Electronics Technician in Bristol

Responsibilities

You will work with our engineers and senior technicians to realise our designs. Typically, you will be working with one-offs or small prototype runs where the build process is not fully defined, and a diverse range of skills are required to complete the build. Think of a skilled artisan rather than a production line operative. You will gain exposure to a wide range of products across Consumer, Healthcare, Industrial and Defence and Security sectors, each bringing new challenges and learning opportunities. As you become established in the role, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the design process – particularly DFM and manufacturing process development. This role might suit an individual with a background in a CEM or similar manufacturing environment who is looking for a new challenge involving greater variety, or someone who just loves building things. This is a very hands-on role, so we are looking for an individual with strong practical skills and outstanding attention to detail.

We expect strong experience with assembly techniques and the skills to:

• Work independently and pro-actively
• Produce process documents and work instructions
• Hand solder
• Manage specialist equipment
• Use common hand tools
• Execute test procedures
• Goods inspection
• Work in an ESD-safe environment

Qualifications

Although the hands-on aspects of the role will dominate, the role will also involve tasks such as kitting, producing and contributing to product documentation and shipping. We need a quality-minded individual who can manage an ever-changing workload while maintaining a smile on their face. We are looking for candidates to have demonstrable experience in the listed skills as essential. It is desirable for candidates to have qualifications such as A-Level/HNC standard (or higher) and to possess good English, Maths and IT skills. A significant proportion of our work is within the defence and security sector, so candidates must be willing and able to gain UK security clearance.

Benefits

• Health and lifestyle perks accompanying private healthcare for you and your family
• 25 days annual leave (plus a bonus half day on Christmas Eve) with the opportunity to buy 5 additional days
• Generous company pension scheme
• Opportunity to get involved with community and charity-based initiatives
• Annual performance-based bonus
• PA share ownership
• Tax efficient benefits (cycle to work, give as you earn)
