Senior FPGA Engineer

Systems Engineer Staffordshire, UK £32-38k + benefits

This role would probably suit an engineer with 1-3 years of industry experience. A background in design / development or systems engineering would be preferred (e.g. electronics, software, mechatronics etc) ideally gained within the automotive, avionics, aerospace or similar industry.

Location: Office based, Rocester, Staffordshire

The role will involve full lifecycle (V model) systems engineering activities including the capture and development of customer requirements into functional requirements and specifications, systems integration activities and the development of test and validation requirements in conjunction with development and test teams.

The role will be hands-on including integration activities (hardware / software) to ensure product features and systems meet product requirements. This will require engineering design / development knowledge but an appreciation for the greater system.

Required: Systems Engineer

  • 1-3 years of post-academic experience gained within the automotive, aerospace, electronics, mechatronics, or other similar product development environment.

  • A degree in a relevant field (e.g. electronics, computer science, mechatronics, automotive engineering)

  • Product engineering experience and ability having spent time on the design, development or test of complex electromechanical systems.

  • An appreciation of systems design, the systems engineering cycle (V model) and capturing requirements from customers.

  • Good practical engineering aptitude (e.g. software or hardware integration, hands-on problem solving, development of systems in a lab / workshop)

    The ideal candidate would be an engineering graduate that has spent 1-3 years within industry either within a systems engineering or design / development engineering role. This experience would have been gained within systems design or product development of complex electromechanical systems used within the automotive, aerospace or other similar fast paced environment. The systems engineer would have strong communication, organisation and practical skills and be proactive, adaptable and keen to learn.

Negotiating Your Space Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Reflects Your High-Flying Role in the UK’s Growing Space Sector Introduction The UK’s space industry is expanding at an unprecedented pace. From satellite constellations designed to monitor climate change to cutting-edge propulsion systems for interplanetary missions, professionals in the space sector are at the forefront of innovation that extends beyond Earth’s boundaries. As a mid‑senior engineer, scientist, or project manager in this domain, you’re not merely contributing to routine tasks—you’re helping propel humanity’s future exploration and commercial utilisation of space. Such an important contribution deserves a negotiation strategy that looks beyond a simple salary figure. Today’s top space organisations—whether they focus on launch vehicles, satellite communications, or advanced in-orbit services—recognise they must attract and retain specialised talent. As a result, compensation packages increasingly encompass equity (tying your success to the company’s ascent), performance-based bonuses (rewarding major project milestones), and perks (supporting both your career progression and well-being). Focusing solely on monthly pay can mean missing out on these crucial opportunities. This guide helps you navigate the full scope of your potential offer—understanding equity structures that capture growth, identifying milestone-based bonuses linked to successful missions or technology demonstrations, and leveraging perks that enhance your daily satisfaction in a mission-critical field. By adopting a well-informed, holistic approach, you can land a deal that truly mirrors your high-impact contributions to the UK’s booming space sector.
