Meet one of our Engineers
“I am a recent graduate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with a keen interest in radio systems, having become a radio amateur while at university. Since joining Blighter, I have undertaken a wide range of projects involving characterising the performance of microwave RF modules and working on automated radar testing.
I think that Blighter has a great environment to work in, where you will have colleagues with a wide variety of engineering backgrounds from which to draw knowledge from. I have no doubt that completing a placement here would help develop your skills and provide an interesting, fulfilling time outside of the university environment.”
