• Ability to work independently and manage workload effectively.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.

Key Competencies

• Product-focused mindset balancing quality, performance, and cost.
• Curious and innovative approach to engineering challenges.
• Strong collaborator and communicator.
• Comfortable working within global, cross-functional teams.

Desirable Skills

• Professional proficiency in German and/or Chinese.

Working Environment

• Hybrid working model with 2-3 days onsite in Congleton (flexible depending on project phase).
• Access to modern labs and engineering facilities.
• Opportunity to work closely with international teams, including Germany and China (early morning calls may be required).

Why Apply?

• Work on cutting-edge industrial electronics products.
• Join a globally recognised engineering organisation.
• Contribute to meaningful R&D projects with real-world impact.
• Competitive contract rate and long-term assignment.
