Systems Engineer
This is a role well suited to an ambitious Engineer, looking for a challenge in their career, as a Systems Engineer.
The successful candidate must have a technical background in the control of complex automated electro-mechanical systems, state machines, characterisation, and in translating design requirements into detailed functional specifications. The candidate must also demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively within a team in a systematic approach, delivering product solutions at pace.
As a key member of the team, you will be part of a highly innovative multidisciplinary Engineering team (Mechanical, Electronics, Biochemistry, Software, Artificial Intelligence, Optics) working on complex problems to serve the needs of laboratories of any size - today and tomorrow.
The critical skills we are looking for
- An understanding of control systems for complex electromechanical analysers / systems
- Work across multiple technologies and disciplines integrating fluidics, electronics, optics and software
- Define characterisation studies / DOE's for subsystems and analysers to understand error budget using design for six sigma and statistical based techniques
- Act as the interface between the hardware & software teams to coordinate integration of solutions into the analyser architecture
- Create detailed functional specifications which enable the wider Engineering team to understand the detailed design of the analyser; including design margins
- Write bespoke scripts for controlling subsystems within the analyser (State Machine Diagrams, etc.)
- Driving Investigations, segment, and root cause issues down to component level utilising team
Required for the success of this role
- Knowledge of control system engineering in the automation and overall operation of complex electromechanical systems
- Software applications knowledge, including scripting (Python, Perl, VBA or other languages)
- High paced individual who can work in a cross functional high performing engineering team
- Eager and passionate to understand both business and user needs in driving solutions
- Ability to work across multiple functional boundaries to deliver the desired outcome
- Readily accepts ownership, accountability, and responsibility
- Excellent communications skills - written and verbal skills are required
- Bachelor's degree in relevant technical discipline (Electronics / Software / Electrical / Mechatronic)
- 3+ years' experience in automation and control systems engineering
