Electronic Engineer

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 life cycles, contributing to cutting‑edge space and aerospace solutions.

• 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.

• 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 nRF
  52 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
  .

• Strong experience in PCB design, RF/antenna systems and low‑power electronics.
• Proficiency in MCU firmware development (ideally Nordic nRF
  52).
• Knowledge of digital signal processing (Fourier/Wavelet) and acoustics is desirable.
• Exposure to Edge ML/IoT and deploying CNNs on embedded platforms.
• Degree in Electronic Engineering or related STEM subject.
• Agile, “start‑up” mindset with the ambition to grow into a technical leadership role.
• Strong communication skills and eligibility for SC security clearance
  .

If you're an Electronic Engineer who thrives in fast‑moving environments, wants to work on frontier technologies, and is excited by the opportunity to shape both products and an engineering function, this is a unique chance to make a significant impact. If you're ready to take ownership, grow with a scaling tech company and contribute to advanced aerospace innovations, we'd love to hear from you.
