Job description

This Cambridge based engineering team are developing cutting-edge touch technologies and sensors. Their collaborative approach results in innovation and real-world applications. They are recruiting a Sensor Engineer / Physicist to join them with key responsibilities in sensor performance enhancement, optimisation of sensor hardware and algorithms, and enabling the seamless interface between electronics, mechanical, firmware and algorithms.Requirements:

• You’ll hold a degree in electronic engineering or applied physics (and likely a PhD or Master’s).
• Your relevant experience will include research and industrial development with sensor technologies (ideally touch sensors) and system integration.
• Technical skills you’ve used will include MATLAB, Python and C which have been for simulations, algorithm development and data analysis.
• You will have worked closely with hardware and understand how to acquire data from sensors.
• Ideally, you will have experience with ML in advanced algorithm development for sensors, as well as have exposure developing custom sensor ASICs. Any R&D experience with human-machine-interfaced sensors would be desirable.

Due to the nature of projects, the role will (mostly) be onsite based. Their Cambridge base is close to major rail and road routes, with good public transport links. On offer is a competitive salary and benefits.Keywords: Touch Sensors, Engineering, Physics, Algorithms, Electronics, MATLAB / Python / C, Simulations, Custom ASICs, R&D, Machine Learning, CambridgePlease note: even if you don’t have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest – we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to.
