Electronics Assembly Technician

Job description
The Company:

Cryogenic Ltd is the leading supplier of high field superconducting magnets and low temperature measurement systems which operate without liquid helium.

Our production facilities include a substantial machine shop with CNC turning and milling machines.

Our magnet power supplies and other essential electronic devices are also designed and assembled in-house. This makes it much easier for us to tailor our products to the requirements of a system. For instance, the magnet power source can be matched to the magnet setting, its current and voltage, to give full use of the input power for fast ramp of the magnetic field.
