Copello are helping a Defence client search for an Electronic Systems Engineer to lead and support the system level design, equipment breakdown, and interconnection of complex electronic systems.
Dynamic (hybrid) working: 2-3 days per week on-site due to workload classification
Security Clearance: British Citizen or a Dual UK national with British citizenship.
The opportunity:
We’re looking for a systems focused electronics engineer who thrives on turning complex functional requirements into fully integrated hardware solutions, from early concept through to production and deployment. In this role, you’ll take ownership of system level electronic design, defining architectures, flowing down requirements, and breaking down equipment and subsystems into clearly defined functions, interfaces, and responsibilities.
You’ll shape how everything connects, managing interconnects between subsystems and external equipment, and producing high quality system schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface control documentation that form the backbone of robust, reliable designs.
What we're looking for from you:
