You'll receive coaching and support to achieve your personal goals and work in multidisciplinary teams to gain as much experience across the product lifecycle from your time in industry as possible.

Our ultimate aim is to see you through your undergraduate years with the potential for further placements and Graduate opportunities post study.

Look forward to working with highly skilled professionals who are passionate about their work of designing and developing cutting edge technology for a worldwide market. Each of our sites specialises in different products and technologies, including power electronics, microcircuits, test equipment, human machine interfaces, sensors, magnetics, semiconductor components, cables and connectors.
