Electronic Engineer

Electronics Engineer | Newport | £35-55k | Hybrid

My client is a high-impact, established aerospace company designing satellite platforms, operating in a market niche. Their platforms operate in some of the most challenging flight conditions, and they build almost everything in-house.

They’re looking to add an electronics engineer to their electronics and embedded systems team. You'll be hands-on and design-focused to own the specification, design, and integration of electronics into flight and ground systems.

Responsibilities as an Electronics Engineer:

You’ll work closely with the Electronics Lead and a multidisciplinary team to develop avionics and flight systems.

Your day-to-day will span:

• Defining system-level requirements and translating them into PCB-level specifications
  
  
• Designing, capturing and laying out analog/digital circuits (Altium preferred)
  
  
• Developing hardware to integrate GNSS, IMUs, temperature sensors, telemetry systems
  
  
• Supporting testing and validation of systems
  
  
• Collaborating across teams to iterate on control, communication and payload systems
  
  Required skills:
  
  
• BSc in Electronics Engineering (or related)
  
  
• 3+ years in electronics hardware/embedded development
  
  
• Strong experience in circuit design (analog/digital), schematic capture, PCB layout
  
  
• Familiarity with version control (Git), FMEA/risk analysis, and system-level thinking
  
  
• Experience integrating sensors and embedded systems
  
  
• Confident working across small teams and managing multiple interfaces
  
  Desirable skills:
  
  
• Experience designing electronics for regulated sectors (space, aerospace, medical, etc.)
  
  
• Altium Designer
  
  
• Background in flight control systems, actuator control, or telemetry design
  
  What you'll get as an Electronics Engineer:
  
  You’ll be joining a team of 25+ in a well-funded, high-growth start-up doing real R&D. You’ll have tangible ownership over systems that fly on real missions, across international collaborations.
