Company Description
NAICKER SCIENTIFIC is a cross-sector hardware/software technology micro-SME based in Gloucestershire, England. We provide technology research and development services on a contract basis to companies attempting to tackle problems within a broad solution space and where no single-discipline expert exists.
Role Description
We are looking for a highly motivated electronics design engineer who will own the end‑to‑end development of printed circuit boards, initially focused on space applications.
The candidate does not necessarily need prior space‑hardware experience - there is the opportunity to learn to apply rigorous aerospace standards on the job by working closely with specialists.
This role combines schematic capture, layout, prototype assembly, environmental testing, and documentation - ensuring each board meets the demanding reliability requirements of spaceflight.

* Bachelors degree in Electronic Engineering
* Hands-on experience in mixed-signal PCB design e.g. automotive, medical, industrial
* Hands‑on experience with common PCB design tools e.g. KiCAD, LTSpice, etc
* Understanding of fabrication tolerances, stack‑up design, controlled‑impedance routing, and high‑current/high‑voltage layout
* Hands‑on experience implementing PCB design and manufacturing standards e.g. IPC
* Hands‑on experience with PCB assembly and functional testing
* Strong analytical mindset; capable of root‑cause analysis and iterative design improvement.
* Proficiency in English
* Right to work in the UK
