Embedded Electronics Engineer – SpaceTech
Buckinghamshire (Hybrid after probation)
Do you thrive on designing embedded electronics that push boundaries? Excited by the idea of working on next-gen propulsion, in-orbit servicing, and exploration technologies?
We’re working with a pioneering space company that's expanding its electronics team and looking for an Embedded Electronics Engineer to contribute to cutting-edge embedded systems across flight and ground platforms.
In this role, you’ll work across the full lifecycle – from prototyping to flight-ready systems – with a strong focus on control systems, power conversion, and actuator control electronics. If you love diving into PCB design, simulation, testing, and MCU development, you’ll be in your element.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Designing and testing embedded systems for mission-critical space applications
* Developing power supplies, motor drivers, and MCU-based control units
* Participating in schematic design, layout, and component selection
* Collaborating closely with mechanical and thermal engineers for PCB integration
* Supporting hardware assembly, debugging, and MAIT activities
You’ll Need:
* 3+ years of experience in embedded electronics (space or similarly high-reliability environments)
* Hands-on experience with PCB tools (e.g. Altium) and lab testing equipment
* Strong grasp of DC-DC converters, drive control, and power conditioning
* Familiarity with industry standards (IPC, ECSS, etc.)
* A proactive, detail-oriented approach and strong communication skills
Bonus Points If You Have:
* Experience designing space-qualified electronics (TRL 7+)
* Knowledge of radiation effects on EEE components
* Skills in LTspice or other schematic simulation tools
The Offer:
* Full-time, permanent role based onsite at a modern space tech hub in Westcott
* Hybrid work after probation
* Health insurance, flexi-time, TOIL policies, and a collaborative, mission-driven environment
