- Work on collaborative projects with Global Supply Chain (GSC) team and members of the engineering team to improve product test processes and designs.
- Plan and lead continuous improvement projects in gas sensor products, documenting and presenting results to management and key stakeholders.
- Design and conduct lab based DGA device tests, with data acquisition and analysis using appropriate hardware and software.
- Develop data-driven critical to quality (CTQ) parameter analysis in DGA devices and use this to inform and develop enhanced factory test processes.
- Work within the wider R&D team contributing test support and scientific analysis where required.
Essential Criteria
- Relevant Degree.
- Demonstrable experience in relevant industrial setting, working on dissolved gas analysis equipment.
- Experience working with gas detection technology in industrial product development, including appropriate experience and knowledge of safety requirements.
- Proficiency in data analysis and presentations using relevant software packages.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
- Ability to work independently and be self-motivated.
- Demonstrate previous successes working in a team-based environment to meet objectives.
Desirable Criteria
- Experience working with photo-acoustic spectroscopy with a particular application in dissolved gas analysis.
- Proficiency in data acquisition and experimental automation and modelling using relevant software tools (such as MATLAB, Simulink).
- Broad awareness of DGA industry application area, and relevant sensing technologies.
- Experience/interest in data analytics methods such as advanced statistical analysis and/or machine learning.
- Experience and understanding of automated self-diagnostics within scientific engineering devices.
