About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Proven experience designing and testing electronic systems, including low-noise analogue and high-speed digital circuits.
Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout software such as Altium, KiCad, or Eagle.
A strong understanding of signal integrity, grounding, and electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility principles.
Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, spectrum analysers, and multimeters.
Ability to debug and resolve hardware issues independently and systematically.
Experience working with or integrating RF modules, software-defined radios, or power supply systems.
Must have UK Security Clearance or be eligible to obtain and maintain it; the posting says this typically requires having lived in the UK for the last five years and holding a valid passport.

Responsibilities

Design, simulate, and develop analogue and digital circuits for aerospace and surveillance applications.
Develop embedded systems using microcontrollers, field-programmable gate arrays, or systems-on-chip, including ARM, STM32, and Xilinx platforms.
Create and manage PCB layouts and schematics using Altium Designer or similar electronic computer-aided engineering tools.
Perform board bring-up, hardware debugging, and prototype validation.
Support system integration across RF, radar, and software teams.
Ensure designs meet performance, EMC, safety, and environmental compliance standards, including CE, MIL-STD, and DEF STAN.
Collaborate with manufacturing partners on component selection, bill of materials optimisation, and design for manufacturability/design for test practices.
Maintain technical documentation, including schematics, test procedures, and hardware manuals.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with aerospace or defence-grade electronics.
Familiarity with RF front-end design and signal conditioning.
Knowledge of environmental testing standards and ruggedisation techniques.
Experience with embedded C/C++, VHDL/Verilog, or firmware development tools.
Knowledge of ISO 9001 quality systems and documentation best practices.
Understanding of UK export control and defence compliance requirements.

LiveLink Aerospace is at the forefront of aerospace, defence, and security innovation—developing cutting-edge RF, radar, and electronic surveillance technologies. Our team operates in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment where creativity, integrity, and precision are vital. We’re driven by purpose: delivering solutions that safeguard airspace and infrastructure with intelligence and agility.

We are looking for a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. You will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and integration of electronic hardware, from concept to production within our RF and radar-based systems. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in embedded systems, PCB design, and analogue/digital circuit development, and is enthusiastic about working in a collaborative and agile environment.

Important Requirements:

Security Clearance: Due to the nature of our projects and the sensitive data we handle, candidates must be able to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires having lived in the UK for the last 5 years and holding a valid passport.

About the Company

LiveLink Aerospace

Air surveillance systems and ISR aircraft

LiveLink Aerospace develops integrated hardware and software solutions for the aviation sector, focusing on airspace security with its Air Intelligence System (AIS) and an optionally crewed aircraft for long-endurance ISR missions. AIS uses onboard sensors and data processing to monitor airspace, while the optionally crewed aircraft combines a UAV airframe with onboard AI and edge computing for real-time ISR and potential interception. The company blends electronic engineering, system manufacturing, AI, UAV design, and consultancy to offer end-to-end, cross-domain solutions backed by its UK base. Its goal is to improve airspace security and support aviation growth by delivering scalable, practical ISR and interception capabilities.
