Working in electronics manufacturing is undeniably fast-paced, involving the regular appearance of new developments, new customer requirements, and constant pressure for fast deliveries of prototypes and products in production quantities.

However, the pressure and constant change can be stimulating, ensuring that the work never settles into routine drudgery, and, for many people, the exposure to technology adds fascination and interest to the job.
Asteelflash most frequently recruits graduates with electrical engineering, electronics, physics or software development qualifications.
