Here, you'll have a significant degree of ownership, working on 3 complex projects within the first month, and you'll be afforded the freedom to design systems for brand new technology in your own way.

If you value ownership, personal development, working on bleeding-edge deep tech, and a fast paced varied environment of motivated & likeminded engineers, this is the place for you.

  • ~5 years of electronics design experience & at least a BSc in electronics engineering or similar
  • PCB Design experience with Altium or equivalent CAD software
  • Power electronics design & modelling experience
  • Strong grasp or experience with RF design & FPGA/ASIC systems

Bonus Skills

  • 3D modelling or mechanical design experience
  • Experience with AI-assisted workflows

Benefits

  • Opportunity to work with the most bleeding-edge technologies
  • Share options
  • 25 days holiday which increases year on year
  • Competitive pension scheme

If you're an experienced hardware engineer who wants to contribute directly to developing ground-breaking novel IP, contribute to patents, and increase the ownership of the projects you work on. Apply today!
