Electronic Engineer
Location: Stroud, Gloucestershire
Salary: Up to £70,000
KO2's client, an emerging leader in advanced sensing and exploration technologies, is seeking an ambitious Electronic Engineer to help drive hardware development and build a world-class internal design function.
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving, cutting-edge start-up where you will have genuine ownership across full product lifecycles, contributing to next‑generation space and aerospace solutions.
The Role
As an Electronic Engineer, you will lead end‑to‑end electronic product development – from early requirements definition through design, validation and production handover. Working within a highly collaborative environment, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping both the technology and the team.
What You’ll Do
* Lead full electronic product design lifecycle
* Design and develop PCBs, low‑energy architectures and RF/antenna systems (LoRa, long‑range low‑power)
* Develop MCU firmware, particularly for Nordic nRF52 or similar low‑power platforms
* Implement Edge ML solutions (CNNs) for audio and image processing
* Integrate long‑range communication systems
* Design advanced power‑harvesting solutions, including photovoltaics and MPPT circuits
* Collaborate closely with manufacturing partners to ensure design‑for‑manufacture (DFM) excellence
What We’re Looking For
* Strong experience in PCB design and low‑power electronic devices
* Proven MCU firmware development experience (ideally Nordic nRF52)
* Knowledge of digital signal processing (Fourier/Wavelet) and acoustics (desirable)
* RF or other wireless technologies
* Exposure to Edge ML/IoT and deploying CNNs on embedded platforms
* Degree in Electronic Engineering or related STEM discipline
* Eligibility for SC security clearance
This role would suit an engineer who thrives in high‑impact environments and wants to play a defining role in building breakthrough technology from the ground up.
Contact KO2 Recruitment today with an up‑to‑date CV.
*Our client is unable to provide sponsorship and the ability to achieve SC clearance is required for this role
