Company

When thinking of a new company to work for, it’s likely you look for someone who is working on new technology, something you won’t be 100 percent familiar with. Something that would be referred to as “exciting”, “innovative” or “cutting edge”. There’s plenty of companies that will use such hyperbole when advertising themselves to new potential employees, but it’s not always true. However, in this instance, all those adjectives are true. This is a company who have developed the world’s first self-organising mesh technology to deliver Gigabit Fixed Wireless Access services. It’s presently being deployed around the world to provide 5G virtual fibre connectivity for mobile operators and broadband service providers. They’ve got strong financial backing and operate a genuine flexible working environment.  

 

The role

You’ll be working as part of the development team, developing and testing the microwave communication product from early prototypes, through product approvals to volume manufacture. As opposed to simply documenting work and necessary changes, you’ll also be making modifications to SMT PCB’S and creating fixtures. You’ll also provide offshore support with new product introduction and assisting with test failure analysis.

 

What you get in return

In return you’ll be given the opportunity to play a key role in the growth in the growth and success of the company. You’ll be a part of a genuine flexible working environment, and work with brand new emerging technology. In addition, you’ll also receive a salary of up to £70,000, a generous company bonus and plenty of other benefits.
