Involves optimising serial protocols, debugging on-orbit and on-ground issues, and building interface tools, with FreeRTOS, Embedded C, Python/Bash and Arm Cortex microcontrollers in a fast design-to-launch cycle.
Filtronic Cambridge
Design precision mechanical components and assemblies for high-frequency RF and microwave products, from concept through volume production. Work spans SolidWorks CAD, thermal CFD and FEA structural analysis, waveguide and cooling architectures, plus manufacturing support with CNC, die-casting and additive processes. Based at the Cambridge Science Park site within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
Platform Recruitment Oxford £90,000 – £100,000 pa
Lead the development of advanced electronics for FPGA and ASIC-based space systems, spanning the full hardware lifecycle from design to space qualification. Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams and oversee integration, testing, and manufacturing with internal and external partners.
Platform Recruitment Manchester £90,000 – £110,000 pa
This role involves leading the end-to-end development of high-reliability electronics for space and defence applications, with a focus on FPGA and ASIC-based systems. The Lead Electronics Engineer will design high-speed digital circuits, oversee complex HDI PCB development, and guide multidisciplinary teams through integration and space qualification. It is a senior technical leadership position requiring deep expertise in safety-critical hardware design and advanced manufacturing processes.
Copello Bristol £40,000 – £75,000 pa
Hands-on structural analysis role covering static strength analysis of metallic and composite aerospace structures across Defence, Security and Space. You will build and post-process FEA models in Nastran, ANSYS and Altair, analyse components and full-airframe load cases, produce stress reports and support structural testing, working with design, manufacturing, test teams, customers and suppliers.
Filtronic Cambridge
Design and develop analogue, digital and mixed-signal electronic systems across the full product lifecycle, from concept to volume manufacture. Work in a multidisciplinary team with RF, software, firmware and mechanical engineers on telecoms, space, defence and high-altitude platform products, owning system-level architecture, integration, verification and EMC/safety compliance.
Spire Glasgow
Owns spacecraft attitude and orbit control software and hardware across the full lifecycle, from R&D and design through manufacturing and on-orbit operations. Builds dynamics and control simulations including hardware-in-the-loop, designs and qualifies flight sensors and actuators, and works hands-on in lab and manufacturing environments. Interfaces with external contractors and internal teams in a fast design-to-launch cycle measured in weeks and months.
Filtronic Cambridge
Lead the design, simulation and development of RF and mmWave circuits, components and subsystems, including system analysis, performance optimisation and troubleshooting. Carry out measurements, characterisation and validation of prototypes and production hardware, and support the transition from concept through prototyping into volume manufacturing. Works closely with electronics, mechanical, software and systems engineers, and contributes technical input to RFQs, proposals and customer engagements.
