Electronic Design Engineer

Stroud, Gloucestershire

Up to £70,000

KO2's client, a fast-growing innovator in advanced sensing and exploration technology, is looking for a driven Electronic Engineer to strengthen its in-house hardware capability and help shape a best‑in‑class design function.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a cutting‑edge start‑up environment where you'll take real ownership across the full product lifecycle, contributing to next‑generation aerospace and space‑focused solutions.

The Role

As an Electronic Engineer, you'll take responsibility for complete electronic product development — from initial requirements and concept design through to validation, testing, and production release. Working within a collaborative and forward‑thinking team, you'll have a direct impact on both the technology roadmap and engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the full lifecycle of electronic product development
• Design and develop PCBs, low‑power architectures, and RF/antenna systems (including LoRa and other long‑range, low‑power technologies)
• Develop MCU firmware, particularly on Nordic nRF52 or similar low‑power platforms
• Implement Edge ML solutions, including CNNs for audio and image processing
• Integrate long‑range wireless communication systems
• Design advanced energy‑harvesting systems, including photovoltaic solutions and MPPT circuits
• Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure robust design‑for‑manufacture (DFM) practices

About You

• Strong background in PCB design and low‑power electronics
• Proven experience developing MCU firmware (ideally Nordic nRF52)
• Understanding of RF and wireless technologies
• Exposure to Edge ML/IoT and deploying CNNs on embedded systems
• Knowledge of digital signal processing (Fourier/Wavelet) and acoustics (desirable)
• Degree‑qualified in Electronic Engineering or a related STEM discipline
• Eligible to obtain SC security clearance

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working in high‑impact, innovation‑driven environments and wants to play a key role in building breakthrough technologies from the ground up.
