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 are 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 are currently focused on four key fields: AI safety, biosecurity, humane tech, and accelerating science.
We design and build new products, equipment, and tools. Invention and rapid iteration are core to our DNA. We use these new inventions and our experience to perform new research and push boundaries. Unlike many consultancies, we also get involved at the pre-product stage. Our experience in industry and biotech puts us in the position to run feasibility studies for new and existing companies.
Our values: Truth-seeking, excellent, enthusiastic, kind, humble, and always learning. Our approach: We think before diving in, iterate fast, and focus on the highest-impact 80/20 work. We favour rapid experimentation, quick feedback loops, and sprinting to 'something that works' rather than over-planning. We practice radical candor, which means being clear and direct while staying kind, and welcoming feedback at every level.
Office: Spacious, modern space in central Sheffield, with parking and bike storage. In-house workshop and equipment for our mechanical and electrical work. You will generally be on 1 main project at a time, whilst supporting on 1-2 smaller projects. Team sizes vary from 2-10+ engineers, where most are ~4. Durations largely are within the 2 - 8 months range.
About you: We value drive, culture fit, and a track record of engineering excellence. The following 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
Alongside the above, the following competencies will 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 additional constraints (such as thermal, mechanical, and power requirements)
- An eye for beautiful and practically achievable design
Benefits include free lunch every day, flexible hybrid working, flexible working hours, 35 days holiday (including bank holidays), relocation assistance may be negotiated, and a £300 annual personal project budget with weekly maker evenings.
To let you know a bit more about what to expect, our core interview process includes a 15-minute technical screening interview, a 1-hour technical interview, and a 1.5-hour in-person interview.
