Job Title: Senior Electronics Design Engineer
Location: Glasgow, Scotland (hybrid – relocation support available)
Salary: (depending on experience) + Excellent Benefits
This is an exciting opportunity to help build the world’s most advanced industrial technologies and power the future. If you are passionate about contributing to high-impact technologies such as robotics, drones, and smart automation systems, we want to hear from you!
This is your opportunity to join a forward-thinking global engineering company driving next-generation innovation across electrification, industrial mobility, and intelligent infrastructure. With a strong heritage and a focus on clean, energy-efficient design, this organisation is shaping how power electronics are used across a wide variety of sectors—from warehouse robotics and AGVs to autonomous drone platforms and electrified heavy equipment. You’ll play a pivotal role in designing and developing power conversion products and work on real-world challenges in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment with travel opportunities.
About the Role

  • Lead development of innovative AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies
  • Simulate and design switching converters using tools like Mathcad, Simplis, SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, controls, EMI, and layout teams
  • Prepare schematic designs, parts lists, and oversee prototyping and testing
  • Support international engineering activities across a global network
  • As this is a global organization there may be opportunities to work out of offices in Europe, Asia, and the US.
    What We Need From You:
  • A degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering
  • Experience in power electronics, including semiconductors, magnetics, and control theory
  • Hands-on knowledge of LLC, phase-shift converters, active PFC
  • Proficient with lab tools (oscilloscopes, ACDC and DCDC loads), CAD software, and structured design processes
  • Familiar with PCB layout and purchasing
  • Experience in EMC compliance
  • Interest in automation, drones, and smart robotics
    Why Relocate to Glasgow?
    Glasgow offers the perfect mix of career opportunity and quality of life.
    Whether you're into buzzing city life or quiet green spaces, Glasgow gives you both. Think world-class music, museums that are interesting (and free!), proper pubs, ridiculously good food (from haggis tacos to Michelin-starred spots), and weekend escapes to beaches, mountains, and lochs — all within reach.
  • Love a bit of character? Glasgow’s full of it — from leafy West End townhouses to gritty murals and chatty locals who’ll give you directions and recommend a band to go see.
  • Got kids? Great schools, loads of parks, and an actual science centre with a planetarium (it’s as fun as it sounds).
  • Need space? You’ll get more house (and garden) for your money than down south — and you can still walk to great coffee.
  • Quick getaways? Edinburgh’s 50 mins away, and the Highlands start practically on your doorstep. Ferry to a whisky island? Easy.
  • Into community? People here are friendly — like, actually talk-to-you-on-the-bus friendly.
    It’s a city that punches above its weight in music, art, tech, and friendliness — without the eye-watering rent. So if you're up for working on cool projects and a genuinely high quality of life, Glasgow’s got you.

The Future of UAV (Drone) Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, have transformed from military technology into a versatile civilian tool reshaping countless industries. What began as reconnaissance aircraft is now a commercial ecosystem spanning logistics, healthcare, energy, agriculture, construction, media, and defence. In the UK alone, drones are already inspecting power lines, supporting police operations, mapping farmland, and delivering critical medical supplies to remote areas. The numbers are compelling. The UK drone market, valued at US $1.85 billion in 2024, is forecast to grow to US $9 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 15.5%. Globally, UAVs could contribute £45 billion to the UK economy and create 650,000 associated jobs by the mid-2030s. According to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), over 500,000 drone operators and flyers were registered by early 2023, with thousands more joining annually. But this is just the beginning. As UAVs converge with AI, robotics, advanced materials, satellite navigation, and air traffic management systems, we are approaching a new era. Tomorrow’s UAV ecosystem will rely on autonomous fleets, smart airspace, resilient supply chains, and sustainable operations. That means entirely new jobs are coming—roles that don’t exist today but will soon be indispensable. This article explores: Why UAVs will generate new jobs Future careers likely to emerge in the next decade How today’s jobs will evolve Why the UK is uniquely positioned to lead How to prepare for UAV careers that don’t yet exist
