Permanent Electronics Systems Engineer

Location: Southampton (Hybrid Flexibility)

Salary: 40,000 + Milestone Bonuses + Share Options

I am representing a high-growth company that is currently redefining the boundaries of portable quantum technology. Following a major research contract win, they are looking for a hands-on Electronics Systems Engineer to them

This is a “UK eyes only” role due to the nature of the projects. It is an ideal move for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced R&D environment.

The Role: Impact & Responsibility

You will be at the heart of the design and optimisation of advanced electronics for miniaturised cold atom systems.

• Systems Design: Collaborate with scientists to translate complex quantum requirements into high-performance electronic hardware.
• Circuit Development: Own the full lifecycle of low-noise analog and digital circuits, from initial concept to PCB layout and prototyping.
• Control Systems: Implement and refine data acquisition systems for experimental hardware.
• Hardware Optimisation: Debug and optimise complex electronic systems to ensure mission-critical reliability.
• Cross-Disciplinary Work: Integrate next-generation quantum devices with robust electronic control platforms.

Essential;

• Education: BSc/MSc in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (PhD or Systems Engineering background is highly valued).
• Experience: 3+ years of commercial experience in high-performance electronics design and prototyping.
• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in analog & digital circuit design and PCB layout.
• Preferred Tech: Experience with GHz RF circuits or high-speed digital systems is highly desirable.
• Domain Interest: A background (or interest) in cold atom physics, FPGA development, or quantum sensors/computing.

Package

• Financial: Competitive 40k base + guaranteed bi-annual milestone bonuses (paid June & Dec) + equity/share options.
• Growth: Bi-weekly knowledge-sharing sessions, dedicated training budget, and annual performance/salary reviews.
• Benefits: 26 days annual leave
• Culture: A collaborative, science-led environment with regular team outings and opportunities for overseas travel.

To Apply: If you are looking to move into the quantum sector with a business that is actually delivering hardware to market, please apply with your CV and I’ll be in touch to discuss.
