Teddington, United Kingdom NPL Full time

At NPL, we set the standards by which everything is measured. In doing so, the National Physical Laboratory is helping to combat issues on a global scale such as climate change, curing diseases, and the development of cutting-edge communications technology. Our role is to research, create and deliver the measurement infrastructure which underpins the UK's prosperity and quality of life across many fields of industry.

There is an opportunity at NPL for a scientist/engineer to work on research-related topics for future telecoms and quantum applications, with emphasis on high-frequency measurement of electronic circuits and devices. This role includes involvement with on-wafer measurement, electromagnetic materials characterisation, cryogenic measurement systems, and other areas related to electronics.

As a scientist, you'll be expected to acquire new knowledge to find solutions to advance our research. Also, if commercial opportunities arise from your work, you'll need to flag these – as this is how new products and services are born. At NPL, we learn from each other, respect each other, and work together to do better for ourselves and our customers.
