Electronic Engineer

Location: Stroud, Gloucestershire

Salary: Up to £70,000

KO2’s client, an emerging leader in advanced sensing and exploration technologies, is seeking an ambitious Electronic Engineer to help drive hardware development and build a world-class internal design function.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving, cutting-edge start-up where you will have genuine ownership across full product lifecycles, contributing to next-generation space and aerospace solutions.

The Role

As an Electronic Engineer, you will lead end-to-end electronic product development - from early requirements definition through design, validation and production handover. Working within a highly collaborative environment, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping both the technology and the team.

What You’ll Do

• Lead full electronic product design lifecycle
• Design and develop PCBs, low-energy architectures and RF/antenna systems (LoRa, long-range low-power)
• Develop MCU firmware, particularly for Nordic nRF52 or similar low-power platforms
• Implement Edge ML solutions (CNNs) for audio and image processing
• Integrate long-range communication systems
• Design advanced power-harvesting solutions, including photovoltaics and MPPT circuits
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing partners to ensure design-for-manufacture (DFM) excellence

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in PCB design, and low-power electronic devices
• Proven MCU firmware development experience (ideally Nordic nRF52)
• Knowledge of digital signal processing (Fourier/Wavelet) and acoustics (desirable)
• RF or other wireless technologies
• Exposure to Edge ML/IoT and deploying CNNs on embedded platforms
• Degree in Electronic Engineering or related STEM discipline
• Eligibility for SC security clearance

This role would suit an engineer who thrives in high-impact environments and wants to play a defining role in building breakthrough technology from the ground up.
