Junior Electronics Engineer
Location: St Ives, Cornwall
Salary: £28,000 - £35,000 DOE
The Role
We're looking for a Junior Electronics Engineer to join our client's engineering team in their beautiful, beachside location near St Ives. You will be working on rugged, real-world products used in demanding industrial environments — our client is well known in this sector and work with many household names across Europe and the USA.
You'll receive a detailed, hands-on handover from an experienced Electronics Engineer to build a thorough working understanding of the systems already in place — the focus is on troubleshooting, maintaining, and quality-controlling what's been built, rather than redesigning from scratch.
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Skills & Experience
You'll ideally have experience in, or a good understanding of:
- Digital and analogue electronics — this is a digital system with strongly analogue components, so real comfort with analogue nuances matters
- Core fundamentals including Ohm's Law and operational amplifiers (op-amps)
- PCB design and layout
- Serial communications including I2C, SPI, and UART
- Microchip PIC development experience (a bonus, not essential)
- Radio communications — localised, closed-loop radio rather than IoT; familiarity with LoRa is helpful but not essential
About You
- A degree in Electronic Engineering
- Hands-on electronics experience — hobbyist-level exposure prior to university is a genuine plus
- A degree plus a couple of years' industry experience (including small business experience) would strengthen your application
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to learn
- Comfortable working on-site full time; please note there's no relocation budget for this role, though candidates have successfully relocated for this position before
