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

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
