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.
