Desirable Experience
* Background in maritime, defence, aerospace, or other safety-critical industries
* Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle (design to in-service support)
* Exposure to environmental or qualification testing
* Knowledge of EMC, power electronics, or embedded systems
Additional Information
* UK nationality required due to the nature of the work
* Predominantly on-site role due to hands-on testing and secure project requirements
