• Experience in electronic schematic capture and PCB design.
• Experience of RF design, EMC, and signal integrity.
• A good understanding of PCB manufacturing processes.

Your Personal Skills

You will be the type of person who:

• Is keen to learn and improve both technical and non-technical skills.
• Enthused by working with other engineers, combining collective knowledge to produce better results.
• Likes seeing projects through to completion with drive and commitment.
• Enjoys thinking of innovative solutions to challenging problems.
• Can manage your workload and adapt to changing demands.

Using your diverse skills, you will:

• Design, develop, and document electronic PCB systems to high standards.
• Verify designs through tests and peer reviews.
• Support products and investigate defects.
• Contribute to library parts creation and management.
• Participate in project planning and meetings.
