Our client is looking for a hands-on Electronics Assembly Technician with strong practical skills to help manufacture, assemble, and test technical components. This role is suited to someone who thrives on "being on the tools" rather than focusing on design work. While good problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities are important, the primary focus is on executing tasks with precision and efficiency.
The right candidate will have experience with soldering, cable crimping, and general assembly work, as well as a thorough understanding of electronics. You'll support senior engineers and play a key role in building engineering capabilities while developing your skills over time. We can only review applications from candidates who are local to the warehouse/office facility near High Wycombe.
