Electronics and Engineering Graduate Recruitment Day
Electronics and Engineering Graduate Recruitment Day
Thursday 18 October 2018
We are currently recruiting for our Autumn 2019 trainee positions for graduates with backgrounds in Electronics, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering, or related disciplines.
We are particularly interested in graduates with higher level qualifications in artifical intelligence and machine learning to support the tremendous growth that we are seeing in this field.
We will be holding a Recruitment Day at our London office on Thursday 18 October 2018, at which interviews will take place. You will need to submit an application to attend the Recruitment Day and this will need to be with us by Monday 1st October.
We expect our trainees to have a minimum of 360 UCAS points and a 2.1 degree. You will need to be articulate both in writing and verbally as you will need to communicate technical and legal concepts clearly and concisely. Other skills that are needed include analytical skills, commercial awareness and the ability and confidence to talk to clients and other professionals who may or may not share your technical background.
