Senior Electronics Engineer

About Amodo

Amodo is a hardware engineering company building the 21st century’s most important technologies. Our team of mechanical, electronic, firmware, and software engineers are trusted by world‑leading startups, universities, governments and philanthropists to solve pressing technical challenges.

We are selective in the projects we take on and proactive in seeking areas where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. We believe in differential technology development, deliberately accelerating safety‑enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable – the market often fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas and have doubled year on year since our founding in 2023, aiming to do so again in 2026.

That means we are actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, Dev Ops and exceptional talent in any discipline.

• Strong background in electronic design – component selection, schematic design, PCB layout, and component procurement
• Experience with hand THT and SMD PCB assembly and modifications
• Circuit inspection and debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analysers
• 5+ years experience post‑qualification, in senior engineering roles

Alongside the above, the following competencies further strengthen an application:

• Producing embedded firmware (C/C++)
• Familiarity with mechanical design
• SPICE and/or RF simulation experience
• Experience balancing functional electronic design requirements with constraints such as thermal, mechanical, and power requirements
• An eye for beautiful and practically achievable design

• Values: truth‑seeking, excellent, enthusiastic, kind, humble, and always learning
• Approach: think before diving, iterate fast, focus on highest‑impact work, favour rapid experimentation and sprinting to “something that works” rather than over‑planning
• Feedback culture: radical candor – clear and direct while staying kind, welcoming feedback at every level
• No “not my job” mentality: if something is wrong, we fix it – we do not fix only our own part of a struggling project
• Socials: table tennis every lunch, personal project evenings, pub trips, trail running club, and more
• Office: spacious, modern space in central Sheffield with parking and bike storage, in‑house workshop and equipment for mechanical and electrical work
• Project structure: you will generally work on one main project at a time while supporting on one to two smaller projects; team sizes vary from 2‑10+ engineers, often around four; project durations largely 2–8 months
• Project variety: super varied, technically complex and interesting projects – from drone‑mounted laser holography for climate‑tech to next‑gen motors

• 15‑minute technical screening interview
• 1‑hour technical interview
• 1.5‑hour in‑person interview
