We are accepting applications from varying seniority levels, from Graduate to Principal Engineer, and will adjust terms accordingly. About Amodo Amodo is a hardware engineering company building the 21st century's most important technologies. Our team of mechanical, electronic, firmware, and software engineers are trusted by world-leading startups, universities, governments and philanthropists to solve pressing technical challenges. See who they are on our website - including MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, ARIA and Rand Corp. We are selective in the projects we take on and proactive in seeking out where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. We believe in differential technology development: deliberately accelerating safety-enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable - rather, the market fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas. What do we do? At Amodo you will work with a world class team to create some of the most important technologies of our time. We focus on high speed development and real world impact, making sure we're continually delivering tangible, concrete progress across the board. You will see your designs manufactured and distributed globally, your research inform policy, and you will support multi-million pound projects. We're currently focused on four key fields: AI safety, biosecurity, humane tech, and accelerating science (developing the hardware tools that scientific breakthroughs require, but don't yet exist). In addition to client work, we want to bring our inventions into the world as spin-out companies, open-source projects, and products. We're actively hiring people to take charge of making this happen. New invention & new research - We design and build new products, equipment, and tools. Invention and rapid iteration are core to our DNA. We use these new inventions and our experience to perform new research and push boundaries. More products than powerpoints - Common failure modes of today's consultancies include risk aversion, theatre for clients, and misrepresentation of what is important in projects. We reject this approach. We're here to do truth-seeking, progress-optimising engineering, not to make slide decks. Work that matters - Unlike many consultancies we also get involved at the pre-product stage. Our experience in industry and biotech puts us in the position to run feasibility studies for new and existing companies. This research-heavy work can include literature reviews, feasibility modelling and market research. A bit on our culture and what it would look like to work here: 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. Project variety: We get to work on loads of super varied, technically complex and interesting projects, from drone mounted laser holography for climate-tech to next-gen motors. 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 We've doubled year on year since our founding in 2023, and we aim to do so again in 2026. That means we're actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, and DevOps - plus exceptional talent in any discipline. If you're an ambitious top performer, engineering or otherwise, please fill in our form linked. Benefits Free lunch every day Flexible hybrid working Flexible working hours 35 days holiday (including bank holidays) We can pay your professional registration and institution fees Relocation assistance may be negotiated £300 annual personal project budget with weekly maker evenings (tools, pizza and support provided) To let you know a bit more about what to expect, our core interview process is as follows. We may occasionally include 1-3 additional stages, including aptitude tests or video calls with one of our founders. 15 minute technical screening interview 1 hour technical interview 1.5 hour in-person interview Offer
