Warwick | £70,000 – £80,000 | Permanent | Relocation Package Available

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Principal Electronic Engineer, or an Electrical Engineer with strong electronics design experience, who can lead and inspire a small team of development engineers. You should have a strong background in electrical or electronic design for demanding vehicle or industrial environments. This could include sensor and instrumentation design, or broader vehicle electronics and systems integration experience gained at OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers such as JLR, Perkins, Caterpillar or similar. If you're someone who naturally brings people with you and has electrical or electronic hardware design experience for heavy vehicle, off-highway or industrial applications, we would very much like to hear from you.

This role is recruiting on behalf of a globally operating manufacturer of precision fluid level sensing systems, part of a large multinational group with manufacturing facilities across the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. Their products are deployed in some of the world's most demanding heavy vehicle and off-road environments, supplying major OEMs across construction, agriculture, heavy truck, mining and industrial markets.

This is a newly created senior role at their UK site near Coventry. You will lead and develop a small team of development engineers, playing a key technical role in electrical and electronic product design, working across development from electronics architecture through to production launch.

A relocation package is available for the right candidate.

The Role

Lead, mentor and inspire a small team of development engineers, driving them forward and helping them meet development timelines
 Contribute to the architecture and development of next-generation liquid level sensing systems for heavy vehicle and off-road environments
 Support electrical and electronic design across the product lifecycle, from architecture and signal conditioning through to validation and production launch
 Deliver robust, high-performance designs for extreme environments including wide temperature ranges, high vibration, mechanical shock, EMI/EMC noise and chemical contamination
 Drive product development execution ensuring engineering rigour across architecture, design, prototyping, validation and production readiness
 Operate within automotive-grade development processes including APQP, DFMEA/PFMEA, DV/PV validation and IATF 16949

What We Are Looking For

A natural leader with the ability to engage, motivate and drive a small engineering team forward
 Strong background in electrical or electronic design engineering, either sensor and instrumentation products or broader vehicle/industrial electronics and systems integration
 Deep expertise in analogue and mixed signal circuit design
 Experience with sensing technologies such as guided wave radar, capacitive sensing, ultrasonic measurement or industrial/automotive instrumentation is an advantage, but not essential
 Demonstrated ability to design electrical or electronic systems for harsh operating environments including wide temperature ranges, high vibration and industrial exposure
 Familiarity with automotive-grade quality processes including APQP, DFMEA/PFMEA and IATF 16949
 Hands-on prototyping skills including PCB assembly and troubleshooting
 Experience in heavy vehicle, construction, agricultural or off-highway equipment markets is highly desirable
 Embedded firmware development in C/C++ and automotive communication protocols including CAN and LIN
 EMI/EMC robust design and compliance
 Degree in Electronic or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience

What Is On Offer

£70,000 to £80,000 per annum
 Relocation package available for the right candidate
 25 days holiday annually
 Company pension scheme
 Life assurance
 A genuine leadership role with global product impact across construction, agriculture, mining and commercial vehicle markets
