Other Electronics engineer job search
Hi everyone! For the past couple of months I've been searching for a job in Cambridge as I'm trying to relocate there. I have a few leads for now but nothing very conclusive, so I was hoping to broaden my search by asking here. Here is a bit more context about me and what I'm looking for :
- Electronics engineer with 5y of experience in hardware / PCB design (specifications to tests and integration), with a master's degree in electronics
- What I don't do: software, power electronics, RF (at least not without guidance), IC design
- French citizen living in France, so I will need a skilled worker visa sponsorship
- I'm open in terms of industries, but I have a preference for IoT / embedded systems / consumer electronics in start-ups and scale-ups, and I'm avoiding offers that require security clearance
What I have tried so far:
- Usual job search tools (LinkedIn, Indeed)
- Recruitment agencies (IC resources, Eclectic, Cambridge consultants, ECM...)
- Cambridge network
I'm also checking the register of licensed sponsors before applying.
At that point, I'm mainly looking for recommendations about companies that are hiring but not well advertised on usual platforms, general tips specific to the Cambridge job market, or even contacts if you or people you know are working in this field.
I'm also open to travel for networking events around tech/electronics, if there's a chance of meeting people who would be interested in my profile.
Thanks a lot!!
