Junior Electronics Software Engineer – Sheffield (Hybrid) – £30,000 to £38,000
KO2’s client is looking for a Junior Electronics Software Engineer who’s more than just technically capable — they’re obsessed with solving problems. If you took everything apart as a kid (and sometimes managed to put it back together), this might be your perfect next step.
You’ll be working closely with a seasoned R&D engineer and classic hands-on tinkerer who’s built everything from PCBs to control algorithms. He is looking to pass on his knowledge before retirement, so this is your chance to learn directly from someone who’s done it all – if you’ve got the curiosity and resilience to keep up.
This hybrid role, based in Sheffield, is ideal for someone with 2–3 years of experience as an electronics engineer or embedded software engineer, a strong academic background, and a passion for solving real-world engineering challenges.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting and learning from a true all-rounder who handles electronics, software, and control
* Helping to design, build and develop video product lines used in cutting-edge systems
* Applying your physics knowledge – especially in magnetism, electrical control, or transformers
* Developing your skills in both embedded systems and broader R&D
* Taking raw ideas and turning them into practical, engineered solutions
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has 2–3 years of experience as an embedded software engineer or electronics engineer
* Holds a strong degree in electronics, mechatronics, or a similar discipline
* Can demonstrate a passion for building, fixing, hacking, or solving – robotics, audio, automation, whatever gets your gears turning
* Can handle feedback and thrive in a no-nonsense, real engineering environment
* Is eager to grow into a multi-skilled electronics engineer capable of handling everything from embedded software to PCB work
If you can show us you’ve thought deeply about systems and have the drive to keep learning, we’ll teach you the rest. You don’t need to be a finished article — we’re looking for a sharp, passionate embedded software engineer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and absorb everything Roy knows.
This is a unique opportunity to grow into a true multidisciplinary electronics engineer. If your idea of fun includes debugging code, solving control problems, or building automated gadgets in your spare time, we want to hear from you.
Apply now and take your next step as an embedded software engineer with one of Sheffield’s most technically diverse engineering teams.
