About Amodo

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. We believe in differential technology development: deliberately accelerating safety-enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable – rather, the market fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas.

We’ve doubled year on year since our founding in 2023, and we aim to do so again in 2026. That means we’re actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, and DevOps — plus exceptional talent in any discipline.

About you

We value drive, culture fit, and a track-record of engineering excellence and above all else, but the below 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 below 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 etc.)
• An eye for beautiful and practically achievable design

What is it like to work at Amodo?

• 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.
• Feedback culture: We practice radical candor, which means being clear and direct while staying kind, and welcoming feedback at every level
• No “not my job”-ism: If we see something wrong, we fix it. If your part of a project is going great and another is struggling, don’t settle for polishing a chunk of a struggling ship
• Socials: Table tennis every lunch, personal project evenings, pub trips, trail running club, and more
• Office: Spacious, modern space in central Sheffield, with parking and bike storage. In-house workshop and equipment for our mechanical and electrical work.
• Project structure: 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.
• Project variety: We get to work on loads of super varied, technically complex and interesting projects, from drone mounted laser holography for climate-tech to next-gen motors – just see our Projects page.
• We can pay your professional institution fees
• Weekly maker evenings (tools, budget and pizza provided)
