Graduate Engineer/ Electronics Engineer in London

We are accepting applications from varying seniority levels, from Graduate to Principal Engineer, and will adjust terms accordingly.

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 out where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. At Amodo you will work with a world class team to create some of the most important technologies of our time. We focus on high speed development and real world impact, making sure we’re continually delivering tangible, concrete progress across the board. You will see your designs manufactured and distributed globally, your research inform policy, and you will support multi-million pound projects.

We’re currently focused on four key fields: AI safety, biosecurity, humane tech, and accelerating science (developing the hardware tools that scientific breakthroughs require, but don't yet exist). In addition to client work, we want to bring our inventions into the world as spin-out companies, open-source projects, and products.

New invention & new research - We design and build new products, equipment, and tools. More products than powerpoints - Common failure modes of today’s consultancies include risk aversion, theatre for clients, and misrepresentation of what is important in projects. We’re here to do truth-seeking, progress-optimising engineering, not to make slide decks.

We favour rapid experimentation, quick feedback loops, and sprinting to 'something that works' rather than over-planning. If your part of a project is going great and another is struggling, don't settle for polishing a chunk of a struggling ship.

Office: Spacious, modern space in central Sheffield, with parking and bike storage. In-house workshop and equipment for our mechanical and electrical work.

Project structure: You will generally be on 1 main project at a time, whilst supporting on 1-2 smaller projects. Project variety: We get to work on loads of super varied, technically complex and interesting projects, from drone mounted laser holography for climate-tech to next-gen motors.

We value drive, culture fit, and a track-record of engineering excellence and above all else, but the below competencies, interests, and attributes are extremely desirable:

• 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
• Producing embedded firmware (C/C++)
• Familiarity with mechanical design
• Experience balancing functional electronic design requirements with additional constraints (such as thermal, mechanical, and power requirements etc.)

That means we're actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, and DevOps - plus exceptional talent in any discipline. If you're an ambitious top performer, engineering or otherwise, please fill in our form linked.

Benefits include free lunch every day, flexible hybrid working, flexible working hours, 35 days holiday (including bank holidays), professional registration and institution fees covered, relocation assistance may be negotiated, and a £300 annual personal project budget with weekly maker evenings (tools, pizza and support provided).

We may occasionally include 1-3 additional stages, including aptitude tests or video calls with one of our founders.
