This is an exciting opportunity for a Graduate Electronic Design Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team based in Greenwich, working on high-reliability electronic power systems.

The role is ideal for someone early in their career who enjoys understanding how electronics work in real-world systems, from circuit design and PCB layout through to testing and documentation. Previous industry experience is not required. You'll be supported through mentoring, structured learning, and hands-on project exposure.

You'll contribute to the design of power feeding equipment that converts low to medium voltage DC into high-voltage DC systems (up to 21kV), built for safety, reliability, and long service life.

What You'll Be Learning and Doing

Working alongside experienced engineers in Greenwich, you'll gradually build responsibility across the full hardware lifecycle, including:

  • Designing and analysing electronic circuits (analog and digital)
  • Supporting schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Assisting with FPGA development using VHDL and/or Verilog
  • Testing and validating circuits and PCBs in a lab environment
  • Writing clear technical documentation and test reports
  • Collaborating with teams across R&D, production, quality, and supply chain

This role is designed to help you develop confidence, practical engineering skills, and sound technical judgement.

What We're Interested In

Rather than expecting you to know everything already, we're interested in how you think about electronics and how you explain your work.

You Might Recognise Yourself In Examples Like These

Circuit Design

  • You've designed circuits through university projects, internships, or personal work
  • You can explain why you chose certain components or approaches

You understand basic trade-offs such as performance, safety, and reliability

High Voltage Awareness

  • You understand the difference between high voltage and high current
  • You're aware of safety considerations such as insulation, spacing, and controlled testing

You approach higher-energy systems thoughtfully and carefully

PCB Design and Tools

  • You've used schematic capture or PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer or similar)
  • You've taken a design from schematic to layout, even at an academic or introductory level

You're interested in how layout choices affect real-world behaviour

FPGA / Embedded Systems

  • You've had exposure to VHDL or Verilog through coursework or projects
  • You can describe a basic FPGA or digital logic project you've worked on

You're curious about how hardware and embedded logic work together

Lab and Testing

  • You've used lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, or multimeters
  • You've taken measurements to verify or troubleshoot a circuit
  • You're comfortable learning safe lab practices and documenting results

Key Responsibilities (With Support)

  • Assist with hardware design and development activities
  • Support PCB prototyping, testing, and debugging
  • Contribute to FPGA development tasks
  • Help select components with guidance from senior engineers
  • Produce schematics, test information, and technical documentation
  • Learn and follow structured hardware design processes
  • Work collaboratively with engineers across different teams

What You'll Bring

  • A degree (or close to completing one) in Electrical or Electronic Engineering
  • A solid understanding of core electronics principles
  • Curiosity, willingness to learn, and attention to detail
  • A collaborative approach and clear communication style
  • An interest in designing reliable, high-quality hardware

Why This Role?

  • A genuine graduate-level engineering role based in Greenwich
  • Mentoring and technical development from experienced engineers
  • Hands-on exposure to power electronics, FPGA, and lab testing
