• Overcoming a variety of different tasks to help teams hit their targets. These may involve improving and implementing new workflows, investigating new software, helping teams with design and verification of products etc.
• Using your voice to provide knowledge, new insights and address problems independently.

We Are Looking For Individuals Who

You will need to be studying towards a degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or any other relevant subject. Other degree types may be considered with validated experience.

Qualities That Will Help Your Application Stand Out

• A genuine enthusiasm for computing – an interest in software and technology that extends beyond your academic studies.
• Curiosity and initiative – evidence that you explore, build or experiment with technology in your own time, whether through personal projects, hackathons, internships, open-source contributions or other activities.
• An interest in emerging technologies – curiosity about where technology is heading and an open mindset towards learning, experimenting and trying new approaches.
• Evidence of good analytical and communication skills – the ability to think through problems logically, explain your ideas clearly and work effectively with others.
