Roke Manor Research Careers Talk

Tuesday 1st December, 5.00pm

Building 67, room 1007

Roke is an innovative solutions provider and contract R&D specialist, owned by Siemens and based in Romsey. We pioneer developments in electronic sensors, networks, and communications technology, providing products and services to Siemens businesses, Government departments, and commercial customers. Our priority is to deliver competitive advantage to our clients through our technologies, services, products, world-class expertise and the speed at which solutions can be taken to market . At Roke, our engineers only work on the tricky stuff. That's why we're called upon repeatedly by our clients when they need a difficult problem solved quickly and with a solution that's in-tune with their own systems. During our presentation we will explain more about our business and projects and the type of graduates and vacation placements we are looking for this year. We will also talk through the application process as well as opportunities in the wider Siemens network.

Plans for 2010

We're plannig a trip to Bletchley Park, home of the WWII code-breakers and an important landmark in the history of computing. Currently, we're considering Wednesdays in March 2010. We will shortly open a voting system to help decide which date to book for. Enthusiasm for this trip is high, so we want to make sure that as many people as possible will be able to come.
