Job description

Technology development, proof of concept and prototyping with diverse applications

Cambridge (south); to £80k DoE plus good benefits

This small and multi-disciplinary group within a larger company develop diverse, groundbreaking electronics technologies. Explore new challenges, collaborate, and see your work come to fruition in months rather than years - and then onto the next challenge.

You'll get to co‑develop systems which combine advanced sensors, imaging, EM, acoustics, fluidics and AI, with applications in edge computing, instrumentation and special projects. You may apply skills in digital electronics, FPGA, DSP, embedded code, analogue electronics and RF.

Along with the innate perks of such work, the company offer a generous salary, strong pension contribution, catered lunches, social and leisure facilities, and family-friendly leave policies.

Your CV will show your strong relevant degree and supporting qualifications, and additional experience, likely commercial, or through a master's degree and/or PhD. In addition, your experience will include several of:

• Digital electronics design, schematics capture and PCB layout
• FPGA design, RTL development in VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog
• DSP, signal processing and/or related algorithms
• Analogue electronics, which may include work with sensors, RF or microwave EM
• Network protocols design and communications generally
• Embedded software in C, C++ and/or Rust

It is likely you will have collaborated with other engineers and scientists on past projects. Any additional experience in Python, C#, MATLAB or other software systems is a plus. Some projects may involve security clearance, hence you will need to be a British citizen with 5+ years' UK residence.
