Design and deliver high‑performance electronic circuits for precision measurement products. Define specifications with product teams, collaborate with software and mechanical engineers, ensure producibility and EMC compliance, and mentor junior engineers throughout development and transfer to production.

Lead and manage Analog IC Design engineering across Bristol and partner sites, owning NPI programmes from concept to production. Build and mentor multi-site teams, define technical strategy and roadmaps, manage schedules/budgets, ensure ISO/EHS compliance, and align engineering objectives with business planning.

Lead integration of the Auxiliary Boiler design package across multi-disciplinary teams: define integration strategy, manage 3D model integration and clash detection, coordinate suppliers, maintain BIM/data structures, support contract scopes and technical evaluations, oversee configuration control, track and resolve technical risks, and support design and constructability reviews through construction readiness.

Design and develop miniaturised optical and electro-mechanical products and encoder measurement systems. Create prototypes, run experiments, analyse production data, investigate performance issues, and collaborate with manufacturing to improve assembly and processes.

Lead earthing design studies and measurements for substations (up to 400 kV) including EMF calculations, EMI studies and lightning protection. Manage multiple projects, produce proposals, liaise with substation design teams, mitigate risks, and mentor junior engineers. Travel across the UK and overseas for site visits.

Design and deliver cable system engineering across life cycle stages including concept, detailed design, installation support and maintenance. Produce specifications and contractual documents, review and approve designs, solve technical issues, manage budgets/timetables, ensure CDM/HSE compliance, lead technical teams and innovate deliverables.

Design and implement user-facing features by combining high-quality visual design and frontend engineering. Improve and expand the design system, build flexible components, collaborate with Product Engineers, ship to users quickly, iterate from feedback, and support customer-facing issues. Work spans wireframing, UI implementation, and end-to-end technical delivery.

Design and implement polished UI/UX at scale, improve and extend the design system, collaborate with product engineers, ship end-to-end features, iterate with user feedback, and consult on bespoke design work while balancing visual design and engineering responsibilities.

The role involves designing and implementing digital systems, focusing on developing RTL designs for high-performance and power-efficient systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
