Open Positions

Job Reference: #003 

Salary range:  £30 000 to £40 000 per annum, depending on "ability to hit the ground running".

Hours: Full-time (Part-time negotiable) 

Location: On-site or Hybrid, Tetbury England, UK

Role

We are looking for a highly motivated engineer who will own the end‑to‑end development of printed circuit boards and associated embedded software, initially focused on power and control electronics for space applications.

There is the opportunity to split this position into two separate positions: Electronics Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer.

The candidate does not necessarily need prior space‑hardware and space-software development experience - there is the opportunity to learn to apply rigorous aerospace standards on the job.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate high-level requirements into detailed PCB and firmware specifications.
• Create complete schematics for mixed‑signal boards
• Run circuit simulations and select components
• Produce multi‑layer PCB layouts adhering to appropriate standards
• Procure PCB blanks and components for early prototypes 
• Populate PCBs and perform functional testing of these early prototypes 
• Write, debug, and maintain firmware
• Plan and implement environmental tests
• Introduce best practices for Design‑for‑Reliability, Design‑for‑Manufacturability, and Design‑for‑Testability
• Mature the PCB design for contract manufacture
• Maintain version control of all design documents
• Create and maintain a production tracker to ensure traceability of each manufactured unit

Key Requirements

• Right to work in the UK - https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/get-a-share-code-online
• Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering or Computer Science
• Hands-on practical experience with the complete design/build/test process for at least one custom PCB project (may be possible to substitute with proficiency in the Arduino eco-system)
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (may be possible to substitute with proficiency in a scripting language like Arduino)

Job Reference: #004 

Salary range:  £30 000 to £40 000 per annum, depending on "ability to hit the ground running".

Hours: Full-time (Part-time negotiable) 

Location: On-site or Hybrid, Tetbury England, UK

Role

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist who will be responsible for supporting across a wide range of applied R&D projects.

The ideal candidate will have a good grasp of fundamental theory in their field of study, a generally inquisitive mind, and a demonstrated capability for self-directed learning.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities will evolve over time, but will initially have this focus:

• Reduce complex real-world engineering problems to simpler idealised problems incorporating key phenomena.
• Create models (e.g. Python) and simulations (e.g COMSOL, Simulink) of engineering problems and use these to explore a design parameter space.
• Design factorial experiment campaigns to gather test data from prototypes. 
• Apply statistical methods to analyse test data and use the results to validate models and simulations.

Key Requirements

• Right to work in the UK - https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/get-a-share-code-online
• Bachelors and Masters degree in a fundamental scientific field e.g. Physics, Mathematics, ... or surprise us.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language.
