About the Company

Join a fast-growing and innovative technology business working on cutting-edge camera, imaging, and sensor systems for next-generation applications. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced camera and sensing technologies being deployed internationally, including new drone systems currently entering the market.
The company designs and manufactures its own electronic components, giving engineers a true end-to-end view of the product life-cycle. You'll be part of an agile, forward-thinking team where your ideas and expertise can directly shape the direction of the technology.

The Role

As an Electronics Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing, testing, and integrating camera and sensor electronics. You'll work closely with the technical lead to build and refine systems that push the boundaries of imaging technology.
This position offers variety, ownership, and technical challenge, combining both hands-on engineering and opportunities to influence design direction.
Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, and test digital and mixed-signal electronics for advanced camera and sensor systems

Develop and refine PCB designs and support system-level integration

Collaborate with cross-functional teams on electronics, signal processing, and FPGA-based systems

Support prototype builds, testing, and validation of complex electronic assemblies

Provide input into product design, manufacturability, and long-term system improvements

Participate in project meetings, contributing to innovation and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar

2+ years' experience in electronics design, testing, or integration (3+ years ideal)

Experience with digital and mixed-signal circuit design and FPGA

Knowledge of signal processing and fast microcontrollers.

Experience with camera or imaging systems is desirable but not essential

Proficiency with PCB design tools (experience with Fusion beneficial)

Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently

Must have the right to work in the UK/Ireland - no visa sponsorship available

Why Join

Work on cutting-edge technologies rarely seen in the UK market

Highly flexible and agile environment with a genuine focus on innovation

Opportunity to take ownership and shape the role as the team grows
Exposure to varied and impactful projects within Defence and Technology
Collaborative, supportive culture where your ideas make a real difference
Flexible on work setup - hybrid or remote, though testing and integration must be done on-site (duration depends on candidate experience)

UAV Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

UAVs (drones) have moved far beyond hobby flying. In the UK, they are now used every day for surveying, infrastructure inspection, construction progress, environmental monitoring, emergency response, film production, agriculture, offshore work & security. That growth has created a wide range of UAV job opportunities — and many of the most realistic routes into the sector are well suited to career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s. This article gives you a straight UK reality check on UAV careers: what roles genuinely exist, what training you really need, how long it takes to become employable, where the money is, what employers actually look for & whether age matters (usually far less than people assume).

How to Write a UAV or Drone Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now used across a wide range of UK industries, including defence, aerospace, surveying, agriculture, energy, emergency services, infrastructure inspection and logistics. As the sector grows, so does demand for skilled UAV professionals — from pilots and engineers to software developers, systems specialists and compliance experts. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. UAV job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced UAV professionals, meanwhile, regularly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real operational and regulatory requirements. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. UAV professionals are practical, safety-conscious and detail-oriented. A poorly written job ad signals weak understanding of aviation, regulation or operational reality. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, professionalism and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a UAV job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the UAV sector.

Maths for UAV Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you’re aiming for UAV jobs in the UK (drone pilot, UAV engineer, autonomy developer, payload specialist, flight test, survey, inspection, defence contractor roles) it’s easy to feel like you need “all the maths”. You don’t. Most real-world UAV roles repeatedly use a small set of maths topics: Linear algebra for frames, vectors & transforms Probability for sensor noise, estimation & decision confidence Complex numbers for signals, filters, RF links & control frequency response Basic optimisation for trajectory planning, tuning & trade-offs This article explains the only topics you actually need, how to learn them quickly, plus a 6-week plan & practical projects you can publish to prove the skills.
