Senior Electronics Engineer

Join Our Client in Shaping the Future of Space Technology

Role Summary

This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a strategic initiative aimed at enabling continuous spacecraft operations by overcoming current limitations in space asset monetisation. As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you will hold a pivotal role in shaping the core electronic systems critical to future space missions. Your expertise will directly influence the development of high-reliability, space-grade electronic hardware, making this a dynamic and impactful position within a growing and forward-thinking organisation.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute the design, development, and testing of PCB/PCBA/FPC electronic systems, including schematic capture and component selection.
• Serve as the technical authority on hardware trade-offs related to performance, cost, and manufacturability.
• Analyze electronic systems for electromagnetic compatibility, thermal management, radiation resilience, and overall reliability.
• Plan and conduct qualification testing campaigns, including space-specific validation processes.
• Integrate design-for-testability (DFT) and automated testing strategies early in hardware development.
• Establish and optimise automated test protocols and equipment for manufacturing environments.
• Collaborate closely with system integrators and manufacturing partners to ensure seamless assembly, testing, and high-volume production.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a closely related field.
• Between 8 and 12 years’ experience in electronic design, with a successful record of delivering complete board-level products.
• Industry experience in designing and testing electric actuators, particularly precision stepper and BLDC motors, including familiarity with GaNFET drivers is advantageous.
• Practical knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI) testing and compliance procedures.
• Understanding of radiation effects on electronics, with experience in radiation analysis and testing methods.
• Solid grasp of heat transfer phenomena relevant to electronic hardware.
• Proven ability in reliability engineering, failure analysis, and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA).
• Experience scaling electronics from prototypes to mass production.
• Hands-on expertise in setting up automated testing pipelines, scripting (Python, C, C++), and developing test scripts.
• Strong understanding of DFM, DFT, and DFA principles applied during hardware development.
• Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Experience with high-reliability switching power supplies.
• Familiarity with space-grade electronic components and standards.
• Experience with automated manufacturing and quality assurance processes.
• Knowledge of advanced heat management and thermal analysis techniques.
