Role Overview

  • Research and develop solutions for the measurement of gas flow, utilizing hardware engineering, embedded software development and applied science skills.
  • Investigate and improve performance capabilities of new and existing products.
  • Provide expert technical advice to wider functions within L+G.

 

Responsibilities

  •  As an experienced development engineer with substantial hardware and firmware development experience, you will work within a multidisciplined team and provide gas flow measurement system development expertise.
  • You must be able to read and understand regulatory compliance and customer requirements:
    • Identify critical performance parameters
    • Evaluate existing designs to determine if they meet those requirements
    • Translate the requirements into specific design targets for other development teams
    • Make recommendations as to which solutions proposed, best meets the needs of the project
  • You will identify, research, and develop improved methods of measuring the flow of gases, providing definitions of measurement system architectures to the wider R&D team.
  • You may be required to identify and liaise with external test houses or research service providers, where L+G don’t have internal capabilities.
  • You will design, prototype and evaluate functional blocks required to implement the product measurement functions.
  • Review product test results, against product requirements, identify non-compliances and propose solutions.
  • Record and report findings, including writing detailed technical reports for consumption by technical and nontechnical readers.
  • Support and guide the hardware development team members during product development, with hands on hardware development where necessary.
  • Support and guide the measurement firmware development team, providing effective code reviews, and hands on firmware development when necessary.
