Your tasks

With the significant growth in hyperscale computing we are expanding our team at Huber + Suhner Polatis to meet increased demand. We produce market-leading optical circuit switches for advanced fibre optic connectivity in the communications, industrial and government sectors.

The engineering department is the development engine of the business taking new product ideas from concept into volume manufacture. The department consists of Systems, Mechanical, Electronic and Software Engineering teams focussed on development and a New Product Introduction team focussed on release to manufacture.

The Electronic Design Engineer will report to the Electronic Design Manager to deliver new and updated electronic designs as part of the Huber + Suhner Product Evolution Process.

The job of the Electronics Design engineer is to develop electronics circuits and systems architectures to support product development of leading-edge technologies for the next generation of resilient optical switching products. This covers all aspects of the product lifecycle for electronics components. The team is responsible for Analogue, Digital and Firmware development on the hardware platforms to support advanced feature sets required by the market.

Deliver hardware design from concept through to successful delivery of product into manufacturing.

Work with a multi-disciplinary team. Mechanical engineers, software engineers and system engineers to find solutions to customer requirements.

Implement DfX as needed to ensure a robust supply chain and manufacturing process.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
