What We Offer
This role is based on-site at our Lincoln office. Because our software and hardware teams integrate closely, much of the development and testing happens here. You will report to the Head of Software and work alongside a small team of engineers who share responsibility for delivering robust, well-engineered solutions that support our wider business. Metis is a small business, so while your main responsibilities will focus on CAD, we value people who are enthusiastic to learn and willing to get involved in a range of challenges. If you have other skills, we would love to hear about them.
We value difference and we don’t have a fixed idea when it comes to background or education. Provided you can show the required level of experience and willingness to learn, we would like to hear from you.
We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role. If you are a CAD Draughtsman who enjoys solving real problems, learning new things, and building systems that make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
