Let us introduce the role

Working as part of a small team of experienced engineers, this role offers candidates the opportunity to grow their knowledge and experience, gaining the requisite depth of electronic technician operations to facilitate knowledge of warhead electrical systems so they can apply sound engineering principles to analyse these systems and develop their career with us.

  • Can you use Labview, Matlab or other programming language for test equipment automation and/or data analysis?

  • Do you know about component testing and the importance of conformity or testing/calibration?
