You will be given engaging technical challenges to solve, a collaborative, trusted work environment and the opportunity to develop a career that can encompass the full range of the company's activities, form product development, research, technical consultancy, business consultancy, and customer engagement.

As an Apprentice Engineer, you will join an established product team, working alongside skilled and experienced individuals who are motivated to train and coach you on the day-to-day skills required to produce high quality solutions to complex engineering problems.

You will get involved with the whole development lifecycle from day 1, from design through development, test, release, and where possible customer engagement. You will learn the tools, techniques and approaches used by engineering professionals and apply them in a controlled environment to ensure projects are delivered on time, to quality and to budget.

There are a variety of roles within the Product Engineering field and Cross-Domain Team, so while you will specialise in one, you will be encouraged to develop skills and understanding across the range.

These include:

Software Engineer (Application): Commonly in C/C++ or Java on Linux, developing application code for a product's primary function, management capabilities, and support functions

Software Engineer (Embedded): Commonly in C/C++, developing code that runs in constrained environments and which requires an understanding of the hardware involved

Firmware Engineer (FPGA): Predominately in VHDL, developing designs to perform high performance processing using Intel or Xilinx FPGAs

Hardware Engineer (Electronics/Mechanics): Designing and producing custom hardware (PCBs) to meet specific product and/or customer requirements. Many of our products have specific environmental challenges, whether that is temperature/dust/humidity, limited space, power density, or security. To meet these needs, we develop custom enclosures incorporating power, cooling, and security solutions

Testing Engineer: Our products are relied on by our customers in order to achieve their mission objectives. As such testing forms a core part of our development approach. This ranges from designing test approaches, developing test frameworks (from Python through to custom distributed C++), to producing automated test mechanisms as part of Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines.
