Research And Development Engineer

Job description

My market leading client has a superb new opening for a Senior R&D Engineer to join them on a permanent basis.

The role is hands-on, working heavily on-site from their lab in West Sussex, UK.

Candidates must have at least 4 years' experience designing and testing complex systems from scratch.

The role requires a holistic systems view and will suit those who are curious to understand all aspects. The role has an electrical bias, however an understanding (not expertise) of mechanical and chemical aspects of R&D is required.

The role will involve technical pathfinding to explore suitable technology. The client needs someone who is use to working with pre-NPI where there can be lots of ambiguity and whilst being collaborative, it also requires a strong character to be able to define a product and bring stakeholders on that journey.

Salary ~£65k.

Please send an up-to-date CV if interested for more details.
