Key Responsibilities
- Key Responsibilities
- Work in interdisciplinary teams to translate project requirements into experiments that yield insights for our clients. Your role in these teams is to take the lead on the instrumentation, data acquisition, control, and mechatronics aspects of the project through all its stages.
- Work in interdisciplinary teams to advance the quality, improve the efficiency, and expand the scope of our test capabilities by developing new measurement/mechatronic systems and enhancing existing ones . You will contribute to or take the lead on the electrical/mechatronics and control/embedded software aspects of these projects. (Some things we work on: electric ducted fans, force-controlled winches, autonomous vessel models, actuators that mimic nonlinear springs. )
- Serve as the custodian of our data acquisition capabilities , which underpin the measurement and control of physical quantities in all our experiments. You will be the team"s data acquisition subject matter expert and lead our efforts to maintain and enhance our data acquisition capabilities in all aspects: hardware and software development, rigorous testing and characterisation, work process design, and technical knowledge management.
- Strong real-time embedded system software development skills. Experience with developing real-time embedded systems is highly desirable. Experience with National Instruments products, particularly LabVIEW and compactRIO , is ideal.
- Experience with the design and development of mechatronics systems , especially involving the application of control theory in these systems, is advantageous.
- Motor/servo drives
- A highly resourceful, self-driven team-player; we are not seeking an employee to delegate work to, but a partner to collaborate with.
Requirements
- Continuously deepen your technical expertise and contribute to the team"s growth by sharing your knowledge through technical reports and seminars.
- Skills, Qualifications, Experience
- Bachelor"s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience, which should equip you with a solid foundation in electronics, programming, signals, and automatic control .
- Good experience with sensors and data acquisition systems , backed by a strong grasp of the fundamentals (e.g. sensor physics, analog-digital conversion, sampling, filtering, transforms etc.).
- A solid electrical/electronics foundation , both in terms of knowledge as well as technical skills. Experience with analogue electronics and resolving power and signal integrity issues is highly desirable.
- Experience with the following is advantageous:
- Excellent communication skills and proficiency in the English language are essential to facilitate the high level of interdisciplinary collaboration expected within our teams.
- Experience (and have fun!) building and testing complex measurement and mechatronics systems that will challenge your understanding and grow your expertise.
