You will be responsible for the assembly and test of electronic sensor components and products using a variety of tools and equipment, ensuring that they meet the relevant quality standards.
You will be involved in manufacturing new sensor technologies and ensuring that prototype sensor designs transition from a customer’s R&D project into a controlled production environment. This involves working closely with the application engineering team to produce a prototype sensor design and benchmark its performance. Many of our end customers are involved in motorsport, military, or specialist industries so a general interest in vehicles and aerospace is highly advantageous.
