Rate: Up to £70 per hour (Outside IR35)
Location: East Glasgow – Hybrid (3 days onsite)
Contract: 6 months initially (likely to extend)

A medical electronics company is looking to hire a Contract Electronics Engineer to join an established engineering team. This role covers the full electronics product lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on electronics testing, characterisation and verification, rather than brand new electronics design.

You’ll work in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment alongside electronics engineers, mechanical engineers, embedded software engineers and scientists, helping to understand and improve complex medical systems.

The role

Work across the full electronics product lifecycle, from design review through to test and verification
Lead and execute electronics testing, characterisation and system level investigations
Develop and run test plans to assess performance, limits and system interactions
Review schematics and PCB designs and contribute to design discussions
Collaborate daily with mechanical, software and scientific teams
Support systems involving fluidic control mechanisms and optics

This role suits an Electronics Engineer who enjoys hands on hardware work and understanding how systems behave in the real world.

Skills required

Strong experience as an Electronics Engineer, covering both design and test
Solid electronics fundamentals with the confidence to challenge designs
Hands on experience with electronics testing and characterisation
Able to communicate clearly with non-electronics specialists
Curious, practical mindset and interest in electronics

Years of experience are flexible. The focus is on capability, attitude and the ability to contribute quickly.

Tools & environment

Schematic and PCB design using Altium
On site lab and test facilities
Close collaboration with other electronics engineers and wider engineering teams

If you’re an electronics engineer who enjoys testing, problem solving and working on real products, this is a great contract opportunity.

Role: Data Engineer

Salary: Up to £60,000

Location: 4 days remote, 1 day per week in the Burnley office

About the company

KO2’s client designs and delivers remote sensor technology for automotive applications. The business works with large volumes of data collected from multiple sources and uses cloud-based platforms to turn that data into meaningful insights for internal teams and customers.

The role

KO2 are looking for a Data Engineer to join a growing technical team. This role will focus on building, maintaining and improving data pipelines that bring together data from a range of internal systems, external APIs and cloud environments. You will work closely with colleagues who consume the data, ensuring it is reliable, well structured and fit for purpose.

This is a hands on role with a mix of data engineering, cloud infrastructure and light DevOps responsibilities. You will have the opportunity to help tidy up and standardise existing solutions, migrate or replace legacy components, and implement best practices across the data platform.

Key responsibilities

Designing, building and maintaining data pipelines in AWS
Combining and transforming data from multiple sources into usable datasets
Writing and maintaining production-quality Python code
Working with databases and data storage solutions
Improving existing pipelines through standardisation and best practices
Supporting CI/CD and infrastructure work, including CloudFormation and related tools
Taking ownership of solutions and validating that outputs make sense from a data and business perspective

Required experience

Strong Python programming experience is essential
Hands-on cloud experience is essential, ideally AWS
Experience working with databases and data-driven systems
Background in data engineering, analytics engineering or a closely related role
Ability to understand data logic and question results, not just move data from A to B

Desirable experience

AWS services for data engineering
CI/CD and DevOps tooling
Infrastructure as code, such as CloudFormation
Experience with Azure or GCP is acceptable if you can demonstrate the ability to transfer skills to AWS

The ideal candidate

You will have a solid foundation in data engineering and cloud technologies and be keen to continue developing your skills. You may not tick every box, but you will be curious, proactive and comfortable learning new tools where needed. Attitude, problem-solving ability and long-term fit are as important as existing technical skills

Location and working pattern

This role is remote-first, with four days per week working from home and one day per week in the Burnley office. The in-office day is typically Tuesday and is an important part of team collaboration. Candidates should be within a reasonable commuting distance to make weekly attendance sustainable.

Salary

Up to £60,000 depending on experience, with flexibility for candidates who meet the majority of requirements.
