We are seeking an experienced electronics engineer to out client. You'll be joining a time-critical R&D project initially, supporting the final stages of development through to installation, and then moving onto other development projects. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary position that sits between mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. You will play a key role in bringing together various subsystems, ensuring successful integration, documentation, and delivery of a working product. The project is already well advanced, with prototypes built and testing underway. The focus of this role is on completing integration, supporting compliance, finalising documentation, and helping move the product from late-stage design into production. There may also be some involvement in software development for an embedded industrial PC. You'll need to be on one month's notice (or less) and able to join in the next 6-8 weeks.

Electronics Engineer - The role - Software, Electrical, Mechanical, CAD

  • Act as an integration engineer across mechanical, electrical, and software components
  • Support development of software for a Windows-based industrial PC (C# preferred but not essential)
  • Coordinate system integration and ensure all elements function together correctly
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation
  • Edit and manage CAD drawings, including updates, labelling, and uploads
  • Support compliance activities and preparation for small-scale production
  • Liaise with stakeholders and act as a technical point of contact
  • Support testing and validation where required

Electronics Engineer - About you - Software, Electrical, Mechanical, CAD

  • Proven R&D experience (not suitable for recent graduates)
  • Strong understanding of system integration across mechanical, electrical, electronic and software disciplines
  • Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
  • Able to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
  • Understanding of electronics, including power flow and component interaction
  • Experience or interest in software or embedded systems would be beneficial
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and willing to take on a mix of complex and routine tasks
  • Experience with C# or similar programming languages would be beneficial, as would familiarity with industrial PCs or embedded systems

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
