The Company
A privately owned and long established, well respected organisation based in the south of England, specialising in the supply of high end technology and leading edge RF/Microwave products.

The Role
The Application Engineer is responsible for supporting sales of RF & microwave products and system solutions.

Primary Duties:
* Support the sales team in technical demonstrations and presentations.
* Maintain and build technical knowledge for all RF & Microwave products within the company's portfolio.
* Regularly hold internal training exercises for the sales team.
