    Who you are

    You will be highly motivated, diligent and excited by STEM subjects, be happy working on your own initiative and as part of a small team. You will either complete your STEM related ‘A’ level studies, including Maths and Physics this year, or already be studying a university degree in an engineering discipline, preferably in Systems, Software, Electronics, Physics or Robotics.

    What else?  Many of our graduate population have commenced their time with us as Year in Industry students and have both enjoyed the work and demonstrated great potential.  This could be you, and if so you will have the option of sponsorship and paid engineering work throughout your degree studies.  After that you will join our two year Graduate Development Programme.  Then?  Well like our products, the sky’s the limit!
