Varied electronics projects in communications, IoT and telecoms

Cambridge City; £Competitive + Benefits

Based in their offices and facilities in Cambridge, this engineering team work with partner companies to provide technical expertise and resources to develop solutions within communications-based electronics. Their innovations can be found in scientific instrumentation, satellite phone sets, voice detection systems and communications within robotics. They have repeatedly proven themselves with technologies used in both cellular and private networks, and look to deliver next-generation products.

The team are looking to recruit a senior level engineer to provide additional expertise and resources for on-going and future projects. Key aspects will include high-performance board level electronics design, and to a lesser degree FPGA and ASIC development. This will encompass a full range of digital electronics including PCB and FPGA design. Further, due to the complexities involved in their products, it is not uncommon that their electronics utilises signal processing, AI, RF and software components. This is very much a hands-on role, but there are opportunities for project technical leadership if you want this.

Requirements:

* You will have a degree in electronics or physics and possibly a relevant PhD (preferred).

* Your project experience will include substantial work around digital design for high-performance board level electronics, and some exposure to FPGA and ASIC design including verification using Verilog.

* Your general digital design experience with electronics should include the use of Altium (PCB design) and HyperLynx (signal integrity analyses) or similar.

* Additional experience with radio frequency systems, DSP, embedded software and / or requirements management using DOORS would be beneficial. Further experience with C++, VHDL, Python and Tcl would be desirable.

Due to the nature of projects, the role is mostly onsite, although occasional home working is possible when projects allow. In return, on offer is a competitive remunerations package including career support and opportunities for leadership.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
