Position: Electronics Engineer
Location: Oldham
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000
KO2's client, an industry leader in rail electronics, is looking for a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to join their dynamic team. Specializing in the repair and maintenance of critical rail components, including auxiliary converters, train motors, and passenger information systems, KO2's client is the trusted go-to when the original manufacturers are no longer an option. They pride themselves on extending the life of complex electronic systems where parts are often obsolete or the manufacturer has fallen short.
Role:
As an Electronics Engineer, you will work to reverse engineer rail system parts, determine their function, and repair them. You'll take on projects that require creating custom testing procedures, from Automated Test Equipment (ATE) to hybrid and manual testing, using platforms like Matlab and LabVIEW to ensure accuracy. After diagnosis and repair, each part will be rigorously tested before release, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into rail systems with zero operational issues.
In addition, the Electronics Engineer will perform condition assessments for clients looking to expand the lifespan of their products. This involves assessing and recommending component upgrades based on advanced electronics knowledge-an area that contributes to 80% of revenue.
Key Skills Required:
- Strong knowledge in Electronics Engineering with a focus on analog and digital electronics
- Ability to reverse engineer complex rail components
- Experience with ATE testing, including programming with Matlab or LabVIEW
- Diagnostic skills for assessing condition and recommending lifetime extension solutions
- Collaborative skills to work alongside four dedicated technicians
This is a rare opportunity for an Electronics Engineer to contribute to critical rail systems, apply high-level engineering skills, and work within a team known for precision and excellence. If you are an Electronics Engineer ready to bring complex rail electronics back to life, we encourage you to apply and join this innovative leader.
