As developments in the space sector take centre-stage in the world's media
more and more frequently, the interest in space missions has grown. In the
UK alone, the space sector has grown by a massive £1 billion, driving new
businesses and creating new jobs.
The UK is fast becoming known as a world-class hub for satellite
manufacturing, technology and scientific expertise. Small but ambitious
aerospace companies all over the country – and further afield – are now
working independently of the larger national space agencies and making
real strides in what has traditionally been a very difficult sector to
break into.
Teledyne e2v Space Imaging is one such company. Based in Chelmsford in
Essex, the 200-strong team works to design, test and manufacture highly
advanced space imaging devices. Although its design centre is in the UK,
the company's reach is global and goes beyond the imaging domain, it has
given rise to the need to recruit increasingly large numbers of talented
specialists from around the world.
Key applications for the specialist CMOS and CCD imaging sensors designed
by Teledyne e2v Space Imaging include data collection for Earth
Observation, space telescopes for exploration of our universe, ground
astronomy and scientific research. The technologies are developed to suit
applications in ranges from x-ray through to visible and shortwave
infrared, using a number of various technology platforms that match the
needs of the space missions as well as ground-based applications and
sciences.
Whilst the sensor developed by the company is physically small in
comparison to the rest of the satellite, its impact is significant. In the
past 3 months, Teledyne e2v sensors:
The company works with its customers to design bespoke solutions that meet
their needs for high sensitivity, low noise, durability in hostile
conditions and high speed. The design teams are also looking into
increasing Teledyne e2v Space Imaging's product offering around
electronics and camera solutions designed specifically for commercial
space.
Exciting vacancies now available
All of this requires additional resources, meaning that vacancies are
available right now, with plans for several more in the not-too-distant
future already in the pipeline. Chief among these are opportunities for
engineers and physicists; however, there is also a huge appetite to
attract specialists from across all divisions of the commercial, space
industry.
According to Daniel Waller, General Manager at Teledyne e2v Space Imaging:
“The space sector is on a growth trajectory and so are we. We have
transformed from being just a component supplier to a trusted partner who
develops and designs solutions for both large primes and start-ups. All of
this means that we are actively seeking talented people to join us on our
exciting journey towards even greater expansion and growth.”
The company is hosting a Recruitment Evening at its site in Chelmsford on
July 11th, 4.30-7.30. This is an opportunity to gain an insight into the
business and speak to the team there about careers in Space.
Another upcoming event, where Teledyne e2v Space Imaging will have a
strong presence, is the Royal Aeronautical Institute's Autumn recruitment
fair, taking place in the UK in November 2023.
The recruitment drive is not aimed solely at engineers. The company is
looking for designers, manufacturers, R&D experts, risk assessors and
imaging experts to help create a cohesive, ambitious global team that will
take the company to the next level in commercial space achievement and
market share.
