The company has raised over £5M of investment to date, is revenue generating and currently employs 15 members of staff divided between Operations, Sales & Marketing, Engineering, Semiconductor devices and Finance.

The Role:

The role of test technician is the perfect opportunity for an individual who has a passion for electronics / engineering to begin a career in the fast-paced industry of semiconductors.

The successful applicant will join our operations team as we continue to productionise our current products whilst developing future product ranges designed for LIDAR, greenhouse gas sensing, defence systems and telecomms applications.

Working at our Sheffield site, you’ll undertake a range of tasks which will include the setting-up and operating test equipment, testing of our sensors, ensuring internal processes and Health & Safety measures are followed and carrying out quality checks.

As a start-up we are committed to developing from within and as we grow there will be a broad range of roles within operations so if you're interested in growing with the business, we can work together to ensure you can pursue the available career pathways and develop with us. The ideal candidate will be happy working in a fast-paced production environment and have a ‘can-do’ attitude with a strong work ethic.
