These systems offer orders of magnitude improvements in sensing and accuracy compared to current technologies.   

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES 

Technical Responsibilities 

• Integrate electronics devices, instruments, third-party devices, and subsystems into larger complex systems comprising RF, analogue, digital, optical, and mechanical elements. 
• Translate system-level requirements into practical integration architectures, interfaces, cabling, power, communications, and control schemes. 
• Develop system interconnects including cable assemblies, harnesses, RF connections, grounding, shielding, power distribution, and signal routing. 
• Perform system bring-up, commissioning, troubleshooting, fault isolation, and performance optimisation. 
• Identify and resolve integration issues including grounding, EMI/EMC, signal integrity, timing, communications, power distribution, and environmental effects. 
• Develop and maintain system diagrams, interface control documentation, wiring diagrams, integration procedures, and configuration records. 
• Define and execute integration, verification, and validation test plans at subsystem and system level. 
• Use laboratory test and measurement equipment to diagnose system-level performance and integration problems. 
• Support installation, deployment, commissioning, and maintenance of systems in laboratory and operational environments. 
• Work closely with electronics, software, FPGA, mechanical, optical, physics, and systems engineering teams to ensure successful end-to-end integration. 
• Support supplier selection and integration of third-party equipment and externally developed subsystems.
