You will be working in a highly specialised team where you will be helping to develop ground breaking technology focused on microwave prototyping. You will be working with award winning academics and researchers. Some of the key duties are:
* Manufacture and assembly of microwave prototype circuits to a high level of accuracy, using hybrid assembly techniques.
* Programming and operation of microwave measurement instruments, including spectrum analyser, vector network analyser, anechoic chamber, signal sources and high frequency oscilloscopes.
* Provide detailed technical information, guidance and support to relevant staff as appropriate within the workshop in the development, construction and modification of microwave through sub-millimetre wave assemblies and apparatus using the following specialist techniques: manual and/or automatic surface mount component placement, precision soldiering..
* Procure and set- up specialised equipment and apparatus for use by academics, postdoctoral researchers and students in practical experiments. Construction and assembly of apparatus in house & off-site, if required.
* Prepare and carry out procedures for tests/experiments and collate record and tabulate data for interpretation, e.g. the preparation of reports.
