Graduate Electronics Engineer

Amodo is hiring electronics engineers to design, prototype, and debug advanced electronic and embedded systems for innovative projects across industries including biotech, quantum computing, and industrial engineering.

About Amodo

We are a Sheffield based start-up providing expert engineering consultancy to a variety of clients and industries. We primarily focus on engineered product design, and work in a range of industries and contexts from quantum computing and biotech to heavy industry and animal welfare.

We have a focus on ethical and sustainable delivery, but that means more to us than just bamboo straws and tote bags - we choose to work on projects that matter, work to deliver the best solution for our clients no matter what, and commit to doing so without compromising our values.

Successful candidates will work alongside our multidisciplinary team to design and develop cutting edge solutions, systems, and products.

About you

We value drive, culture fit, and a track-record of engineering excellence and above all else, but the below competencies, interests, and attributes are extremely desirable:

• Strong background in electronic design - component selection, schematic design, PCB layout, and component procurement

• Experience with hand THT and SMD PCB assembly and modifications

• Circuit inspection and debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analysers

Alongside the above, the below competencies will strengthen an application:

• Producing embedded firmware (C/C++)

• Familiarity with mechanical design

• SPICE and/or RF simulation experience

• Experience balancing functional electronic design requirements with additional constraints (such as thermal, mechanical, and power requirements etc.)

• An eye for beautiful and practically achievable design

What is it like to work at Amodo?

• Our values: Truth-seeking, excellent, enthusiastic, kind, humble, and always learning

• Our approach: We think before diving in, iterate fast, and focus on the highest-impact 80/20 work. We favour rapid experimentation, quick feedback loops, and sprinting to “something that works” rather than over-planning.

• Feedback culture: We practice radical candor, which means being clear and direct while staying kind, and welcoming feedback at every level

• No “not my job”-ism: If we see something wrong, we fix it. If your part of a project is going great and another is struggling, don’t settle for polishing a chunk of a struggling ship

• Socials: Table tennis every lunch, personal project evenings, pub trips, trail running club, and more

• Office: Spacious, modern space in central Sheffield, with parking and bike storage. In-house workshop and equipment for our mechanical and electrical work.

• Project structure: You will generally be on 1 main project at a time, whilst supporting on 1-2 smaller projects. Team sizes vary from 2-10+ engineers, where most are ~4. Durations largely are within the 2 - 8 months range.
