We currently have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Graduate Electronics Engineer within our Congleton R&D department.
About us
At Siemens General Motion Control (GMC) business in Congleton, we design, and manufacture AC electronics motor controllers known as drives, with a power range from a few hundred Watts up to 10's of Kilowatts and voltage ranges of 200-690V. These products not only help our customers better control and digitalise their machines, they can also help improve their carbon footprint. Crucial to ensuring continued success is providing our customers with a comprehensive product portfolio that meets their needs. Our R&D departments around the world are focused in helping to achieve this through, our innovation, fast time to market and most importantly our people and culture.
The Challenge
We are looking for a graduate engineerwho has a real passion for electronics engineering and simulation. The person wants to apply their knowledge and experience in product development, whilst at the same time having the curiosity to seek out new ways of doing things; can think creatively and not afraid to try new ideas even if they may be unsuccessful and continuously open to learning and growing as a person.
The successful candidate will join our electrical design team and will be working as part of a cross functional team to develop new products, supporting existing products and working on design to cost activities for variable speed drives.
As a minimum you should hold an electrical and electronics degree and ideally have knowledge of low voltage power or analogue electronics. Also, being able to show your capability to learn, diversity of thinking and an excellent work ethic, including working in cross functional teams are all extremely important to be successful in this role.
