Hardware Engineer

Job Description Summary

We are seeking an Electronic Hardware Engineer who thrives on making a strong personal contribution and who is motivated to help make the organisation a little better every day. You want to deliver – for our customers, for the business and for yourself.

We have an opportunity to join our Military Product Support Team, supporting the delivery of display and controller products to a diverse range of customers in both the civil and military sectors. As a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual, you would join our team in Cheltenham, solving problems and driving improvements to our products.

You’ll be a self-starter, enjoy working with others or on your own initiative and always seeking to be forward thinking and going the extra mile to help us maintain our excellent performance. You’ll also be keen to grow and to seek out new challenges and knowledge whilst in turn gaining more responsibility and seniority.

Does this sound like you? In which case, we’d love you to apply for this role.

Having experience working with complex electronics to component level, you will support post‑design activities on our displays and controls portfolio and in the future have access/opportunities to support any product within the Cheltenham post‑design environment. You will resolve technical/engineering issues to ensure production output and product performance targets are achieved.

Management of change is a key part of the role. You will analyse problems to root‑cause, drive corrective actions as required, manage obsolescence issues (re‑design, risk analysis, cost, last‑time‑buy, documentation configuration and customer approval) and operate within the strict regulatory regimes of the aviation industry, ensuring compliance with Aviation Technical Standard Orders (TSO).

With time and experience, you will be coached through attaining airworthiness authorisations to approve the release of products and, in turn, open doors to more senior positions in the team.

Working effectively with multiple departments throughout the business will be key to success, and you will build relationships with colleagues across supply chain and quality to act as a link between them and the engineering community.

Problem solving is at the core of what we do. You will be qualified to HNC or above in an electronic discipline or have an equivalent relevant level of experience and knowledge. An understanding of electronics to component level is a must; you will be comfortable with using and amending engineering drawings, schematics and specifications. You must demonstrate that you can manage multiple projects concurrently, ensuring attention to detail and adherence to regulations.

You will be joining a team of experienced through‑life engineers. You need to be a good team player capable of operating in a multi‑discipline environment, while equally being able to work independently with an analytical approach and keen attention to detail. You will have strong organisational and communication skills, be energetic and self‑motivated, and capable of self‑managing tasks and priorities. Knowledge of avionic display and controller systems would be an advantage (not essential).

• Non‑contributory Pension
• Life Assurance
• Group income protection
• Private medical cover
• Holiday – hourly equivalent of 26 days, with flexible option to buy or sell

Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance is required and must be maintained for this role. Please note that if BPSS clearance cannot be obtained, you may not be eligible for the role and/or any offer of employment may be withdrawn on grounds of national security.
