Got a brain built for numbers and a curiosity that doesn’t quit?

If your happy place is somewhere between complex equations and hands-on problem-solving, and you’re the kind of person who actually enjoyed your final-year project, this could be your kind of role.

This isn’t a run-of-the-mill grad scheme.

You won’t be stuck shadowing someone or pushing paperwork. You’ll be designing real components for cutting-edge projects - think custom-built solutions for the kinds of clients who need things to work first time, every time.

The company?

They design and build high-performance capacitors that power everything from military propulsion systems to F1 performance tech. They’ve even contributed to the Large Hadron Collider. Not bad for a Norfolk-based team, right?

What’s in it for you?

Ownership from day one - your designs will be put to the test, literally

Proper R&D work - test rigs, prototyping, data, iteration, the lot

A small, expert team where you won’t get lost in the crowd

Deep dive into power electronics and high-voltage design

Competitive salary, training, and proper holidays (24 days plus bank hols)

Based in Norfolk - no soul-crushing commute required

You’ll fit in if:

You’ve got a degree in Electrical Engineering or similar, with strong maths and physics foundations

You’ve studied or worked in power electronics - and you’re keen to get hands-on with it

You’ve dabbled in research, at uni or beyond, and actually enjoyed it

You’re methodical but not rigid, able to juggle multiple tasks and think on your feet

You can write solid technical English and talk shop without losing people

You’re curious, precise, and keen to get your hands dirty with real hardware

This is for the thinkers, the testers, the builders.

If you want to start your engineering career with something meaningful, where your brain gets a proper workout - this is it.

Sound good? Drop us a message and we’ll talk it through. No big pitch, no portal, just a proper chat

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.

Top 10 Skills in UK Space Careers According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

The UK space sector is accelerating fast—expanding through satellite communications, Earth observation, launch services, and new technologies like small satellites and space robotics. As this dynamic industry grows, employers are seeking professionals who can blend engineering, data, software, and operations with strategic insight. But what skills actually get you noticed in UK space sector job ads? Drawing from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article lays out the Top 10 space industry skills in demand for 2025. You’ll also get practical guidance on showcasing these skills in your CV, interviews, and portfolio, plus a 12-week learning roadmap to build them.
