Senior Mixed Signal Electronics Engineer

Quality at the heart of everything we do.FT Technologies is a market-leading SME based in Surrey and Madrid, specializing in designing and manufacturing ultrasonic wind sensors—also known as anemometers or air-flow sensors.
Our sensors are unique because they use acoustic resonance to measure wind speed, direction, and temperature within a small cavity.The wind energy industry is growing, and FT is expanding with it.
This is an excellent opportunity if you care about sustainability and the green revolution.
Over the past decade, we have tripled in size and now employ around 100 talented individuals who contribute to our mission: to engineer invention through curiosity and creativity using our core technology.Our current technology development aims to better serve our existing customers in wind energy.
With significant investment and growth, we are developing new products and manufacturing technologies to extend our wind sensors' unique capabilities to meteorology, marine, and defense markets.Located in Sunbury-on-Thames, UK (Hybrid optional)40 hours per week (Flexi-time)Please note: Candidates will be required to undergo a background and reference check as part of the hiring process.Main Tasks and ResponsibilitiesDesignDesign, develop, test, and document analogue, digital, and mixed-signal electronic circuits and PCBs.Write requirements, system, design, test, and technical specifications based on inputs from Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, or Sales.Create dFMEA for electronics design and support dFMEA for related disciplines.Support product design, system integration, verification, dFMEA & pFMEA, product validation, and handover to production alongside other Engineering team members.Assist management and other departments in customer interactions.Investigate and resolve faults on returned products, supporting troubleshooting efforts.ResearchContribute to the conceptual stage of research, design, and development.Apply problem-solving approaches and engineering theory to project challenges.Specify, develop, and evaluate novel circuit designs to demonstrate technological feasibility.Collaborate with colleagues in embedded software, mechanical design, acoustics, aerodynamics, and other disciplines to assess electronics' impact on system performance.Project ManagementManage and deliver specific NPD projects or sub-projects led by the electronics design team.Provide estimates and progress reports on work breakdown structures, tasks, and timelines.Offer guidance on electronics project management to other engineers and junior staff.Quality ControlEnsure quality control throughout the electronics development cycle using documentation, reviews, verification, validation, change, and configuration management tools like Altium ECAD & Windchill PLM.Support quality control and continuous improvement of PCBAs and products to meet customer requirements and deadlines.Continuously improve development guidelines and design control processes.Other DutiesAttend relevant training to perform duties efficiently.Comply with company policies on equal opportunities and health & safety.Perform additional duties as required within the role's scope.Skills, Abilities, and Experience (Essential)A degree in Electronics or a related field.Deep knowledge of analogue and mixed-signal circuit design, including PCB design (preferably with Altium).
