Applications Engineer

Applications Engineer – Graduate Electronic Engineers Considered

A brilliant opportunity for a bright and inquisitive Applications Engineer or Electronics graduate to join a leading technology company developing specialist hardware and software solutions for the electronics industry. You’ll work on a continual variety of short, technically challenging projects, getting to grips with electronic designs created by other engineers and determining how best to test and program them.

This is an ideal role for someone who genuinely enjoys electronics, investigating unfamiliar technology and solving complex engineering problems. Full training will be provided, so curiosity, technical aptitude and a demonstrable interest in electronics are more important than arriving with highly specialised knowledge.

Location: Cambridge, UK – 5 days a week on site

Salary: £30,000 – £35,000 per annum + excellent benefits

Requirements for Applications Engineer – Graduate Electronic Engineers Considered:

• A strong academic background with a degree in Electronic Engineering, Electronics & Computer Science, or a closely related technical subject, and good A Level results.

• A genuine interest in electronics demonstrated through university work, personal projects, hobby electronics, robotics, embedded systems or similar

• Good foundational understanding of digital electronics, ideally including some exposure to FPGAs, embedded microprocessors and/or device drivers

• Familiarity with at least one high-level programming language

• An inquisitive mind and strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand unfamiliar electronic designs, schematics and technical documentation

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work directly with customers

• Please note this is not primarily an FPGA or PCB design role – projects are typically short, challenging and varied, focused on understanding, testing and programming existing third-party electronic designs rather than designing new hardware from scratch

• Given the nature of some customers & projects, you must be in a position to obtain security clearance

Responsibilities of Applications Engineer – Graduate Electronic Engineers Considered:

• Review customer schematics and electronic designs to understand how their systems work

• Understand customer requirements and develop tailored test and programming solutions

• Create test models for electronic devices by interpreting datasheets and writing code

• Configure specialist electronics testing software for customer applications

• Investigate unfamiliar designs and solve challenging electronics problems

• Deliver technical presentations, demonstrations and training to customers

• Work closely with customers, sales and engineering teams and feed technical insights into product development

What the role offers:

• Exposure to a huge variety of electronic technologies, designs and engineering challenges

• Excellent technical training and opportunities to rapidly develop broad electronics expertise

• A friendly, supportive engineering environment with a strong benefits package
