We manufacture a huge variety of cryogenic / measurement systems and sub-assemblies, from multi-million-pound custom builds to much smaller instruments and we would like you to contribute towards the continued development of these products, with your focus being on application and measurement.

In this role you will be supporting the development of products and measurement techniques that meet customer requirements. This will include completing concept designs, design development, validation and providing technical support for the manufacture of cryogenic / measurement systems and sub-assemblies.

To be effective in this role you will need to be able to understand the needs of the customer requirements and the challenges of their measurements. It would also be beneficial if you have prior knowledge of cryogenic systems and an appreciation of magnetic fields. The ideal candidate is likely to have a PhD in physical sciences, or a degree in a relevant subject with extensive experience of experiment design and automation of measurements at low temperatures. The ability to communicate effectively with others is essential, together with excellent problem-solving and team working skills.
