Job description

About the Role:

We are looking for an enthusiastic Hardware Assembly Technician to join a growing technology business developing high-precision technology systems used by Formula 1 teams, aerospace organisations and leading research institutes.

This is a hands-on, bench-based role involving the assembly, wiring, PC building, software setup and testing of precision hardware.

The role would suit someone with a practical and technical mindset, whether gained through a BTEC, NVQ, apprenticeship, previous workplace experience or personal projects such as custom PC building, electronics, soldering, 3D printing or mechanical work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assemble precision hardware, mechanical enclosures and PC systems.
• Build and configure PCs, including hardware and software installation.
• Produce cable harnesses, solder components and route wiring looms.
• Inspect incoming components and carry out product testing.
• Prepare components and kits for production and fulfilment.
• Provide occasional hardware and technical support.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in accurate, high-quality work.
• Has excellent attention to detail and can follow technical instructions and engineering drawings.
• Is comfortable with PCs, electronics or mechanical assembly.
• Communicates well and enjoys working as part of a collaborative team.
• Is keen to learn and develop their technical skills.

This is a fully on-site role on the outskirts of Bristol. Due to the semi-rural location and limited public transport, access to reliable independent transport is essential.

What's on Offer:

• On-the-job training and mentoring across company product, mechanics, electronics, PCs and software.
• Opportunities to develop technical skills and take on greater responsibility.
• Salary progression as your skills and responsibilities develop.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Generous holiday allowance.
• The opportunity to work on innovative technology used in Formula 1, aerospace and research
