Job Description:
We are currently partnering with a cutting-edge deep-tech company who have recently received funding and develop next-generation data storage solutions. The recent funding has allowed them to really scale the team this year with numerous hires planned across the business. The company is building an innovative platform focused on energy-efficient, highly resilient storage technology designed to address the growing demands of modern data infrastructure. Off the back of this, they are now looking to hire across their Engineering teams starting with this role – Embedded Engineer. This is a great opportunity for an experienced Embedded Engineer to join a highly multidisciplinary R&D environment working at the intersection of electronics, software, and applied science. In role you will play a key role in designing and integrating precision electromechanical systems at the core of the technology. You will work hands-on in the lab, collaborating closely with scientists and engineers to rapidly prototype and refine complex systems. This role would suit someone who enjoys solving unconventional engineering challenges and working in a fast-paced, experimental setting. The role is based in West London and requires onsite working 5 days per week.
Job Responsibility:
- Design and develop precision electronic and electromechanical systems for accurate and repeatable control
- Own the integration of rigs and prototypes as system complexity increases
- Diagnose and debug electromechanical and control system challenges
