• As a junior engineer you’ll be embedded in a technically strong and committed team, who are passionate about what they do and about passing on their hard-earned experience. You’ll learn how to design high performance, cost-optimised, reliable hardware that can be produced efficiently in high volume. As you gain experience, we’ll give you the opportunity to take on more responsibility and technical ownership to help you grow your career.

Required skills and experience – you should apply for this role if you have:

• A degree or HND in Electronics Engineering (or related subject).
• Practical electronic design skills. You’ll need to demonstrate knowledge of analogue and mixed-signal design, microprocessor interfacing and power supply design.
• A methodical approach to problem-solving and debugging, and practical lab skills (soldering, using test equipment etc.)
• Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with a multi-disciplinary team, in person and remote working.
• Ability to work under pressure, learning and applying new skills quickly.

Desirable skills and experience – it would be an advantage if you have:
