Your Personal Skills

You will be the type of person who:

• Is keen to learn and improve both technical and non-technical skills.
• Is enthused by working with other engineers, combining your collective knowledge to produce better results.
• Likes seeing things through to the end. You have the drive and commitment to finish projects to a high standard.
• Enjoys the challenge of thinking of innovative solutions to hard problems.
• Can manage your own workload and can adapt to changing demands on your time.

• Works with partners to clearly understand their desired outcomes and expectations.

Putting your skills to use

You’ll get involved in the full product development process. You’ll use your skills and experience to create a wide range of designs and systems whilst working with a variety of partners and design engineers. You can be creative, working in your own way towards delivery with a willingness to learn and a determination to succeed.

Using your diverse range of skills, you will:

• Design, develop and document electronic PCB systems to the highest standards.
• Verify designs by creating and implementing verification tests and carrying out peer reviews.
• Support products and investigate reported defects.
• Contribute to library parts creation and management.
