Colchester, Essex
Excellent salary and benefits package

We are a recruitment company and our client an international company specialising in the design and manufacture of custom designed industrial computer boards for critical embedded applications is looking for an experienced Hardware Design Engineer.

The more senior role will involve additional team management responsibilities, both at the technical level and also in terms of personnel management.
Working in a small company environment means that the majority of each design is completed by an individual engineer, who quickly becomes involved with all aspects of the product design and development. Short design timescales are an important part of our development strategy, which also results in our engineers being involved in many different product designs quite quickly.
