On offer is the chance to lead a brilliant team, work in interesting design challenges, be part of a fast paced and varied project portfolio and to stand up and be counted as the champion of a great Edinburgh Design Centre.

 

You will be responsible for managing and supporting all the activities associated with the concept, development and validation of analog RF, power and mixed signal IC projects.
