Salary: £65,000 - £75,000 (depending on experience)

KO2's client is a leading medical device consultancy that is not only designing and developing its own innovative healthcare products but has also delivered cradle-to-grave design projects for some of the biggest OEM names in the global medical sector. With a strong track record of securing multi-year projects, they continue to grow and are now seeking a Lead Electronics Engineer to join their on-site team.

This role is ideal for a Senior Electronics Engineer looking to take the next step into technical leadership, or someone already operating at Lead level who enjoys combining hands-on engineering with team supervision and cross-functional collaboration.

You'll be joining a company of around 60 people, including a growing electronics team consisting of 3 engineers: 2 juniors and 1 senior, alongside a highly experienced Principal Hardware Engineer. The team is looking for another senior-level engineer to support the increasing workload and help shape the team's structure and processes.

The role will be roughly 30% supervisory - you'll be helping to bring organisation, mentorship, and technical guidance to the team, while still remaining hands-on with design and development. You'll be expected to contribute to schematic reviews, PCB layout checks, and FPGA development, while collaborating closely with a Principal Engineer who brings deep domain expertise.

The ideal candidate will have strong analogue and digital electronics experience and enjoy working on complex medical device systems, including projects involving microwave systems. You'll be interfacing with OEM clients as an extension of their internal design teams, managing projects that typically span 2-3 years and go through full certification and regulatory approval (including CE marking and 510K submissions).

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business with a mature quality management system, a proven product development track record, and a reputation for delivering full lifecycle design - from concept through to manufacture - in one of the most technically challenging and rewarding sectors.

Key Skills & Experience:

Strong background in analogue and digital electronics design
Experience with PCB schematic capture and layout reviews
FPGA development knowledge
Proven ability to supervise or mentor engineering teams
Comfortable interfacing with senior technical stakeholders
Experience in medical device development (or other highly regulated environments) is a strong advantageIf you're looking for a technically diverse, hands-on role that also gives you the chance to step into leadership and make a real impact on products that improve lives, KO2's client would love to hear from you.
