to medical regulations.
- Contributing to role-specific R&D planning.
- Developing and performing testing, and other quality assurance tasks.
- Working with external suppliers for both prototypes and volume quantities.
- Debugging and fixing issues found from field testing and deployments.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
