Introduction   

We are looking for a new or recent graduate who wants to develop their skills in electronics and FPGA design. Working on real projects from the start, you will join a multi-disciplinary team to design wireless systems and products for our clients. You will have the support of colleagues, who are experts in their field, to guide you when you need advice. You will quickly gain the skills for all stages of the electronic design: from the initial idea, through detailed design, to debug and transfer to manufacture.  

Your role 

You will be part of the Digital Systems Group in our Telecommunications Business Unit, which is a world leader in communication technology. Our work ranges from high volume consumer applications to aerospace and satellite communications. You will learn new skills in digital and analogue electronics, PCB and FPGA design. As you gain experience you can, if you want, take on more responsibility and bigger roles on project teams. 

Our group works closely with other disciplines to create cutting-edge technology.  Project team sizes tend to be small, giving you lots of responsibility, and you will work with and learn from a team of highly-skilled software, signal processing, AI, and RF engineers. Recent examples of our work include: 

• Developing a novel air-interface and bespoke communication systems for the Ocado Smart Platform controlling hundreds of robots in grocery distribution centres 

• Prototyping the world’s largest commercial airborne antenna to deliver superfast 5G to every corner of the globe 

• Developing the Iridium Extreme satellite phone, the first truly-global ‘push-to-talk’ mobile communications system 

What we can offer  

 In this role you will gain experience in: 

• Creating design ideas that meet the client’s needs 
• Board-level electronics design 
• Guiding and reviewing PCB layout 
• FPGA or ASIC design 
• Bringing your designs to life in the lab 

 As your experience develops, you will be encouraged to learn new skills and take on new responsibilities. 

What you can bring  

• An excellent degree or PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a related subject 

• An enthusiasm for designing things and making them work 

• Solid understanding of fundamental electronic theory and principles 

• Practical experience through university, work or home projects in any of any aspect of electronics
