New vacancy: Automotive Technical Specialist

We are looking for an automotive expert to advise our customers on PicoScope diagnostics. We don’t expect you to know everything about PicoScope, as we will give you full training on our diagnostic kit and accessories. We just require you to understand automotive technology and be able to communicate your knowledge and enthusiasm to a global audience. The position is based at our office in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, UK.

See our Careers Website for full details of the position.

New Case Study: ECM Failure

In our latest case study, the car suddenly developed a misfire and never recovered. It was driven to the customer’s own local garage, where they carried out the usual checks, and it was starting to look as if the ECM had failed.

For the full story Read “ECM Failure” by Nick Hibberd.
