There are also creative opportunities to get involved in outreach, representing Electronics Engineering in the community and participating in women-in-engineering and similar STEM engagement events.
What we’re looking for:
We are keen to speak to proactive, experienced and dynamic individuals who can multi-task and build strong relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to influence others.
