Did you know?

In some regions our amazing products are considered to be medical devices. This means we maintain our Medical Device quality management system in compliance with ISO 13485:2016, to support the development of our groundbreaking products

About the role:

Okay, we’ve waffled long enough. So let’s get to the good bit: You.

As a Senior Electronics Engineer your role sits within the Electronics and Embedded Firmware Team. You will be primarily focused on electronics design of new products and the maintenance and Continual Improvement of existing products. This will typically involve schematic capture, PCB layout, proto-typing and debugging of novel and existing hardware and test jigs. However, you will also be deeply involved in designing and documenting the system architecture on the projects you are responsible for and you will have a large overlap with the embedded firmware teams. You will be expected to actively support the firmware development on the hardware you design and you will liaise with Product Managers to help breakdown and specify product requirements. You may also work with our contract manufacturers, external and internal test-houses to perform product performance, EMC and other regulatory testing. Your work will have a direct impact on the lives of women and families globally, as your designs will serve both next generation products as well as being included in the products currently being mass produced.

You will have passion for technology and a deep understanding of industry leading best practices. You will be familiar with eCAD systems, Design for Manufacture and Assembly, connected devices (BLE) and low power design. Experience of designing for medical devices would also be desirable.

Location: Hybrid working; a mix of working from our Bristol office & working from home, lots of flexibility for working from home

Employment type: Permanent (please note, you must have the right to work in the UK)

What you’ll be doing at Elvie:

• Electronics design of connected devices (BLE)
• Component selection & evaluation
