???? Engineering that saves lives | Global reach, human impact

A culture that nurtures your potential

Help create a safer world for everyone, every single day.

At AVIRE, we design emergency communication systems that protect lives in high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure across 6 continents. Whether it's a passenger trapped in a lift during a power failure or a wheelchair user unable to evacuate during a fire, our technology ensures that every call for help is heard and answered.

This is engineering that matters. Our systems are installed in over 4 million buildings globally. Your work will directly contribute to ensuring that no one is left behind in an emergency.

We're looking for an outstanding graduate electronics engineer to join our R&D team in Maidenhead. You'll be trusted with real technical responsibility from day one, supported by a highly collaborative engineering team across our five sites in the UK, Spain, Czechia and the US. We will both nurture your potential and challenge you to build your engineering competence with the aim of ultimately achieving professional registration as a Chartered Engineer.

What you'll be doing

• Design, develop and deliver embedded electronics subsystems, from drawing board to production-ready design.
• Develop firmware in C (or optionally Rust) across platforms including STM32, ESP32, Pi Compute Modules and NXP i.MX.
• Prototype boards and debug hardware using tools like KiCad, oscilloscopes and logic analysers.
• Design with the user in mind - not just how it works in the lab, but how it works in the field, in real life environments.
• Build test tools in Python or C# that make your systems more robust, more reliable, more trustworthy.
• Work closely with our global teams, from our factory producing PCB/As in Czechia through to our technical support team looking after delivered product in the field.

Does this sound like you?

• You want your work to count. The systems you help build may one day save someone's life.
• You want to be trusted, not micromanaged. We'll support you, but also challenge you.
• You want to go deep. Across hardware, firmware, systems thinking, user empathy, and manufacturing reality.
• You want to grow in a place that respects how you think, not just how you code firmware and build boards.
• You want to be part of a team where kindness and competence reinforce each other.
• You have an interest in other cultures and working as part of an international team. The ability to travel (or even temporarily relocate) internationally would be a bonus.

You might be a great fit if...

• You're studying (or have just completed) a Master's in Electronic or Computer Engineering with strong academic results.
• You've written embedded C for microcontrollers and understand how to test your code properly.
• You've built and debugged hardware before - maybe with STM32, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi Compute Modules.
• You know how to structure problems, ask great questions, and communicate clearly under pressure.
• You take pride in thoughtful documentation, thorough testing, and clean design.
• You care not just about how a system works, but who it works for.

Working at AVIRE

• Hybrid working. Office-based Tuesday to Thursday, with flexibility on other days.
• Structured development. Mentoring, training, and a clear path to Chartered Engineer status.
• A supportive culture. We believe that brilliant ideas come from diverse voices.
• A global mission. Collaborate across our sites in the UK, Spain, Czechia and the US.
• A clear purpose. Our products help people in distress to be heard and helped, without delay.
