Electronics Engineer

Location: Cambridgeshire

Electronics Engineer
Cambridge, UK
Permanent, Full-time
Experienced level
Salary:
Competitive and commensurate with experience

The opportunity

This role offers the chance to work on advanced, real-world technology where your engineering decisions genuinely matter. As an Electronics Engineer, you will be involved in solving complex technical problems from first principles, working alongside highly capable engineers, scientists and designers in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

You will see ideas progress rapidly from concept to prototype, contributing to innovative systems that operate in demanding and high-performance environments. The work is varied, technically deep and hands-on, offering exposure to a wide range of projects and technologies.

What you will be doing

Working across the full product lifecycle, from requirements capture and design through to development, testing, documentation and delivery
Designing, developing and testing electronic systems and subsystems for real-world applications
Contributing to proof-of-concept work, experimental platforms and working prototypes
Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams on system architecture, interfaces and integration
Applying strong problem-solving skills to technically complex and often ambiguous challenges

What we are looking for

You will have a strong academic background, hold a relevant engineering degree and bring proven experience designing and delivering technology solutions. Experience in several of the following areas would be particularly valuable:

FPGA firmware development, debugging and testing
DSP design, modelling and signal processing algorithm development
High-speed electronics design
RF or microwave electronics design and simulation
Electronics hardware design, schematic capture and hands-on testing
Embedded software development, debugging and testing
Programming experience in C, C++, C#, MATLAB, Python or Simulink
Communications and networking, including protocol design or implementation
Collaboration on system architecture, interfaces and hardware design or procurement

Engineers from any industry background are encouraged to apply. Experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments is beneficial but not essential.

Why this role

Work on technically challenging projects with real-world impact
Exposure to a wide variety of technologies, domains and problem spaces
A collaborative, low-hierarchy environment where ideas are encouraged and valued
Opportunities to grow technical depth as well as develop project leadership and client-facing skills
A supportive culture focused on learning, innovation and professional development

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Electronics Engineer who enjoys variety, technical challenge and seeing their work move quickly from concept to reality
