We work in small to medium-sized teams with most following modern Agile principles. Engineers share ideas and add to the ideas of others, document and present their work for discussion, review and support the efforts of others, whilst sharing their findings impartially and authoritatively.

In your role, you will be introduced to the team and ways of working and be treated liked another engineer on the team.

Responsibilities

You will:

• Be given problems to work on that will make use of your existing knowledge and skills, whilst also requiring you to learn something new (be that a new language, an internal codebase or a new API).
• Participate in different aspects of commercial and open-source software development, from product design and implementation to testing and support with plenty of help on hand from your network as you learn
• Overcome a variety of different tasks to help teams hit their targets. These may involve improving and implementing new workflows, investigating new software, helping teams with design and verification of products, and many other tasks which give to the success of these projects.
• Have the chance to provide knowledge and have your ideas heard, address problems independently
• Have support from the team to develop your knowledge, skills and passion throughout your placement whilst supplying to projects that we are working on.
• Have a dedicated mentor to provide you with the technical and practical help that you need to progress your career.
• Can network across the department and wider business as well as having the opportunity to present your work to other interns, colleagues and potentially with external partners.

We are looking for candidates with excellent problem-solving skills who are creative and curious with good communication and have the ability to collaborate. You will need to be a fast learner who enjoys picking up new skills and applying them as well as being keen to experiment with an interest in new/future technology.

You are likely studying for a degree in either Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or other relevant subjects such as Physics or Maths, although other degree types may be considered with appropriate experience.
