Keeping government buildings secure.
Developing new solutions.
Creating innovation.
It all matters.
We’re working to make government buildings as safe and secure as possible. So, we aspire to exceptional standards in the security hardware and software we provide, because off-the-shelf products, from CCTV to public address systems, won’t always cut it. That’s why our Product Development and Innovation team work to develop bespoke systems, to enhance commercially available products, and to imagine the possibilities for future products we could provide.
About the Role
As a Product Development and Innovation colleague, you will be based in Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes. You will lead projects from conception through to final roll-out, ensuring that the products we develop meet the high standards required for government use. Key Responsibilities
Develop bespoke security solutions for government customers. Enhance commercially available products to meet specific needs. Lead projects throughout the entire product lifecycle. Collaborate with team members to understand geographical contexts and operational requirements. What do I need to thrive here?
Alongside the training available to the wider FCDO Services team, there are specific options in place to help our Product Development and Innovation team excel: Encouragement to gain a broad range of practical skills: current colleagues have studied for HNCs and HNDs in everything from design to electronic to CAD engineering. Training to understand and use practical tools, like the 3D printers used in the prototyping and manufacturing process. The products we develop are like those you might find anywhere – but with exceptional capabilities built in. For example, our VOICE system, used in embassies worldwide, is a public address and incident alarm system that is multilingual, security-assured, and programmed for events from conflict to earthquakes. Our engineers must understand not just engineering, but also how hardware and software will operate across different regions and climates. Compensation
£27,360 plus £1,750 location allowance and excellent benefits.
