Ever wondered what stops a manhole exploding under a city street, or a substation being tampered with before anyone notices? That's the world our client operates in. They build real-time monitoring technology that protects critical national infrastructure - electricity, gas, water, transport, and communications networks - detecting and preventing the human and natural interference that leads to costly damage, service disruption, and safety incidents.
It's a small, close-knit engineering team where everyone works as a generalist - dipping into electronics, firmware, mechanical design, data, software, and even machine learning. It's a genuinely hands-on environment, and you'll see your work go from schematic to shipped product in the field.
They're now looking for an Electronics Engineer to join their Hardware and Platform teams, working on high-reliability IoT edge systems deployed in demanding, real-world conditions - in a market set for significant growth over the next decade.
What you'll be doing
- Designing embedded electronic hardware for IoT edge systems - microcontrollers, memory, power management, sensors and comms interfaces
- Shaping system-level architecture, hardware requirements, and technology choices for new and existing products
- Producing schematics and PCB layouts in ECAD tools, and keeping design documentation in good order
- Selecting and qualifying components with an eye on performance, reliability, cost, and long-term availability
- Designing and optimising low-power, battery-powered systems built for long field life
- Integrating wired and wireless comms interfaces and radio modules
- Leading prototype bring-up, debugging, and board-level fault finding
- Working closely with Hardware QA on verification, validation, and compliance testing
- Applying good design practice for EMI/EMC, electrical robustness, and long-term reliability
- Supporting manufacturing and supply chain - pilot builds, supplier engagement, production troubleshooting
- Contributing to Design for Test, Manufacture, and Reliability initiatives
- Getting involved in design reviews, risk assessments, and continuous improvement (including ISO 9001)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

What you'll bring
Essential:
- A Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
- 5+ years' professional experience in embedded hardware or electronics design
- Solid schematic capture experience, and comfort with ECAD libraries and component management
- A track record of designing and optimising low-power devices
- Familiarity with circuit simulation, analysis, and optimisation tools
- Experience with in-circuit test, JTAG, and hardware debugging tools
- Strong fault-finding and root-cause analysis skills
- Some exposure to component selection, microcontroller operation, and analogue/digital sensor interfacing
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
