Software / Electronics Engineer

Overview

We're looking for an experienced Electronics and/or Software Engineer keen to help our clients solve complex technical challenges. You'll need to be eager to turn your hand to a lot of different tasks and enjoy constantly learning new things. In return we can offer the chance to tackle some of the hardest engineering problems around, such as novel applications of robotics, collaborating with LEGO to develop LEGO SMART Play and other embedded products, as well as defence and national security projects such as pioneering AI cyberattack response for the UK military.

Cambridge Consultants undertakes over 300 technology, design and consulting projects every year. You will get to work across the broad range of markets, from Consumer Devices to Industrial Systems to Defence and National Security. The Electronics and Software group is a cohesive team of multi-disciplinary experts in everything to do with embedded systems and devices - whether that’s electronics, embedded software, physics, control, communications, security or algorithm design.

We're looking for people with relevant previous experience to help widen our group’s skillset and support our junior engineers. We need people who are enthusiastic about learning, keen to pick up new skills, and can show evidence of a rigorous approach to solving real-world problems.

You will work on the design and implementation of systems for a wide range of applications and products. You will have many opportunities to develop your technical design skills for analogue and digital hardware, information engineering, embedded software, control, communications and whole product design. This could include writing software in C for embedded targets, writing SystemVerilog for FPGAs, PCB design and hardware testing.

You will be expected to interact directly with clients at all phases of projects, from requirements capture and progress updates to final handover.

About you

We're looking for applicants with the following experience or skills:

• An excellent degree or PhD in general, electrical, electronic or information engineering, computer science or physics.
