About the Role
KO2’s client, a fast-growing innovator in advanced sensing and exploration technology, is looking for a driven Electronic Engineer to strengthen its in-house hardware capability and help shape a best-in-class design function.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a cutting-edge start-up environment where you’ll take real ownership across the full product lifecycle, contributing to next-generation aerospace and space-focused solutions.
The Role
As an Electronic Engineer, you’ll take responsibility for complete electronic product development — from initial requirements and concept design through to validation, testing, and production release. Working within a collaborative and forward-thinking team, you’ll have a direct impact on both the technology roadmap and engineering standards.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the full lifecycle of electronic product development
Design and develop PCBs, low-power architectures, and RF/antenna systems (including LoRa and other long-range, low-power technologies)
Develop MCU firmware, particularly on Nordic nRF52 or similar low-power platforms
Implement Edge ML solutions, including CNNs for audio and image processing
Integrate long-range wireless communication systems
Design advanced energy-harvesting systems, including photovoltaic solutions and MPPT circuits
Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure robust design-for-manufacture (DFM) practice
About You
Strong background in PCB design and low-power electronics
Proven experience developing MCU firmware (ideally Nordic nRF52)
Understanding of RF and wireless technologies
Exposure to Edge ML/IoT and deploying CNNs on embedded systems
Knowledge of digital signal processing (Fourier/Wavelet) and acoustics (desirable)
Degree-qualified in Electronic Engineering or a related STEM discipline
Eligible to obtain SC security clearance
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working in high-impact, innovation-driven environments and wants to play a key role in building breakthrough technologies from the ground up.
