Job summary
Can you design and layout printed circuit boards?
Want to use those skills to make bespoke, low volume but high impact products?
You can do exactly that with HMGCC, in a modern engineering environment with state-of-the-art equipment, working on cutting-edge hardware that will help protect national security.
You’ll join a product development team, helping to create unique electronic hardware. You’ll bring your existing knowledge, technical expertise and fresh ideas to develop, improve and maintain hardware solutions.

In this role, no two days will be the same. One day you might be laying out a PCB, the next you could be liaising with a manufacturer to discuss processes or researching and innovating the latest in PCB technology.
