Job description

This role is available full-time for 37 hours per week Monday-Friday

or part-time with a minimum coverage of 30 hours

Flexible or compressed working hours available

This role is based on site at Hanslope Park

Can you design and layout printed circuit boards?

Want to use those skills to make bespoke, low volume but high impact products?

You can do exactly that with HMGCC, in a modern engineering environment with state-of-the-art equipment, working on cutting-edge hardware that will help protect national security.

You’ll join a product development team, helping to create unique electronic hardware. You’ll bring your existing knowledge, technical expertise and fresh ideas to develop, improve and maintain hardware solutions.

You will have the freedom to influence the design process from concept through to production, seeing your ideas and work become real world products.

In this role, no two days will be the same. One day you might be laying out a PCB, the next you could be liaising with a manufacturer to discuss processes or researching and innovating the latest in PCB technology.

If you’re curious, motivated and ready to take ownership of real engineering challenges, this is your opportunity.

• Experience of PCB design for RF, EMC and signal integrity.
• Power distribution networks knowledge.
• Configuration control abilities e.g. able to use GIT.

Your personal skills

You will be someone who:

• Displays behaviours that promote a collaborative working environment which supports equality, diversity and inclusion.
• Is enthused by collaborating with other capable engineers, combining your collective knowledge to produce better results.
• Enjoys the challenge of thinking of innovative solutions to hard problems, you are not constrained by convention.
• Can manage your own workload and can adapt to changing demands on your time.
• Puts plans in place to make improvements.
• Works with customers to clearly understand their desired outcomes and expectations.
• Is keen to learn and continually improve both technical and non-technical skills.
• Likes seeing things through to the end. You have the drive and commitment to finish projects to a high standard.
