ABOUT XYZ REALITY
XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this holographic technology, that sits within The Atom — a smart, site-safe headset/hardhat — but we implement it on projects, utilising the power of AR to ensure that all schemes are completed in line with delivery timescales and budgets.
XYZ has grown to over 100 staff across the UK, US & Europe and is working with Mission Critical organisations & construction companies to successfully deliver major projects.
THE ROLE
This role sits within the Production team at our NPI facility in Reading, Berkshire, reporting to the Senior Production Engineer.
As Production Assembly & Test Engineer, you will carry out hands-on assembly of XYZ's AR devices combined with in-process and final test and calibration. The role spans build and verification — assembling to SOP standards, then carrying out the calibration and test that releases product to customers.
You'll also contribute to documentation, quality processes and goods-in inspection, playing a key part in ensuring every Atom device that leaves our facility meets XYZ's exacting standards.
