Jacquiline, Principal Process Engineer

"Working with Plessey has opened many learning opportunities for me especially in R&D side of things. Most of my working experience has been with the manufacturing and product transfers. Here at Plessey, I get to be involved in the actual development of new technologies. Also, I am learning not just Lithography, but the whole process itself. It's been a great experience so far."

Ross, Device Engineer

"Working for Plessey allows me to continually deepen my understanding of phenomena and characterisation techniques that are not just specific to uLED displays, but apply to various applications within the semiconductor industry. With Plessey having a FAB on site, there are a large range of amicable colleagues within reach who specialise in fields across the process, starting from MOCVD specialists for GaN to experts in device testing and solid-state physics."
