Description
LiveLink Aerospace is at the forefront of aerospace, defence, and security innovation—developing cutting-edge RF, radar, and electronic surveillance technologies. Our team operates in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment where creativity, integrity, and precision are vital. We’re driven by purpose: delivering solutions that safeguard airspace and infrastructure with intelligence and agility.
We are looking for a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. You will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and integration of electronic hardware, from concept to production within our RF and radar-based systems. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in embedded systems, PCB design, and analogue/digital circuit development, and is enthusiastic about working in a collaborative and agile environment.
Important Requirements:
Security Clearance: Due to the nature of our projects and the sensitive data we handle, candidates must be able to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires having lived in the UK for the last 5 years and holding a valid passport.
