Job Description

Electronic Engineer - Space & Aerospace



Location: Stroud / Stonehouse, UK (On-site)
Salary: 58,000 - 65,000 (DOE)


Our client is an emerging leader in advanced sensing and exploration technologies. They are seeking an Electronic Engineer to drive hardware development and help build a world?class internal design function. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast?moving start?up environment where you'll have true ownership across full product lifecycles, contributing to cutting?edge space and aerospace solutions.


Why Apply?

  • High-autonomy role where you influence specifications, architecture and overall product direction.
  • Opportunity to help build an engineering team from the ground up.
  • Work across the entire technology stack, from solar harvesting to embedded ML.
  • Benefits include share options, training budget, cycle-to-work scheme, generous annual leave and pension.


What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end electronic product design, from requirements through to production handover.
  • Design and develop PCBs, low-energy architectures and RF/antenna systems (LoRa, long-range low-power).
  • Develop MCU firmware, especially for Nordic nRF52 or similar low-power platforms.
  • Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure design-for-manufacture (DFM) excellence.
  • Implement Edge ML (CNNs) for audio/image processing and support long-range comms integration.
  • Design advanced power-harvesting systems, including photovoltaics and MPPT circuits.


What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience in PCB design, RF/antenna systems and low-power electronics.
