Junior Electronics Engineer
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Junior Electronics Engineer to join a specialist high-technology engineering team in Cambridge, working on advanced electronic products across thermal imaging, night vision and augmented reality.
This role would suit a recent graduate, early-career engineer or someone with practical electronics experience looking to develop their skills within a technically challenging R&D environment.
THE ROLE
Working alongside experienced electronics engineers, you will gain hands-on exposure across the full product development lifecycle, from initial design and prototyping through to testing and production support.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the design and development of electronic circuits and assemblies
- Assisting with schematic capture, component selection and design calculations
- Supporting PCB design activities
- Building, testing, debugging and modifying prototype hardware
- Carrying out board-level testing, fault finding and verification
- Using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analysers and bench power supplies
- Supporting electronics integration with firmware, software, sensors, displays and communication interfaces
- Assisting with EMC, environmental and compliance testing
- Producing test procedures, BOMs and manufacturing documentation
- Working with production and test teams to investigate and resolve hardware issues
- Supporting component sourcing, alternative part reviews and obsolescence investigations
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
- Good understanding of analogue and digital electronics
- Practical experience building, testing or debugging electronic circuits
- Ability to read and understand electronic schematics
- Experience using common electronic test equipment
- Basic understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, sensors or communication interfaces
- Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, hands‑on approach
- Good attention to detail and willingness to learn
- Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team
DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE
- Schematic capture or PCB design using Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD or similar
- Prototype assembly, soldering, rework or wiring
- SPI, I²C, UART, USB, Ethernet, CAN, MIPI or LVDS
- Power supply design, battery‑powered products or low‑power electronics
- Embedded C, Python, firmware or FPGA‑based systems
- EMC, environmental testing or design for manufacture
- Experience within commercial, industrial, defence, aerospace, scientific or other high‑technology environments
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a great opportunity for an early‑career electronics engineer to develop technically within a specialist engineering environment, working on advanced products and gaining exposure to design, development, testing and production.
