This role is ideal for a technician or production engineer with solid experience in electro-mechanical assembly and testing. You'll need to be confident with both hardware and software tools, have strong attention to detail, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced, precision-focused environment.

• Familiarity with electronic and mechanical drawings and PCB design software
• Working knowledge of Python, C#, and basic data protocols (Hex/Decimal/Binary)
• Strong fault-finding skills and ability to use standard diagnostic equipment
• Experience with cleanroom or opto-mechanical assembly is a bonus
