Senior / Principal Electronics Hardware Engineer

Location: Rochester, Kent

Working pattern: Predominantly on-site (4 days per week), with some flexibility

Contact: Emily-Karabelo Powell, Associate Director, Pearson Whiffin Recruitment

This role is suited to an experienced electronics hardware engineer who wants to work on technically complex, safety-critical products within a highly experienced engineering team.

The focus is firmly on hardware – digital and/or analogue electronics – rather than software-heavy profiles. You’ll play a key role in delivering robust designs, contributing to technical decisions, and supporting the development of less experienced engineers.

The level (Senior or Principal) will be aligned to your experience, with scope to shape the role accordingly.

What you’ll be doing

Delivering electronic hardware designs from concept through to delivery

Contributing to requirements capture, design, analysis and validation activities

Working closely with other engineering disciplines to deliver integrated solutions

Applying sound engineering judgement to balance performance, cost and schedule

Producing high-quality design documentation in line with industry standards

Supporting and mentoring junior engineers within the team

What we’re looking for

Solid experience in digital and/or analogue electronics design

Exposure to full product development lifecycles, ideally in regulated or safety-related environments

A practical, detail-focused engineering mindset with strong problem-solving skills

Confidence working within structured engineering frameworks

Degree or equivalent experience in electronics or a closely related discipline

Experience with specific tools is useful, but transferable skills from comparable environments are absolutely welcomed.

Why apply?

Work on technically challenging products where engineering quality genuinely matters

Join a highly experienced, collaborative hardware engineering team

Clear differentiation between Senior and Principal level, with progression available

Excellent benefits package, alongside competitive salary and long-term stability

A role that values engineering judgement, not just process

Existing security clearance is beneficial, but candidates able to start without it and progress through clearance are encouraged to apply
