Description

ABOUT US

G&H is a world leader in optical designing, testing and manufacturing. As experts in the technology of light, G&H works with customers to provide optical systems, assemblies, and components for demanding applications

Headquartered in Ilminster Somerset, UK with primary operations in the USA and Europe, G&H is recognized for the breadth of their acousto-optic, electro-optic, crystal-optic, fiber optic, and precision optic products. G&H is recognized as the preferred source for OEMs in the life sciences, industrial, and aerospace and defense industries, with a history of quality and excellence that dates back over seventy-five years.

ROLE

The Electrical Engineer for the Stingray Product Development Team is responsible for the design, development, validation, and sustainment of electrical and electronic systems supporting the Stingray product line. This role is critical to both new product development (NPD) and ongoing production support, ensuring that electrical designs are robust, manufacturable, testable, and supportable throughout the product lifecycle.

In this high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) environment, the Electrical Engineer will partner closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Operations, Test, and Supply Chain to bring products from concept through production readiness and into stable manufacturing. The role requires hands-on troubleshooting capability and a strong commitment to maintaining production flow and first-pass yield.

RESPONSIBILITIES & PERFORMANCE MEASURES

  • Design and develop electrical systems, schematics, and layouts for Stingray products, ensuring performance, reliability, manufacturability, and clear documentation.
  • Collaborate with Mechanical, Systems, and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure effective electro-mechanical integration and production-ready designs.
  • Provide hands-on troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for electrical issues encountered during production, test, or field use.
  • Partner with Operations, Test Technicians, and Quality to address yield losses, test failures, and intermittent issues while protecting schedule adherence and customer commitments.
  • Support the development and continuous improvement of electrical and functional test methods, fixtures, and acceptance criteria, ensuring alignment with design intent.
  • Promote standardized electrical design practices and documentation consistent with ISO 9001 / AS9100 requirements and continuous improvement objectives.

QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
  • At least 4 years of relevant experience in schematic design, layout, and analysis. Preferably for embedded applications.
  • Understand and analyze project requirements and constraints to design a schematic, layout, and work with PCB houses to produce a complete product.
  • Design schematics for safety critical applications while understanding power management, ESD protection, and similar safety standards.
  • Component and trace layout for signal integrity and safety while adhering to manufacturer and project constraints.
  • Circuit analysis experience with PSPICE or related.
  • Ability to read and interpret datasheets, schematics, layouts, and wiring diagrams
  • ECAD experience (Altium is heavily preferred, Eagle, KiCad, or similar)
  • Knowledge of using lab test equipment (bench-top power supplies, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.)
  • Familiarity with standard bus protocols (I2C, SPI / QSPI, UART, and USB)
  • Familiarity with low level programming knowledge (embedded C, C++, or Rust)
  • Design for manufacturing (understanding of design rules and producing required documentation and files.
  • Documentation of electrical schematics experience

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with implementing sensors (thermistors, hall effect, reed switch, etc.)
  • Hands on prototyping (soldering, protoboards, breadboards, board assembly, etc.)
  • Ability to create and interpret wire harness designs
  • Experience with motors (brushed, brushless, and stepper)
  • Experience with quadrature encoders
  • Scripting (python, bash, etc.)
  • Solid modelling (Solidworks, fusion, or similar)
  • Experience with PCB and wiring safety standards and principles (automotive, for example)

About Company

G&H was founded G&H in Ilminster, Somerset in 1948. The core skills at the time were centered on manufacturing scientific optical components and crystalline materials. These skills are still very much at the cornerstone of the current operations at Ilminster with global sales of acousto-optics, crystal optics and precision optics. The company now works as a supply chain partner in aerospace & defence, industrial, life science and scientific research sectors providing systems and components based on a broad range of photonic technologies.

From its origins as a craft-based optical engineering company rich in practical optical manufacturing skills, G&H has undergone a transformation over the last twenty years into a high-technology photonics business through an acquisition policy of the best-in-breed companies in individual technology areas . The company now has manufacturing sites in the US in California, New Hampshire, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Virginia, in addition to its three UK facilities located in Ashford, Ilminster, Glenrothes, St Asaph, and Torquay, and Shanghai, China.

In 1997 G&H was admitted to the alternative investment market (AIM) on the London Stock Exchange. Today the company comprises eight manufacturing sites, with sales offices in France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore with additional representation by a global  network of distributors.

We have three core business:

AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE, INDUSTRIAL & TELECOM,  LIFE SCIENCES, AND BIOPHOTONICS with our expertise centering on the four technologies:

ACOUSTO-OPTICS - Vertically integrated acousto-optics (AO) manufacturing begins with the growth of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and tellurium dioxide (TeO2) crystals used in AO devices. We orientate, cut, shape and polish crystals before they can be coated. Transducers are wire bonded and devices are packaged. We design drivers suitable for each product range.

Acousto-Optic Capabilities

ELECTRO-OPTICS - Our electro-optics (EO) manufacturing is also integrated. We grow our own crystal: Beta barium borate (BBO), Cadmium sulfide (CdS), Cadmium selenide (CdSe), Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), Potassium dideuterium phosphate (KD*P) and Tellurium dioxide (TeO2). Each material has different optical properties and we design and manufacture EO Pockel cells for a range of applications based on these. We also design and manufacture drivers to control and optimize Pockel cell performance for advanced laser systems.

Electro-Optic Capabilities

FIBER OPTICS - We are renowned for our active and passive components and photonic modules. We are able to provide high performance space- and Telcordia-qualified products for use in all-fiber systems. Our expertise encompasses challenging areas such as manufacturing HI-REL fused components for under-sea and space deployment, working with challenging materials such as PCF or chalcogenide, and designing and testing low SWaP modules for use in rugged environments.

Fiber Optic Capabilities

PRECISION OPTICS - We design and manufacture precision optics components and assemblies that few other companies can. Our planar, aspheric, prism and waveplate products are globally acclaimed. G&H precision PO capabilities cover a wide range of specialized manufacturing techniques from crystal growth, polishing including superpolishing, single point diamond turning, magneto optical finishing (MTF), segmented waveplates, anti-reflection, high reflection, and high laser damage threshold (HLDT) coatings, and adhesive free bonding. Furthermore aerospace and defense prime contractors rely on G&H to design and manufacture complex opto-mechanical assemblies.
