## About the Role

You must hold a BSc or BEng in Electronics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a similar relevant subject, along with solid placement or post-graduate experience in engineering. You will have strong programming fundamentals, ideally in C, gained through your studies or practical projects, and a genuine interest in embedded systems, electronics, mathematics or signal processing.

Familiarity with Python, MATLAB or LabVIEW, and with version control tools like Git, would be strongly beneficial, as would an awareness of testing approaches and Agile working. An interest in digital signal processing is an advantage.

Whilst the tech match is important, at Graduate level it isn't everything. Above all, you will be curious, logical in how you solve problems, and able to explain your technical thinking clearly and document your work well. Juniors that excel here often have a genuine interest in embedded software, to the extent it can be hard for them to say what their other hobbies away from engineering are!
