Whether it’s developing crash test dummies and simulation software to refine the safety design of every car on the road; or manufacturing the optical fibers for junctions that power the world’s internet; or machining microscopic filters so small that they can remove cancer cells from blood – all of these solutions have huge commercial opportunity as well as a meaningful human impact on people’s lives. This is a great time to join the Humanetics Group: its core capabilities in sensor intelligence, specialist fiber optics and precision engineering are the ingredient technologies that will fuel the growth of our interconnected digital and physical worlds in many industries.”
