Job description

Overview

Multi‑disciplinary projects, solving real‑world problems with modern tech. After a bright start to your career have you reached the limits of what your company can offer you? Maybe you’ve completed a graduate scheme but the department you’re in doesn’t excite you, or perhaps you just need a change. This agile company is looking for top hardware and electronics talent. They develop hardware and software systems for the defence community, typically within radio communications, high‑speed data processing and cyber security. Projects here have shorter timespans (months rather than years) providing a constant stream of new areas to discover and learn about.

Responsibilities

As a hardware engineer you can expect to be involved in projects outside your speciality, such as writing higher‑level C/C++ code or writing a research paper about a particular technology. Broad knowledge and strong problem‑solving skills are valuable.

Requirements

• Commercial experience developing electronic hardware products.
• Strong academics including a top degree in a numerate discipline, A's or A*'s at A‑Level; further academic qualifications such as Master’s degrees or PhDs are well received.
• Ideally commercial experience will come from working at a small company or similar where you’ve had to pick up new skills as required.
• UK nationality and residency in the UK for the last 10 years.

Location and Benefits

Located in a picturesque town on the edge of the Cotswolds, this company offers a strong salary and benefits package with an enhanced company contribution pension scheme, private health care insurance and bonus scheme. Due to the nature of the work, this is a fully office‑based position.
