Acting as the technical focal point once a contract has been secured, you'll work closely with customers, systems integrators, suppliers and internal teams to transform approved bid concepts into detailed engineering solutions and successfully deliver projects through design, manufacture, testing, FAT, SAT and final acceptance.
This is a varied role that combines project execution, engineering design, stakeholder management and customer engagement. We're looking for someone who understands the full project lifecycle, has a good grasp of electronics and instrumentation systems, and can confidently influence customers, suppliers, integrators and internal stakeholders to drive projects to a successful conclusion.
