Job description

Quality at the heart of everything we do.

FT Technologies is a market-leading SME based in Surrey and Madrid, specialising in designing and manufacturing ultrasonic wind sensors—also known as anemometers or air-flow sensors. Our ultrasonic wind sensors are unique because we use acoustic resonance to measure wind speed, direction, and temperature within a small cavity.

The wind energy industry is expanding, and FT is growing with it. This is your place if you care about sustainability and the green revolution. Over the last decade, we have tripled in size. We employ around 100 talented individuals who contribute to our mission: to engineer invention through curiosity and creativity using our core technology.

Our current technology development aims to better serve our existing customers in wind energy. With significant investment and growth, our innovation in new products and manufacturing technology will extend the unique strengths of our wind sensors to meteorology, marine, and defence customers.
