InnoForge is proud to partner with an exciting and visionary space technology company that’s redefining how we see our planet and beyond.
Our client is developing pioneering video and imaging systems for use in space, capturing breathtaking real-time perspectives of Earth and future missions across the Solar System.
We’re seeking a Lead Electronics Engineer to take ownership of designing and developing advanced electronic systems that will operate in some of the harshest environments imaginable.
This is an opportunity to work at the cutting edge of technology, combining high-speed digital design, power electronics, and imaging hardware within a fast-moving, collaborative startup culture.
What You’ll Do:
* Lead the design and development of analogue and digital electronics for high-resolution video camera systems
* Own projects end-to-end, from concept and schematic capture through to board layout, prototyping, and flight hardware qualification
* Work closely with multidisciplinary teams on hardware integration, FPGA interfaces, microcontrollers, and high-speed serial data links
* Oversee manufacturing, assembly, and environmental/electromagnetic testing with trusted partners
* Maintain design documentation, test reports, and assembly procedures
What You’ll Bring:
* 5+ years’ experience in electronic design, from concept through production
* Proven experience with PCB design, simulation, and hardware debugging
* Strong knowledge of interfaces and circuit elements such as I²C, SPI, RS422, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI-2, LVDS, USB, PCIe, and power management circuits
* Comfortable working hands-on in a lab environment, testing, iterating, and innovating
* Experience in high-reliability or harsh-environment sectors (space, aerospace, defence, or automotive) is a plus
Why Join:
* Be part of a mission that’s literally out of this world, building systems that operate beyond Earth
* Work alongside some of the brightest minds in imaging and electronics
* Competitive salary, healthcare, pension contribution (6%), and 25 days holiday + public holidays
* Hybrid flexibility with the opportunity to work remotely for suitable tasks
