Job description

The Company

A technology innovator developing advanced satellite platforms and mission-ready hardware. Youll join a multidisciplinary team pushing the boundaries of spacecraft performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

The Role

As an Electronics Engineer, Youll take ownership of designing and integrating custom electronics that power next-generation satellites. Youll work across the full lifecycle from early concepts and architecture through to board bring-up, validation, and preparing hardware for launch.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead electrical design for spacecraft subsystems, from requirements capture to detailed schematics
• Select and evaluate components, including sensors, radios, power systems, and high-speed digital devices
• Create PCB layouts (Altium) with strong DFM and reliability considerations
• Design power supplies, monitoring circuits, and high-speed digital interfaces
• Perform circuit simulations, worst-case analysis, and signal/power integrity reviews
• Support board bring-up, debugging, hardware validation, and environmental test campaigns
• Collaborate with software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration

Experience & Skills

• Solid understanding of analogue and digital electronics
• Hands-on PCB design experience (rigid, flex, rigid-flex)
• Familiarity with FPGA-based systems and high-speed digital design principles
• Experience with communication protocols: I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, USB, RS485/422, PCIe, Ethernet, etc.
• Strong debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, VNAs, and similar equipment
• Nice-to-have: space-grade standards, SI/PI tools (e.g., HyperLynx), FPGA coding (VHDL/Verilog), embedded/DSP experience, EMI/EMC-conscious design

What's on Offer

• The chance to work on real spacecraft hardware with direct mission impact
• Hybrid working environment with modern lab facilities
• Career growth, technical ownership, and involvement in cutting-edge space engineering
• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package
