Principal Systems Engineer
The Opportunity:
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Principal or Senior Systems Engineer to join the Engineering team, working as part of the team of engineers and scientists to drive the development of existing and next generation nanoscale instrumentation products. A key contribution to the product success is the specification, evaluation and improvement of system performance and architecture.
The role requires working with strong problem-solving skills to define, evaluate and improve design requirements and performance criteria for complex systems across a diverse range technical disciplines including mechanics, optics, lasers, electronics, motion control, and software. It will also include promoting best practice and working with stakeholders to ensure technical and functional compliance within a small but growing multidisciplinary team.
Location: Abingdon
Once settled/agreed – Hybrid Working
Key Responsibilities:
Own key elements of the system and sub-systems
Define and maintain system functionality breakdowns to mechanical, electronic, optical and software modules.
Specify the overall (sub-) system design, defining the contributions from mechanics, optics, electronics and software and communicate to all contributors.
Work hands-on with the equipment and apparatus to build an in-depth understanding of the machine operating characteristics and prove performance of the implemented designs.
