What’s in it for you?
You will sit at the core of a multi-functional design team with the opportunity to widen your knowledge in areas such as Electronics, Mechanical and Software design providing an excellent base for further career development.
You will experience development across the full product lifecycle with opportunities ranging from concept and new technology development through to product qualification and production support.
