Recent projects include biosensors, robotics, connected devices, control systems and diagnostics.
The Opportunity
This role is suited to new graduates who have completed their undergraduate degree within the past year. We are looking for people who want to use electronics to develop products and devices which will improve people’s lives.
Typical projects last from a few weeks to a few years, so you will get to work on a wide range of different projects. Some projects need you to focus on electronics, others on software, and many would need both.
We support the career development of staff through mentoring and personal training budgets. We have an ethical policy to ensure that your work is satisfying. There is opportunity to travel to clients and manufacturers and an exciting bonus package to reward achievement of company performance targets.
