As a result of sustained high customer demand for DCA's electronic design offering, we are continuing to grow the team and we are seeking outstanding graduate electronic engineers to join us.
If you have great technical skills, a can-do attitude and an aptitude for product design, we can give you an accelerated start to your career. We work in lean project teams at DCA on projects in a diverse range of applications, from safety-critical medical devices to industrial equipment. You'll be collaborating with not just electronics and software engineers but colleagues from all DCA's technical disciplines, working on fast-paced projects solving difficult problems for our clients. It's an environment where you'll quickly gain a wide range of professional experience.
What we expect
- A great creative problem-solver, able to generate innovative solutions to complex engineering problems.
- You to be able to combine academic excellence with natural engineering intuition and a genuine interest in product development.
- An ability to assimilate new information and learn new skills very quickly in a dynamic, consultancy environment.
- You to take responsibility for your technical design work, although more experienced engineers will be happy to collaborate and support you, informally and through our formal design checking procedures.
