Prototyping and Test Engineer

Working with the R&D team, the prototyping and test engineer will be involved in designing, building and maintaining R&D test equipment, including data acquisition tools, signal measurement and processing, and development of control software. In addition, the engineer will also produce proof-of-concept systems which utilise Peratech’s force-sensing hardware and electronics, which may also be combined with signals from other complementary sensing components.

The engineer will work closely with the rest of the R&D team but will be expected to independently plan, conduct, and analyse developmental work. They will also liaise directly with stakeholders across the R&D, Product Development and Customer teams to understand testing and prototype needs, and will be involved all the way through the development process; from early-stage experiments and proof-of-concepts through to technology transfer for mass production test systems. Successful results will have a real-world impact on Peratech’s sensing solutions and further into customer products and applications.

The engineer is encouraged to take a holistic approach to Peratech’s sensor design and materials selection, and engage with the broader R&D team on a range of projects and activities.
