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

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
