Hardware Engineering Manager – High-Performance Space Communications
Location: Guildford, Surrey (Hybrid)
Package: Highly competitive base salary + equity + pension + private medical
Join a fast-growing, well-backed startup building next-generation space communications technology. This is a rare opportunity to take on a hands-on leadership role at an early stage, helping shape the electronic hardware and integration efforts that underpin our cutting-edge, high-throughput platforms for space-based connectivity.
As Hardware Engineering Manager, you'll lead a small but growing team of experienced engineers working across high-speed digital design, board development, and system integration. You'll oversee the development of complex, high-performance embedded hardware systems—driving projects from concept through prototyping, testing, and into deployment.
We're looking for someone who's excited to get stuck into technical challenges while also setting direction, mentoring engineers, and coordinating across disciplines. The work is fast-paced, collaborative, and high-impact—and it's ideal for someone who thrives in an environment where technical leadership and hands-on engineering go hand in hand.
What we're looking for:
- Proven experience in high-speed digital hardware design for complex embedded systems
- Strong background in schematic capture, PCB layout (multi-layer), and system-level integration
- Experience leading hardware development projects and mentoring engineers
- Familiarity with signal integrity, power integrity, and bring-up/debug of digital systems
- Comfortable working across teams including firmware, systems, and mechanical
Space industry experience is not required—but curiosity, adaptability, and a builder's mindset are.
Why apply?
- Work at the frontier of space and communications technology
- Be part of a close-knit founding team, with real influence on product and engineering direction
- Earn a market-beating salary with equity upside
- Enjoy great benefits including pension and private medical
- Flexible hybrid working with a collaborative and mission-driven culture
