Senior Electronics Design Engineer

Based in Stevenage

Up to £53,000 + bonus + 14% pension + paid overtime

Let’s be clear.

This is not a maintenance role.
This is not minor PCB tweaks.
And it’s definitely not “business as usual” electronics.

This is advanced analogue and digital hardware design on complex electronic systems, from concept through to production. Real engineering. Real accountability.

You will design board-level circuitry around FPGA and SoC platforms, working closely with RF systems and multidisciplinary engineering teams. You will lead meaningful work packages, influence technical decisions, and see your designs move from idea to validated product.

What you’ll bring:



Strong analogue and digital electronics design experience

*

Confidence working at board level, FPGA and SoC environments

*

Experience delivering hardware across the full lifecycle

*

The credibility to lead design activity, not just contribute to it

What you’ll get:

*

Hybrid working that actually trusts you

*

Up to 14% pension contribution

*

Paid overtime

*

Up to 15 additional flexi days

*

Complex, technically stretching defence programmes

This role sits in a highly respected defence engineering environment where the work matters. The standards are high, and so is the impact.

Due to security requirements, you must be a British citizen or be a dual UK national with British citizenship.

If you’re ready for engineering that genuinely stretches you, this is worth a conversation

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

Use this as a practical, step-by-step checklist to sharpen your CV, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and portfolio before you apply on www.cybersecurityjobs.tech .

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
