Electronic Design Engineer


We are a global leader in specialised components and subsystems for innovative solutions in medical, science, aerospace, defence and industrial applications.



Our products are everywhere, hospitals, planes, ships and even outer space, but you will only see them if you know where to look.



This role includes the design of compact high reliability high voltage (5-10kV) systems for airborne military applications, specification of design requirements to meet system specifications and provision of support technical documentation - Key drivers are design for ultra small volume, versatility, and high reliability.



General Accountabilities: Electronic Design Engineer



  • Design of circuits and sub-systems to meet customer requirements and ensure a reliable, manufacturable product that meets the cost targets
  • Provides fast, accurate, and technically competent resolution of technical issues during the development, production and in service
  • Verification of the circuit and systems design through design simulation, practical test, and appropriate environmental test
  • Considers regulatory, legislative, environmental and safety standards in design
  • Underwrites changes to product build standard post the product launch as might be driven by continuous improvement activities, obsolescence, legislative or regulatory changes
  • Identifies IPR/patent issues and opportunities ensuring these are assessed and drives raising of claims as required
  • Regular review of the product market and technology advances to identify opportunities to develop new products and/or upgrades. Work with the business leadership to develop these into future development as appropriate



Skills and Experience: Electronic Design Engineer



  • Expert knowledge in design of power electronic systems: Switch Mode PSU design; PCB Design; High frequency digital and analogue circuits in MILSPEC applications; High frequency magnetic components (transformers); High Voltage and high power experience ideal – 3 to 10kV, 500W to 2kW
  • Experienced in design for Reliability (MTBF) in electronic systems
  • Appreciation of electronics encapsulation in demanding environments
  • Experienced in analysis of design failure mechanisms using DfMEA/FMECA.
  • Demonstrates clear understanding of the demands of electrical safety and models safe working practices
  • Knowledge of PCB layout tools and manufacturing techniques or similar for schematic capture & Mathcad

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Space Jobs Hub

Space is no longer just the domain of governments and large agencies. Commercial satellites, Earth-observation, space communications, space launch, applications using satellite data, and downstream services are becoming essential components of national and global infrastructure. Whether for climate monitoring, telecommunications, security, navigation, agriculture, or disaster management, space technologies underpin many of the systems we take for granted. In recent years, the UK has been steadily building its space sector: advancing policy, strengthening research, encouraging private investment, establishing new facilities, and growing its workforce. As this momentum continues, demand is rising for professionals in engineering, operations, software, analysis, project management, regulation, and more. For those interested in ambitious, cutting-edge, and high-impact careers, the UK space sector offers compelling prospects. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well placed to become a global space jobs hub, what the current landscape looks like, the roles in demand, sectoral strengths, challenges to be addressed, and what must happen for the UK to fulfil this role in the global space economy.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Space Skills in 2025/26

Space has always inspired human imagination, but today it is also a booming global industry. The UK space sector is worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people and spanning everything from satellite communications and Earth Observation to spacecraft design, propulsion, and deep-space exploration. With growth forecast for the coming decade, there has never been a better time to prepare for a career in space technology. Yet the reality of working in the space sector is that theory alone is not enough. Employers want candidates who can demonstrate applied skills — the ability to design, model, simulate, and test. They want to see you can handle data, understand system integration, and work with the same kinds of tools used in industry. The challenge is that professional software suites in aerospace and space engineering are often prohibitively expensive. But here’s the good news: there are many free and open-source tools available that allow you to practise space-related skills right now. From mission visualisation and data processing to computational fluid dynamics and systems engineering, these tools let you gain hands-on experience without spending a penny. In this article, we explore the best free tools and platforms to practise space skills in 2025. You’ll learn what each one offers, how it supports your development, and how to use it in projects that strengthen your portfolio for space sector jobs.
