Principal Electronic Architect
 
Stevenage
 
Salary up to £70k + Bonus + Pension
 
This role sits at the architectural level of complex electronic equipment.
 
You will define electronic and electrical architectures, decompose system requirements, and ensure delivery of technically robust solutions within severe physical and environmental constraints.
 
This is not detailed PCB layout.

This is system-level electronic architecture.
 
You’ll work closely with the Engineering Project Manager, leading technical delivery and ensuring alignment to performance, cost and schedule commitments.
 
You should bring strong experience in:
  • Digital electronics and microprocessor-based systems
  • Distributed power architectures
  • Safety-critical equipment design
  • Secure data handling systems
  • Integration of hardware with embedded software / firmware
  • Thermal management in compact, high-density designs
Exposure to SoC technologies, RF, signal processing, SDR, EMC and environmental qualification would strengthen your profile.
 
Due to security clearance requirements, you will hold British citizenship or be a dual national with British citizenship.
 
If you enjoy owning the technical direction of complex electronic systems rather than just contributing to them, this is worth a conversation.
