Filtronic expands places and people

“Establishing the new centre for satellite communication design has enabled us to expand our physical footprint across three UK locations: Sedgefield, Leeds and now Manchester, and has assisted us in being able to attract engineering talent,” said Filtronic technology director Tudor Williams.

The new staff are principal RF and filter design engineers, MMIC and PCB engineers, two graduate engineers and two process engineers – one of whom is a system-in-package specialist, according to the company.

“We are very pleased to welcome all these engineers to the Filtronic team, company CEO Richard Gibbs. “Over the past quarter Filtronic has received three significant new contracts, totalling over £1.2 million, and expanding our design engineering workforce will be key to maintaining and growing our leadership in RF and microwave technology.”

Filtronic designs and makes RF, microwave and mmWave components and subsystems, for telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace, defence and space. It is AIM listed on the London Stock Exchange, and has operations in the UK and the US.
