Description:

eeing is believing. And that’s the only way you’ll really get to know about our sophisticated technologies and how we’re using them to fight crime in the capital. We don’t say much, for obvious reasons, but suffice to say that we’re leading advancements in emerging technologies to deliver bespoke electronic and IT solutions in specialist areas to make London safer.

The Technology, Research and Innovation (TRI) team keeps the Met at the cutting-edge of tech. Our work is highly innovative and no two projects are ever the same. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Electronics Senior Technologist, with significant hands-on electronics design and technical leadership experience, to join an exciting engineering and science team using state of the art equipment within a multi discipline environment to develop bespoke electronics solutions, to make London safer. As an Electronics Senior Technologist, you will be part of the Electronics System Development (ESD) team who develop niche electronic solutions to unique business issues. You will provide day to day technical oversight, mentoring, and guidance to the electronics development team and have the ability to identify design problems early, steering the team to effectively design solutions. You will also act as the technical design authority for all electronic designs to ensure design solutions are robust and fit for purpose to meet operational requirements. This will involve running formal electronic design reviews to provide the necessary design oversight to projects. Another important aspect of this role will be to provide the strategic direction to enable the electronics team to successfully develop solutions with the very latest electronics technology. This will involve the role holder continually researching the very best modern electronic components, packages and techniques and conducting small exercises to prove their use.

Have other technology skills?

Even if you do not feel you have had enough experience in some of the things that you think we do, we value the range of backgrounds that those joining us have come from, making this a perfect environment to grow into. Some of the qualities and abilities that our team have cannot easily be put into a job advert, so go ahead and apply, let us know what interests you about this role. We look forward to hearing from you. If you do not feel your experience entirely fits the role, we have other roles within this space that you may be interested in. We are keen to hear from people with different skillsets and you may be a far better fit than you realise. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies show that women, and black, Asian and minority ethnic people are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every qualification or already have every skill being requested. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the job description we’d love you to apply anyway, you might just be the perfect person for the role or another role within the team, or we might be able to help you develop towards your dream role in the future.
