You’ll use your technical knowledge and ideas to create and maintain electronic hardware for custom-designed security products to meet the needs of partners at home and overseas.

No two days will be the same. One day, you could be modifying an existing design to introduce a new requirement; the next, you could be collaborating with a multidisciplinary team on designing the next set of products and systems.

You’ll receive training and support to develop in this role, as well as a training budget for external courses. You’ll also be able to dedicate a portion of your time to innovation and research.

• Further qualifications in electrical/electronic or mechanical engineering, equivalent to/or a 2:2 or greater relevant Degree.
• 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.
• 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 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 be involved in the full product development process. You’ll use your skills and experience to create a wide range of designs and systems while 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.
