We're looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to join our growing Engineering team at NPL. Reporting into the Principal Engineer, you will play a vital part in stretching our capability and taking our research to the next level. In this hybrid role you will spend approx. 2 – 3 days a week on site in Teddington, and 2 – 3 days working remotely. We value your work-life balance and are open to discuss flexible or part-time working arrangements to accommodate your needs.
