Culture
DNA Electronics’ scientists and engineers enjoy and thrive on working in an
interdisciplinary team, but can also work independently and use their own
initiative. We offer a competitive compensation package and the chance to
participate in the company’s financial success.

City), the offices are easily accessed from the main rail links of Paddington
station at 10 minutes tube ride and Kings Cross station at 25 minutes tube
ride.
