Junior Hardware Engineer

The role is initially offered on a 1,5 year fixed term.This is a unique opportunity for a recent graduate to work in a leadingindustrial research environment. They will work with world classengineers and researchers with the opportunity to invent solutions thatrevolutionize the future's cloud infrastructure. This stimulatingenvironment is the ideal place to grow your practical skills andchallenge your ingenuity. Example group activities involve high speed electronics (>25Gbps),FPGA's, optical transceivers, photonic IC design and fabrication,precision analogue control systems and complex board integration.Qualifications Skill Set- You will have, or be predicted at least a 2.1 in Electronics, Physics,Computer Science, or related degree.As well as a strong theoretical grasp of their field, the candidate willhave a demonstrable ability for hands-on engineering, and an appetite tolearn new skills. They will be keen to explore multiple designs, take anopen-minded approach to solutions, and use a combination of skills tofollow an idea through to the realization of a research prototype.ExperienceApplicants will be able to discuss a project or projects to illustratepoints from the skill set mentioned, where practical experience willpreferably have been obtained beyond their degree in the form of hobbiesor work placements. They will also be able to demonstrate attention todetail, self-teaching, and pride in their work, which could be fromrelated or diverse fields: anything from a home electronic automationproject, audio project, jewellery, model making or textiles.Responsibilities The applicant will have experience of some of the skills below, andhave a passion to learn and practice others as required: Analogue, digital, high frequency and optoelectronic design, frompaper study to simulation and ECAD Bench debugging (e.g. electronic debugging with oscilloscopes or logic analyser) Simple mechanical design and use of MCAD tools Experience with manual and automated workshop tools and equipment suchlaser cutting, 3D printing and light machining PCB assembly and hand soldering of surface mount components Microcontroller firmware for embedded applications Higher level software for automation, integration, or demonstration(e.g. Python, C#, Matlab) - provided by Dice C#, CLOUD, COMPUTER SCIENCE, DEGREE, IC DESIGN, MATLAB, MCAD, PHYSICS, PYTHON
