2025 grads / PhDs and experienced electronics engineers encouraged

Surrey; to £44,000 DoE + benefits

Motivated electronic engineers and physicists have the chance to accelerate their career by joining a pioneering group in the defence industry.

Working on projects involving digital signal processing, high speed data processing and related radio communications systems, hands-on development will be the norm. You will take responsibility for the design and test of PCBs including FPGAs, SoCs and high-speed network interfaces, and you will be given the opportunity to stretch your skills in embedded C / C++. Experience of PCB fabrication and testing of related firmware and software would be beneficial, but not essential.

As a successful candidate, you will have excellent qualifications, including a 1st in a numerate subject from a top university, with A/A*s at A-level (including Maths and Physics). Commercial experience or a PhD will be welcomed, and graduates finishing their course in 2025 will also be considered.

Due to the nature of the work carried out by the firm, this role is only open to UK citizens able to obtain a high level of security clearance. Candidates with ILR or in need of visa sponsorship will not be considered.

Successful candidates should be skilled in a number of the following:
• PCB design and layout, ideally using OrCAD
• FPGA development in VHDL
• Software development in C / C++

The company offers an excellent salary package for all levels of experience, together with top benefits and a generous pension contribution. Work is carried out onsite at their bespoke offices and labs, close to the Surrey Hills. Hybrid work patterns are not offered, but there is flexibility around their core hours of 10am - 4 pm, as long as a 40-hour work week is maintained.
