You're a Thermo-Mechanical Engineer / Technology Research Scientist who'll work on development of advanced engineering high temperature sensors operating at up to 1400oC in aerospace applications. You'll be researching materials for the development of OEM integrated sensor solutions with leading global companies in the Aerospace, Automotive and Robotics industries for the measurement of Torque, Force, Pressure and Temperature. The ASIC delivers a RF signal to the sensing elements and receives their resonant response, from which the physical measurement can be established using software analysis and calibration algorithms.
You'll have strong engineering, physics and/or materials science understanding. They would work as part of integrated team of engineers looking the full system including mechanical, electrical and manufacturing. The role brings with it the ability to use a wide range of experiences and knowledge, while at the same time, working within a flexible and creative team.
