Overview

AVIRE designs emergency communication systems that protect lives in high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure across 6 continents. Our technology ensures that every call for help is heard and answered in emergencies, such as a passenger trapped in a lift during a power failure or a wheelchair user unable to evacuate during a fire.

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 are seeking an outstanding graduate electronics engineer to join our R&D team in Maidenhead, with real technical responsibility from day one, supported by a collaborative engineering team across five sites in the UK, Spain, Czechia and the US. The aim is to achieve professional registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Responsibilities

• 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—consider real-world field use in addition to lab performance.
• Build test tools in Python or C# to improve robustness, reliability and trust.
• Collaborate with global teams, from manufacturing in Czechia to technical support for field-delivered products.

Qualifications

• You are studying (or have recently completed) a Master’s in Electronic or Computer Engineering with strong academic results from a top university.
• Experience writing embedded C for microcontrollers and testing code properly.
• Experience building and debugging hardware—e.g., with STM32, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi Compute Modules.
• Ability to structure problems, ask great questions, and communicate clearly under pressure.
• Practical emphasis on documentation, thorough testing, and clean design.
• Care about how a system works for people, not just how it works in isolation.

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 that values diverse voices.
• A global mission: Collaborate across 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.
