Socode are supporting a company that designs and builds specialist electronic sensing and surveillance systems, used in defence, security, and critical infrastructure environments. Their work sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world deployment, with systems designed to operate reliably in demanding conditions.
They’re looking to hire a Production Technician to support the build, test, and repair of these systems. This is a genuinely hands-on role. You’ll be working directly with electronic hardware, supporting production builds and helping engineers with prototypes, investigations, and fixes when things don’t behave as expected.
What you’ll be doing
* Building and testing electronic assemblies and complete systems
* Setting systems up, running tests, and checking performance
* Fault-finding and repairing units when issues arise
* Supporting production and return repairs
* Helping engineers with prototype builds and investigations
* Putting together simple test setups or jigs when needed
* Keeping build and test records up to date
* Feeding back issues and improvements to the wider team
* Keeping tools, equipment, and your work area in good order
What they’re looking for
* A solid electronics background, ideally with a technical qualification
* Someone comfortable working hands-on with electronic hardware
* Experience building, testing, fixing, or modifying electronic equipment
* A methodical, practical approach without needing close supervision
* Confidence using standard lab tools and following good ESD practice
* Someone reliable who finishes work properly and flags issues early
* A team player who works well alongside engineers
