Imager Electronics Engineer | Guildford | On-site | Competitive salary & package

Are you an Electronics Engineer with experience or an interest in the Space & Satellite sector? Do you want to be part of LEO & GEO Space missions, building Optical Payloads?

Then this might be the role for you!

This is your opportunity to work on missions from concept through to launch, including Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT), commissioning, and operations. If you’re looking for cradle-to-grave engineering with a rapid development cycle and the chance to see your work in orbit, this role is for you.

As part of the Optical Payloads group, you’ll collaborate closely with experts across the Optical Department and core satellite mission teams. You'll help shape critical systems and contribute to breakthrough space technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Designing cutting-edge electronics for advanced Optical Payloads
  • Developing digital and analogue hardware fit for the harsh space environment
  • Capturing schematics and performing board-level design
  • Running simulations and validating circuit performance
  • Designing Electronics Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)
  • Producing high-quality documentation (procedures, reports, test plans)
  • Supporting manufacture, test readiness, and system-level integration
  • Managing technical budgets, timelines, and system-level trade-offs
  • Collaborating within a multidisciplinary, high-performing team

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.
