  • To interpret electro-magnetic analysis results and provide design direction where necessary supported by analysis reports.
  • To chair technical meetings with customers and to ensure all due customer-facing actions are completed.
  • To support less experienced analysis engineers.
  • To support the Business Development team in seeking out new business and marketing opportunities.
