Job description

Overview

We are looking to recruit an ambitious, versatile engineer to work on new product development as well as improvements to our existing products. This engineer should have a good knowledge of circuit design, both analogue and digital, at a schematic and board level, as well as a good working knowledge of C. Ideally, they would also be at home using 3d packages to design injection moulded plastic or folded metal enclosures. While not necessary, this would prove exceptionally useful. Most importantly, they should be keen to learn, collaborate and share their skills whilst broadening their engineering knowledge.

We have grown to offer product design and manufacture, from a singular circuit board to a completely bespoke turnkey product with a custom-designed enclosure. We also boast an in-house app and web development team, seamlessly enabling our electronics to keep up with the growth of internet-connected devices. One of our niches is ultra-low power circuit design, with many of our products lasting between 5 and 10 years on a single battery.

TAD Electronics is an engineering company designing and manufacturing a range of products in the UK. Founded in 2005, it is owned and run by engineers who focus on excellence and developing high-quality products across a range of sectors. We are an all-in-one solution, combining a proven approach to solving design and manufacturing challenges with a genuine understanding of customer-specific needs. We don’t make assumptions; instead, we focus on clear communication and collaboration.

The successful candidate must be an adaptable, enthusiastic individual with preferably at least 3 years of relevant experience working for a similar kind of electronics company; however, those without 3 years of experience that show the right aptitude and interest will also be considered.
