Description

As part of Spirent Communications, our Positioning Technologies business unit is where the world's leading companies turn when they need to accelerate their time-to-market for next-generation navigation and communication systems. In fact, every significant industry test in the last six years for devices deployed on land, at sea, in the air and in space, has used Spirent's test systems as the benchmark. We are continually recognised by customers, industry, press, and technology associations for our innovative thinking and our ground-breaking products. The navigation and communications market has untapped potential. The boundaries of how fast, far, and accurately voice and data can be transmitted have yet to be reached, or even defined. Spirent solutions are paving the way for tomorrow's communications.

Spirent Positioning Technology designs, manufactures and supplies advanced satellite navigation test and simulation systems, many of which comprise radio frequency signal generators plus computer systems running complex application software; all designed in-house.

Reporting into the Business Development team based in the UK, the Professional Services Engineer – Training Lead will have ownership for all aspects of customer training (remote and in-person) as well as supporting customer acceptance tests. The role requires close working relationships with peers in Sales, Global Services, and Business Development.

Delivery of these services requires a commitment to national and international travel as required, including occasional visits to our site in Paignton.
