As our Electronics Engineer you will assume responsibility for:

• Working with physicists and other engineering colleagues on the design, development, documentation and practical build of repeating products to meet customer expectations within tight timescales.
• Experimental set up realisation and measurement of magnetic fields across a range of frequencies from DC (0 Hz) to VLF (3-30 kHz), for both research and technical support purposes.
• Design, construction, and operation of compensation coil systems for nullifying magnetic fields, and systems for the degaussing of large magnetic shielding enclosures.
• Set up and operate tests both in-house and externally, whilst documenting procedures and reporting results.
• Communicating with customers to generate design requirements and provide technical support, which can involve site visits
• Working within the team on product development with low noise electronics (Amplifiers, DAQ)
• Continued product design development on existing electronic equipment
• Collaborating with universities and external partners in the development of coil technology and other relevant electronics for diverse commercial and research applications
• Ensuring product development complies to relevant CE standards
• Defining and documenting suitable parts in order to meet customer requirements is a key requirement.
• Helping to shape the development of an expanding electronics department
• Opportunity to work on various funded projects, which aim to place the United Kingdom at the forefront of emerging quantum technologies and their applications
