Specifically, you’ll be responsible for:
Sensors:
• Experimentation and testing of inertial sensors and inertial measurement units. State-of-the-art motion, temperature and vibration simulators – necessary training will be provided
• Selection, evaluation and integration of new sensors and sensor technologies: Temperature, pressure, magnetics, sound speed, acoustic, optical and others
• Establish and maintain technical relations with sensor providers
• Enhance test equipment and processes for both R&D and production
• Follow developments in sensor products and technology
Systems:
• Provide technical guidance and undertake design, implementation and testing of multi-sensor integrated products
• Apply and/or expand skills in system design
• Support and take part in product trials; primarily onshore and optionally offshore
• Support project management with time and cost estimates for tasks or small projects
• Apply and/or expand skills in technical project management
